Sagittarius
If your baby is born between 23 November – 21 December, your baby’s star sign is Sagittarius
Sagittarians love lots of movement and being outdoors from a very young age, so take her out of the pram and, once she’s toddling about, let her run outside as much as you can. She is visual and adores bright colours and watching what’s going on. As long as you’ve worn her out physically and mentally, she’ll be a good sleeper. Of all the star signs, Sagittarians are the most sociable.

Your baby’s zodiac sign may give you an insight into their personality.
Capricorn
If your baby is born between 22 December – 20 January, your baby’s star sign is Capricorn
If anyone has ever leaned over your baby’s pram and said ‘she’s an old soul’, then your child is very true to her star sign. Capricorn children are incredibly thoughtful and a lot goes in, even though you might not get much of a reaction. So don’t worry if she just stares at you when you smile at her – rest assured it’s all being absorbed. She’s interested in different tastes and textures, and this will make it easy when you start her on solids.

Aquarius
If your baby is born between 21 January – 19 February, your baby’s star sign is Aquarius
An Aquarius child realises early on that a big smile will distract her parents and allow her to get her own way. She is clever and will chuckle while thinking, ‘I’ve got you where I want you!’. She loves movement and colour so a mobile over her cot will be a hit. Older children don’t like to sit still for long, so potty training could be tricky. Teach her new things in short, sharp bursts.

Pisces
If your baby is born between 20 February – 20 March, your baby’s star sign is Pisces
Pisces babies are gentle souls. They don’t like loud noise and need plenty of security and hugs. Use a baby sling to carry her around so she feels protected. And choose smaller, calmer baby or toddler groups for her to attend. Don’t worry if she clings to your legs – she won’t forever! If you are expecting another baby, take extra time to help your Piscean toddler adjust. A new sibling could make her feel insecure so help her understand that a new baby won’t mean she is loved any less.

Aries
If your baby is born between 21 March – 20 April, your baby’s star sign is Aries
Aries children are fiery, excitable and need lots of stimulation and love. With such inquisitive minds, they can quickly get frustrated. Rather than getting her to focus on one thing for 10 minutes, give her several things to keep her attention. Keep her wardrobe simple: she needs to feel free, so dress her in simple cotton or jersey.

The most family-focused of the star signs, a Cancerian baby will enjoy being swaddled as she needs to feel secure.
She’s caring and will be aware of duty to family from a young age, which means she’s a brilliant older sibling.
She also loves to be useful, so she’ll thrive on being in charge of ‘tidy time’. Any big change to her routine, such as starting solids, can make her feel insecure, so take it slowly and give her lots of reassurance and encouragement.
