Taureans can make for very contented babies, but of course with that trademark stubborn streak ! They are quiet, placid, sweet natured children who can be quite shy in front of others. Don't force them to be the centre of attention until they choose to come forward. They are reliable and predictable, exhibiting a maturity beyond their years. You can usually trust these children not to get into trouble, unless it involves playing hard in the dirt. They are very creative and gifted in the arts, singing, painting and dancing come easy to these children. The stubborn streak is one of the areas they can run into trouble if they become rigid on an issue, it won't be easy (most likely impossible ! ) to get them to budge.

Co-sleeping is a wonderful experience for both mother and baby crab. These baby's will not take what they consider rejection lightly, just leaving a room can break their heart, but nothing a cuddle can't fix !
