Shandy Aulia is not alone in her new routine as a parent. The full name owner, Nyimas Shandy Aulia, is increasingly united with her husband since the arrival of baby Claire in their small family.

The couple, who always appear romantic in public, always take care of Claire Herbowo together, both together and alternately. Starting from staying up together to taking turns carrying baby Claire while exercising at the gym, Shandy and David do it without difficulty.

2. Not Relying on a Babysitter

Shandy and David decided to take care of baby Claire without the help of a babysitter because they didn't want to miss out on moments of growth and the first experience of taking care of their little one. Although Shandy actually employs a nurse, David Herbowo's wife prefers to take care of Claire herself. The nurse's duty is only to prepare or bring baby Claire's necessities.

"Actually, I have a babysitter, but I have the mindset that a babysitter is only there to help. Help with carrying things, fetching things. But when it comes to Claire, I prefer to use my own hands with David," she said while talking with Titi Kamal on the Titi and Tian YouTube channel, (14/5).

"I use a babysitter when I go out, I always bring them along. They help with carrying the stroller, sometimes carrying things, but when it comes to carrying Claire, it can be counted on one hand, only when we're really pressed for time," she explained.

3. Free Exploration

Although not yet a year old, baby Claire has successfully made many people adore her because she can already do many activities. The secret is that Shandy Aulia always interacts with her in various activities, including playing together with interactive toys and play dates. As known, baby Claire has played with Cassia Shakir Ganinduto, the child of Chacha Frederica, and also Kiano Tiger Wong.

Shandy also allows baby Claire to explore new things and lets her rise on her own if she falls while learning to stand, while continuously watching and encouraging the little one. The goal is for Claire to become a resilient, independent, and not easily give up child.

4. Exclusive Breastfeeding with Complementary Foods

For nutritional intake, Shandy Aulia chooses to provide EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING with complementary foods without any formula milk at all before Claire turns 6 months old. The complementary foods given to her baby are certainly the result of consultation with a pediatrician and nutrition expert.

Shandy considers this decision as the best form of care for Claire according to her own version because no one knows the child's condition better than the mother. Shandy herself always learns more in order to provide the best for baby Claire.

5. Teaching Swimming from an Early Age

Claire Herbowo has shown an interest in playing with water since a young age. Therefore, Shandy Aulia invited Claire to enter the swimming pool for the first time when she was only 6 months old. Previously, Claire used to swim in the bathtub wearing a neck float.

Learning from her own childhood experience of being introduced to the pool as a baby, Shandy wants to introduce the little one to water as early as possible. Shandy taught various movements to baby Claire during swimming sessions in the pool, one of which is lying on her back.

6. Being Dirty is Good

As baby Claire grows older, she starts to enjoy trying new things. Therefore, Shandy becomes more enthusiastic about teaching new knowledge to her beloved child, of course in a fun and enjoyable way.

Recently, Shandy introduced colors to the little one using finger paint. It is said that finger paint is safe for babies and it's okay if it gets into the mouth. In addition, this coloring is also easy to wash if it gets on clothes.

The fun moment of learning colors, which also involved her father, David Herbowo, apparently ended up in a paint war. It was so much fun that Shandy, David, and Baby Claire ended up covered in paint.

7. Introduce Children to Nature
