How hard is babysitting an infant (ten month old)?

I'm babysitting a ten month old boy today, and I've been like a mOther's helper for babies (I'm 13) but this is my first time actually babysitting a littler baby. Any tips?

They move around a lot. Make sure you ask the mom about food and snacks and nap time. Also ask what kind of videos they can watch. Just make sure you always keep an eye on him. Do not let them out of your site.

Have fun with him!
Good luck.

    My son is going to be 10 months next week. At this age they are fun, but very very busy and have a short attention span. Just keep him busy and watch for things going in the mouth and you should be fine! Good luck!

    ten months? yeah as the person below said, good luck.
    each baby is different but if he's still in diapers and such make sure you check him every now and then, and yea keep an eye on him, babies are mischevious little things lol.
    still adorable though =3

    you need to have lots of movies set up, and shows! be prepared for dirty diapers and short naps.

    but the most important thing is:
    when in dought, make funny faces

    it works, trust me

    hope i helped!=)
