Before we get into the tips: Mama *ONLY* attacks when you make noise, or when you get extremely near her. So the basic tip is: don't make any noise before you make sure mama is not near.

-If your tattletail makes noise, take care of it. If it is in need of feeding, charging, or grooming, then just take care of those, always trying not to make noise. If it is a low light warning, recharge your flashlight. If mama kills it, try to get away.

-If mama is near you, DON'T run, no matter the circunstances. You can only run when you make sure mama is not near. Otherwise, the chances dying are extremely high.

-As said in the game, if mama kills your flashlight, get away before you shake it again.

-Before breaking vases, you need to know where mama is. Always avoid breaking vases when mama is near.
