Newborns & Infants
Bringing a baby into the world changes everything. The days may feel long, the sleep may be scarce, and you may find yourself learning as you go. But the love will blow you away.
Bringing a baby into the world is a sacred act. No less sacred is the work ahead, where you and your baby, together, create an intimate relationship that will become the foundation of his emotional health for the rest of his life.
During these early months, babies depend on us to help them feel safe, regulated, and loved. Every time you comfort your baby, respond to their cries, hold them close, and delight in them, you are helping shape a secure attachment and a healthy developing brain.
