Did you know most mums instinctively cradle their baby on the left side? Around 70% do, without even realising it.
Research suggest this instinct is linked to the right side of the brain, which processes emotion. Holding your baby on the left not only strengthens your emotional connection, but also allows your baby to hear your heartbeat more clearly, a sound that soothes and reassures them.
It’s just one of the many incredible ways your body and brain are wired to nurture your baby from the very beginning.
