We often label babies as
“crying for attention”
“being difficult”
“manipulative”
But babies don’t cry for no reason.
Crying is communication.
Newborns aren’t wired for routines, logic, or self-soothing yet. Their brains are still focused on one thing: survival. They don’t understand day and night. Their bodies are still learning when to sleep, feed, and feel safe. Hormones that regulate circadian rhythm take time to develop.
Yet we expect them to latch perfectly, follow wake windows, calm themselves, and fit into adult schedules... while we ourselves have different needs on different days.
When we understand how babies are wired, we stop trying to control them and start responding to them.
Gentle touch, rhythm, warmth, and responsive feeding speak directly to the parts of a baby’s brain that understand safety. This is why practices like infant massage and supported breastfeeding aren’t “extras”; they’re foundational tools that help babies settle, digest better, and feel secure in a brand-new world.
Our Infant Care Basics Class helps expecting parents understand their baby before they arrive — covering breastfeeding, infant massage, and early cues — so you feel calmer, more confident, and prepared from day one. Next batch is happening on 14&15 Feb.
Because babies don’t need to be trained.
They need to be understood.
