Understanding Your Baby
Babies can’t talk—but they are communicating with you all the time. Crying, facial expressions, movements, and even body tension are ways your baby is telling you what they need. When you learn to interpret these cues early on, you can respond more calmly and confidently, reduce frustration (for both of you!), and strengthen your emotional bond.
This service helps take the guesswork out of those early weeks and gives you the tools to parent with greater clarity, trust, and connection.
