I wish someone had explained that to me when my daughter was born... Babies cry for two main reasons: 1. To meet their NEEDS ✨ We know that babies cry when they're hungry, cold or uncomfortable. In other words, when they have a NEED that needs to be met. And it's important to do everything we can to meet their needs as soon as possible so they feel better (and they stop crying). But there is another reason why babies cry: 2. To express their FEELINGS or to release some STRESS ✨ After a stressful day, after having had a fright, to heal from a difficult birth, or to express their sadness or anger, babies will cry to express their emotions, release some stress and heal. Crying is a natural healing mechanism we're all born with. And the best we can do in that case, is to lovingly hold baby in our arms, to stay calm and to reassure her that we're there with her, that we see her and hear her. <3 I wish someone had told that me when I had my baby... 👉 When you've tried everything (changing nappy, fed, put on/taking of clothes, etc.) and baby is still crying, it could be that all she needs is for you to calmly listen to her feelings with compassion, so she can feel heard, release some stress and feel relaxed again. <3 With lots of Love to all the new Mamas out there. You've got this. xx Manon

Should we be consistent with our children? Yes... but being consistent doesn't mean being rigid in our rules!

It doesn't feel good to anyone involved when we get angry, and our relationship with our child can get a little damaged.
