8: Why do Babies Cry?


Listen Later

Listening to your baby cry can be frustrating and worrying. Is your baby crying because something is wrong or because they need something?  In this episode I talk about the importance of learning to listen to your baby and tuning in, rather than shutting down or turning to outside sources for guidance. You will learn about the biological response of a mother to her baby as well as the inherent nature of crying as communication. I have included a short meditation to help you quieten your mind and expand your awareness of your baby's ability to communicate with you.
