#183 - In this eye-opening episode of First Time Mum's Chat, I'm joined by parenting expert and podcast host Ann McKitrick to uncover the fascinating world of infant communication - from subtle cries and facial expressions to scent, gaze, and touch.

With 30+ years of experience in early childhood development, Ann brings heartfelt stories and practical insights that will shift the way you understand your baby’s needs.

💡 You’ll learn:

• What your baby’s gaze, grimace, and coos are telling you
• Why picking up your baby when they cry builds trust, not “spoiling”
• How a baby’s sense of smell deepens attachment
• Why singing the right song can soothe even the most distressed newborn
• What it truly means to “dance” in tune with your baby's cues

Whether you’re navigating sleepless nights or wondering how to connect more deeply with your little one, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, reassured, and seen.Check out the show notes at https://www.mybabymassage.net/podcast/183.
