The Calm You Teach Without Words

Babies are born without knowing how to calm themselves. They borrow your calm first.

When you hold your baby close, your heartbeat and breathing act like a guide. This process, called co-regulation, teaches the baby’s nervous system what safety feels like.
Over time, their body learns to copy your rhythm.

That’s why slow, deep breathing, a steady tone, or gentle rocking can calm both of you at once.
Your baby’s ability to relax isn’t something they’re born with — it’s something they learn from you, moment by moment.

Even during pregnancy, your emotional state helps shape how their body handles stress. A peaceful moment for you becomes a peaceful memory for them.
