Why Your Baby Needs Repetition

Doing the same thing again and again helps your baby feel secure

Adults often look for variety.
Babies look for familiarity.

When the same song plays before sleep, when feeding happens in a similar way, or when a familiar face appears in stressful moments, your baby begins to predict what will happen next.

This predictability reduces stress.
It helps your baby organize their world and feel more in control of their environment.

Repetition also supports learning.
Each repeated experience strengthens memory and understanding, whether it is a sound, a movement, or a routine.

What feels repetitive to you often feels reassuring to your baby.
