Your Baby Can Feel Your Stress

Babies can’t read words, but they can read you.
Your tone, your movements, your heartbeat — all of it teaches them what safety feels like.

Psychologists call it co-regulation: the process where your nervous system teaches theirs.
When you hold your baby and breathe slowly, you’re not just soothing them — you’re showing them how peace feels in the body.

And it works both ways.
When your baby relaxes against you, your stress hormones drop too.
That’s biology’s way of saying: we heal each other.

You don’t need to be endlessly calm or perfect.
You just need to return — again and again — to connection.
