YOU AND YOUR BABY’S HEARTBEAT SYNCHRONISE ❤️❤️ One thing we love in our classes is seeing you gaze into your baby’s eyes. But did you know that when you and your baby make eye contact something truly magical happens. Both your and your baby’s nervous systems begin to co-regulate — meaning that your bodies start to align physiologically.
One fascinating effect is that both your heart rates can synchronise.
This happens because of a process called bio-behavioural synchrony. Through eye contact, touch, voice, and facial expressions, a baby’s heartbeat, breathing, and even brain activity can begin to mirror the mother’s.
It's the body's way of creating emotional safety and bonding — crucial for a baby’s development and a mother’s wellbeing.
How amazing is Mother Nature?
