🤍🤍🤍

scientists say babies are born 12 weeks too early compared to other mammals.

that’s why babies can’t walk, crawl, or even sit unassisted for months.

during those first 3 months outside the womb, babies cry an average of 2–3 hours a day.

not because they’re “spoiled,” but because their nervous systems are still unfinished.

their heart rates regulate when they’re against your chest.
their breathing evens out when they hear your voice.
their stress hormones drop simply from your touch.

and yet mothers are told, “don’t hold them too much, you’ll spoil them.”

but the truth is,
you’re not spoiling your baby.
you’re doing exactly what biology designed you to do.

your baby isn’t broken.
you aren’t creating bad habits.
this is how human survival works.

the “fourth trimester” is when babies are still completing the development they couldn’t finish inside the womb.

you can’t spoil a baby.
you can only meet the most natural, biological need a human will ever have-
to be close to the one who gave them life.

The more you know…. 💫

We use birth balls during our MSVW workshops because they’re a simple but powerful tool for easing tension, supporting comfort, and preparing the body for labor. 💕 We show you, hands-on, how to improve posture to encourage the baby’s optimal position. These gentle movements go a long way.

✨ Stay tuned! Our next workshop is on 11/1. Registration details coming soon!
In the meantime, join our support groups: Prenatal Circles on Tuesdays and Postpartum Circles on Thursdays. Connect, share, and prepare alongside other parents
