Babies don’t come with manuals – but they do come with expectations. 🍼💛

From their first breath, babies instinctively know what they need: closeness, comfort, and connection. Whether they’re born naturally or via C-section, medicated or not, their instincts remain the same — and so do their deep, primal expectations.

They don’t expect bright lights, separation, or clocks telling them when to feed. They expect you. Your warmth, your heartbeat, your arms, your love.

The more we understand what babies expect from birth and beyond, the more gently we can support their transition into the world.

💡 Curious about what your baby really needs in those early moments and days?

We all know moving our bodies is good for us and it’s just as true for our littlest family members. 👶

The first 5 years are a crucial time for growth, development and setting up healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Active play helps babies and toddlers build strength, coordination and confidence, plus it’s also great for brain development. It supports them to explore, observe and learn from the world around them.

It doesn’t need to be complicated. From tummy time, to playing with pots and spoons, every bit of movement counts.
