Is your baby crying the moment you put them down? Waking up the second you step away? Wanting to be held constantly? If you’ve ever been told that your baby is “manipulating you” or “just crying to get their way,” this episode is for you.

Babies are not capable of manipulating their parents. They cry because they have a need, a feeling, or are communicating something they cannot yet express with words. In this episode, we’re breaking down where the idea of baby manipulation comes from and what is actually happening in your baby’s developing brain.

We’ll talk about attachment, responsiveness, crying, soothing, and why responding to your baby does not mean you are creating bad habits or “spoiling” them. You’ll learn how to better understand your baby’s cues, respond with confidence, and build a secure foundation of trust and connection.

Because your baby isn’t trying to control you. They’re trying to communicate with you. 🤍

Tune in for a reassuring conversation that may completely change the way you see your baby’s cries.
