Why You Should Watch

It may seem counterintuitive, but the more you meet your tiny newborn's needs - even if it's just the need for a cuddle – the less needy your baby will become. Discover your infant's perspective on spoiling and why manipulation takes a lot more cognitive thought than your babe's capable of just yet, and get useful parenting tips for raising a secure, resilient child.

What you'll see from a baby's eye view:

  • Why your child is not capable of manipulating you (just yet)
  • Why it's important to put your baby's needs first
  • How more attention now will lead to fewer issues later on

What you'll discover:

  • Why grandma's well-meant advice on spoiling may be off the mark
  • How to meet your newborn's needs
  • How to help your baby feel secure in their new world

Understanding that your baby's cries are not meant to manipulate you will help you step back and remain calm while meeting your newborn's needs, making things less stressful for everyone!

Nice post!
