The Look of Love

Here's a secret weapon every mom needs—eye contact. Seriously, it’s more powerful than caffeine at 2 AM. Lock eyes with your little one, and you'll notice how much they focus and relax.

More Than Just Talk

Last but not least, natter on! Seriously, talk to your baby about anything and everything.

Language exposure is clutch, even if your vocal range tops out at 'singing in the shower.'

"Why, yes, I will narrate my life like a reality TV show!"

Remember, motherhood is a series of small acts learned over time, much like mastering the art of applying winged eyeliner during naptime. You’ll ace it in no time and wonder how you ever doubted your infinite capabilities. Go, you mighty, magnificent mama, go!
