Dear mothers,
Disconnection isn’t lost.
It’s just being taken, packaged in consumerism and resold to you.

Your baby craves what they’ve always known. Comfort, closeness, security, love, attachment. We have outsourced so much of early infancy when nearly everything about a baby’s biology points toward connection.

Hold them.
Respond to them.
Rock them.
Feed them to sleep if that works for your family.

But closeness was never the problem. Normalizing separation was. So we replaced arms with products, presence with programs and God given instinct with instructions.

You are, and always will be their first home.
