Quote

Don’t distract your baby from her feelings by bouncing her on your knee or singing a cheery song. Trying to jolly your baby out of crying will only make her feel disconnected and out of tune with you. Imagine if you were upset and your trusted other responded with a big grin, spoke in a singsongy voice, and tried to humor you out of it. Think about how you would like someone to respond to you when you’re upset.
