Episode 70: Letting Go A Little Series Part 4 - For Feeding and Settling Your Baby
When we hold tension, babies can pick this up from us. Using a simple relaxation before a feed or when settling baby, can be done quickly in a few moments once practiced. This can be learned during pregnancy or after your baby is born.
Using several of the key phrases from Mitchells Physiological Relaxation, you can let go of a little tension. If you are breastfeeding, with practice, this can help bring a little more ease at times into let down occurring.
This relaxation is the fourth in our Letting Go A Little Series, with Dianne.
