I would spend more time alone with him. reading to him, taking him to the park, etc. Maybe someone - Grandma, Aunt, partner could stay with baby for a couple of hours.

It is a challenge to change what has been hardwired into us since our own childhoods but like the article says, we are all works in progress and not perfect.

It's a natural way to work with our energy system on our emotions, even before the reactions happen. It can also decrease the hormonal symptoms - for example, I've had clients stop having hot flashes by using EFT on emotional issues from their past. There is some info about EFT on my website: http://www.breakfromfromyourlimits.comhyp-mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542026231866670326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-11835256209923596062013-04-05T07:30:50.942-04:002013-04-05T07:30:50.942-04:00Great article.
