“Attachment to a baby is a long-term process, not a single, magical moment. The opportunity for bonding at birth may be compared to falling in love - staying in love takes longer and demands more work.”

-T. Berry Brazelton, pediatrician

I believe:  Babies are best treated in the context of their relationships with parents, families, environment, community and culture.  

I believe:  Babies are endlessly fascinating, communicating their needs and wants through their individual language.  Deciphering that language as it unfolds is an evolving process for your entire family.  

I recognize: Parenting is a continuous improvisational dance between you and your baby. It is sometimes fluid and synchronized, while other times staccato and bumpy. Your dance is unique and essential for the nurturing and development of your child.

I recognize: It is an honor to be a part of your family’s life whether it’s for one hour, or for one year, during this invaluable time of care and bonding with your baby.
