I provide simple, science-backed guidance to help you understand your baby’s cues and build a deep, secure bond through touch. ## Photos and videos - [Video: In this session with a fellow expert, I discuss the ancient art of baby massage, a practice that is often outsourced but is most powerful when done by a parent. Learning these techniques yourself is a wonderful way to connect with your baby, understand their cues, and provide comfort.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/14188798-9cf8-4b77-9d46-8a98b7d388e5) - ![This anatomical diagram shows the path of your baby's colon.

It is not just about relief; it is a quiet moment of connection that builds your confidence as a parent. In our session, I will teach you the specific pressure and strokes so you can confidently soothe your little one at home, whether they are lying down or in your lap. The 'fourth trimester' is a massive transition for both you and your baby. Many parents come to me feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, but the truth is your baby is communicating constantly. ### Reading Your Baby’s Cues Your newborn is born with instincts, not just needs. I teach you how to recognize the nine distinct stages a baby goes through, from the birth cry to the first suckling and eventual sleep. Understanding these phases stops the guessing game and helps you respond to your baby's needs before they get frustrated or overtired. ### Beyond Just Feeding My support goes beyond standard lactation advice. While we tackle latching, positioning, and milk supply, we also look at how you are feeling. We talk about: * **Recovery:** How to heal physically, whether you had a C-section or a vaginal birth. * **Massage & Digestion:** How touch impacts a newborn's nervous system. * **Bonding:** Practical ways to integrate massage and play into your daily schedule without it feeling like another chore. ### How We Work Together I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all parenting. My sessions are held online, making it easy for you to get support from the comfort of your home. Whether you are struggling with a fussy baby, need help with breastfeeding, or just want to feel more prepared for the coming months, we will build a plan that fits your family's reality. I combine modern science with gentle care so you can stop worrying and start enjoying this season of life. ## About Pujitha Shetty I’m Pujitha Shetty.
