“Hold your newborn as much as you want to. Show affection to your newborn. Reassure your newborn. Do not listen to those who tell you not to. ”
Mitta Xinindlu

Cory Richards
“After all, family dynamics aren’t independent clusters of choice and consequence, but rather a tapestry of intricately woven threads of action and reaction, passing over and under each other, knotting together time, emotion, and experience as one.”
Cory Richards, The Color of Everything: A Journey to Quiet the Chaos Within
