CRYING 😭😭 his little hands oh my goodness. I learned that babies do this when they feed because of “cross identification“ - whereby the momma is giving them food, love and warmth, and they want to give something back 🥹😭 Such a beautiful blessing to be a mom 🤍🥹 #MomsofTikTok #momtok #firsttimemom #newmom #babiesoftiktok
