How to Practice
- Use any available moment — while feeding, after settling the baby, or during a partner handover.
- You don't need to close your eyes. Breathe naturally but consciously.
- Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, letting your belly expand.
- Exhale slowly for 6 seconds — release the tension you've been carrying.
- Even 3–4 cycles during a 60-second window will measurably lower your stress response.
如何练习

- 不需要闭上眼睛。自然但有意识地呼吸。
- 用鼻腔吸气4秒，让腹部扩张。
- 缓慢地呼气6秒——释放你一直承受的紧张感。
