PODCAST EPISODE SHOW NOTES

Why is my baby so upset during mealtimes? How can I make feeding less stressful? An upset baby often results in a stressed-out parent, especially during mealtimes. Inadvertently our emotions can also trigger an upset baby but it is necessary for parents to co-regulate with their babies to allow them to develop their ability to cope and deal with their own emotions. 

In this episode, I am interviewing professor and developmental psychologist Dr. Aliza Pressman who will be talking about anxiety during mealtimes and how parents can help support their babies by modeling a sense of emotional balance in order to teach their babies how to self-regulate.
