Baby Behavior at Mealtimes: What the Science Says with Tina Payne Bryson, PhD

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Episode Description

What is your baby’s behavior at mealtime telling you? Is it possible to spoil a baby by feeding him too much? Can babies even exhibit “bad” behavior? In this episode author, child development and parenting specialist Tina Payne Bryson, PhD is joining me to break it ALL down when it comes to your baby’s behavior at mealtimes - diving DEEP into what the science says!

Tina is the co-author of well-known parenting books such as The Whole-Brain Child and No Drama Discipline (...aka the BIBLE when my quadruplets were toddlers and I had NO idea how to compassionately discipline!) I love Tina’s science-based approach to tackling topics and she’s covering a TON of baby behavior in her new book The Bottom Line For Baby.

Tina is walking us through a TON of positive parenting techniques, like how to react when your baby starts throwing food, responding to family members or friends who question your decision to do baby-led weaning and how to establish boundaries when baby starts pushing your buttons!
