153: The Truth about Maternal Instinct with Anya Dunham
A huge part of my mothering journey has been learning to quiet the fears and outside influences, and seek instead to truly learn with curiosity about my child and myself. The more I learned about the unique child I had been blessed with, the more I was able to see her true needs and trust myself to meet them. I kind of had to figure out how to do this on my own (although the RIE approach helped immensely) and I wished I'd had someone to tell me that I could trust myself and my child, and then tell me HOW to do it, someone like my guest on the today!
And to help me in this conversation, I have brought in Dr. Anya Dunham. She is a mom of three young children and a scientist studying how living things relate to one another and interact with their environment. She is the author of Baby Ecology, a book that examines child development research through the unique lens of ecology – and distills it down to building blocks of the nurturing environment that can be easily created in our homes to give babies the support and freedom to sleep well, explore happily, grow into adventurous eaters, and reach their full potential.
