Welcome to the summer from the archives series! We’re revisiting some much loved podcast episodes from the early months of the podcast. These are episode that are great to revisit at different points in your parenting journey. 

There’s so much focus on what baby’s need in infancy, and so little focus on what parents need in those early critical months. Even when the focus is on new parents, the focus is often on very basic physical and emotional postpartum changes. This conversation is different! 

In this episode, I have My colleague Rocio from Newborn Parents sharing her deep knowledge of the parental brain. Nurture matters – not just for our babies but for our own transition to parenting as well. We dive into the changes that happen to your brain in early parenting; what your brain (and you) really need; and how to nurture everyone during this period. 

About Rocio  

Rocio is a neuroscientist and mother of two. She is the founder of Newborn Parents, which was born out of the fusion of her two passions: the brain and the relationship between parents and their infants. She educates parents and professionals about parental brain science so that they can take advantage of the profound brain changes that accompany mastrescence and patrescence. She firmly believes that when parents and professionals learn about the power of the parental brain, they can create a path for a lifelong nurturing relationship within families and their babies.
