You might think you know how to breathe. But if you're not doing it intentionally, there's a good chance you don't.

On today's episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum is joined by Rocio Zunini, Ph.D, a neuroscientist, parental brain educator, and expert on the connection between your breath, your body, and your baby.

This is one of our most practical episodes yet. Dr. Rocio walks us through a simple breathing exercise you can use anywhere to reduce stress and regulate your nervous system.

As a parent, your stress level affects everything. It shapes your brain, it impacts your emotions, and it directly influences your baby's experience. Your nervous system is in constant conversation with your baby's. Learning to breathe with intention is one of the most powerful and accessible ways to support both of you at the same time.

No matter where you are in your parenting journey, one thing is true. By listening to this podcast, you're already making space to grow, to care more intentionally, and to be present.
