EP 59: The Nurture Revolution

Have you heard someone tell a new mother to 'not hold her baby too much' or to 'time out the baby's feeding sessions', or to let the baby 'cry itself to sleep'? Turns out, there's scientific evidence that has found "spoiling" your baby with affection, attention, and protection actually grows their brain development and transforms their mental health for life! Nicole has a very informative and eye-opening conversation with Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum who is a Neuroscientist, Family Sleep Specialist, Doula and Author. Her book, "The Nurture Revolution" guides parents on how to set their children up for success starting in infancy. Dr. Kirshenbaum challenges the idea on how we cultivate independence in our children, explains how past generations can affect your nervous system, and discusses just how *much nurturing our children need to succeed. Thanks to her steadfast research and experience, she is helping "speak for the babies" -- and moms all over the world are ready to listen.
