The Myth of Self-Soothing in Babies

from Motheroo Podcast · host MotherooHQ

In this eye-opening episode, we debunk the myth of self-soothing in babies and explore the science behind infant emotional regulation. We discuss why babies can't physically self-soothe due to their underdeveloped neocortex and the potential risks of non-responsive sleep training methods. Learn about the crucial role of responsive parenting in fostering healthy brain development and emotional well-being in children. Discover how early experiences shape a child's stress response system and impact their long-term mental health. This episode provides valuable insights for parents seeking to understand and support their baby's emotional needs.Read the blog post:⁠⁠https://motheroomontessori.com/⁠⁠Follow us:⁠⁠https://instagram.com/motheroomontessori⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/motheroopodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@motheroomontessori⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/motheroomonte⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/motheroomontessori⁠⁠
