The Why Beneath Your Baby’s Behavior With Kaili Ets

from The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast

So many babies who struggle with sleep also struggle with transitions, with feeding, with going from zero to a million in a second. In this episode I’m exploring a different way of looking at sleep, feeding, and fussiness concerns with Kaili Ets, a colleague, sleep coach, and OT. Our conversation focuses on looking beneath the behavior at the nervous system. We talk about temperament, nervous system regulation, and capacity. Kaili shares tips for how to spot body tension in your baby and for supporting increased capacity. We talk through finding the why – why your baby is struggling; why are they so sensitive; why is their system working so hard . It’s about digging into the why beneath the behavior you are seeing and connecting the dots.About KailiKaili Ets is a pediatric occupational therapist, infant craniosacral therapist, author, speaker, and host of the Mothering From Within podcast.
