In this episode, Kaili introduces the 'Rooted in Regulation Map,' a heart-centered framework to help parents understand their baby's sleep, feeding, development, and moods. Kaili uses the analogy of a tree to explain how a baby’s visible behaviors (branches) are influenced by their internal states (roots and trunk). She dives into the importance of addressing your baby’s nervous system, alignment, and movement patterns to improve their overall well-being. Key points include the importance of safety and connection, body comfort, and establishing rhythms. Kaili emphasizes being present and calm as essential for fostering your baby’s regulation and offers gentle bodywork techniques as potential aids. This episode aims to build parental confidence and insight into nurturing their baby's holistic growth.
