#170: If “learning to eat is a sensory experience,” ...what does that really mean? In today’s episode renowned pediatric feeding expert Marsha Dunn Klein is teaching us all about Sensory 101 and what motivates babies to eat.
Marsha Dunn Klein wrote the first book on pediatric feeding. She is known for her “Get Permission Approach” which teaches us how to offer and not demand performance at mealtimes with our babies. In this episode she’s sharing the sensory aspects that babies experience during baby-led weaning and how they are tied to intrinsic motivations to self-feed.
Marsha Dunn Klein will be presenting at the upcoming BABY-LED WEANING SUMMIT taking place online (FOR FREE!!) October 18-23, 2021.
Listen to this episode to learn:
- External vs internal motivators that babies experience during the learning how to eat experience
- The difference between demands and offers at mealtimes and how the former is more desirable for motivating babies to eat
- How babies learn to experience hunger and what we can do to avoid inducing negative sensory experiences at mealtimes
