In this episode of Modern Nurture, we sit down with Anya Dunham, a research scientist and mother of three, to discuss insights from her book, Baby Ecology. Anya talks about the capabilities and development of babies in the womb and in their early years, the impacts of sensory stimulation, and practical tips for sleep and play. The conversation touches on essential topics like prenatal learning, mind-mindedness, the importance of proper sensory input, and the effects of screen time. Additional insights about baby intuition and sleep routines are also covered.
Be sure to check out Anna's book, Baby Ecology.
