On this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure, we delve into the fascinating world of infant development and nurturing secure attachment with Professor Mark Tomlinson. Professor Tomlinson is a leading researcher from Stellenbosch University with over three decades of experience. Understanding Secure Attachment Professor Tomlinson emphasizes the importance of secure attachment in an infant's early life. Professor Tomlinson highlights that attachment begins even before birth, during pregnancy, as parents start imagining and bonding with their unborn child. After birth, this attachment continues to develop through the caregiver's consistent and responsive care. Secure attachment lays the foundation for a child's emotional and social health, influencing their ability to regulate form healthy relationships. The Role of Co-Regulation and Self-Regulation A major theme discussed is the concept of co-regulation and its evolution into self-regulation. In the early months, parents play a crucial role in regulating their infant's emotions and needs. Over time, as infants grow, they gradually learn to self-soothe and manage their emotions, a process that continues well into adolescence. Professor Tomlinson highlights the importance of allowing children to experience failures and learn from them, fostering resilience and self-regulation skills. Navigating Parenting Challenges We explore the challenges parents face in deciding how much responsibility to take versus allowing their child to self-regulate. Professor Tomlinson discusses various parenting approaches, including controlled crying and attachment parenting, advising that no single method is correct. Instead, parents should trust their instincts and adapt their approach based on their child's needs and their unique relationship. Long-Term Impact of Secure Attachment Professor Tomlinson shares insights from his longitudinal research, showing the long-term benefits of secure attachment. He explains how securely attached children are better equipped to handle social interactions, manage emotions, and succeed academically. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who want to understand the crucial role of secure attachment in their child's development. Professor Tomlinson's insights offer practical advice on fostering a healthy parent-child relationship, managing the challenges of early parenting, and supporting long-term emotional well-being. Tune in to gain valuable knowledge that can help you navigate the complexities of raising a resilient and well-adjusted child.

Today's episode was filmed at the Future Directions in Choline Symposium put on by the University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute.Our day two episode opens with Dr. Eric Ciappio and Dr. Jonathan Bortz of Balchem, summarizing day one's focus on pregnancy and early life and previewing day two's focus on the latest choline research targeting adult nutrition. (1:03)The next guest on our roster is Dr. Mark Manary, a professor of pediatrics at the Washington University School of Medicine. Mark's symposium talk discusses choline and food aid. Food aid products are specially designed to address needs from crisis situations. These specialized food aid products are standardized to meet great deficiency or inadequacy needs. On the most extreme side, there is a product called ready-to-eat therapeutic food for children who are starving to death. Other food aid products include those for severely underweight children. Dr. Manary's research consists of clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa that include different nutrients in food aid to see if there are improvements in children's responses. One trial with the inclusion of DHA found a 6-15 IQ point difference by adding fish oil or DHA. Mark hypothesizes that a doubling of that effect will be observed when choline is added. (6:42)Dr. Rima Obeid from Saarland University Hospital in Homburg, Germany, joins us next. Her symposium presentation focused on choline and pregnancy outcomes. Their research group has found that low or insufficient amounts of choline in the mother's diet during pregnancy are associated with a higher risk for serious birth defects in babies and that the liver health of the infants is also negatively affected by low choline intake of the mother during pregnancy. Rima's future research includes investigating the impacts and interactions of folate and choline consumption during pregnancy on neural tube defects such as spina bifida. In another study, she will focus on the relationship between the severity of congenital heart defects compared to neural tube defects. In particular, they wish to look at the association with low choline in the blood of the children, the mother and the father, because a pilot study suggests a family pattern, which could be due to some genetic background. (17:18)Our next guest is Dr. Susan Smith, Deputy Director of the University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute. One of her presentations centered on choline genetics and cognition. Her research has found genetic variation in choline uptake from the diet. One research question was, “Are there choline variants that affect how powerful that choline is in treating a disease condition?” In particular, Dr. Smith was investigating if choline could be used to treat children who have brain damage from prenatal alcohol exposure, and the answer is yes, it's very helpful. Then, they evaluated if some children benefit more than others and found that there is a gene variant that affects how efficiently choline is absorbed from the diet. Children with the variant that reduced choline uptake benefitted the most from supplemental choline. In addition, there was an impact of the gene variant on cognitive function regardless of prenatal alcohol exposure. Children who carried one or two copies of this particular variant had reduced cognitive performance as compared to those children who were lucky enough to be born with the other variant. While we still don't have a blanket recommendation for how much choline pregnant women should consume, Dr. Smith's message to pregnant women is that eating enough choline lets your baby achieve its full potential. (23:32)Dr. Isis Trujillo-Gonzales and Dr. Evan Paules, both with the University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute join us. Isis focuses on choline and brain/eye development, while Evan focuses on choline and metabolic health. Dr. Trujillo-Gonzales's research has found that the neurons in the eye that receive light and connect to the rest of our brain are impacted by choline absorption. Her lab has also investigated the mechanism of action for choline's effect on brain development. The stem cells in the brain that give rise to neurons are very sensitive to choline availability. If a pregnant mom is not consuming enough choline, these cells in the baby's brain are not proliferating adequately. Choline is important in the microRNA that fine-tunes the regulation of this pool of stem cells. Dr. Paules's research is focused on the metabolic symptoms of obesity and the impact of choline on them. For example, giving choline to someone who is deficient can ameliorate the symptoms of fatty liver disease.  One area emerging in his work is the loss of lean mass as people age. It appears that increased loss of lean muscle is observed in people who aren't consuming adequate choline. This suggests that as we age, making sure we have sufficient amounts of choline intake may help prevent the loss of lean muscle tissue. (32:58)Dr. Bryan White with the University of Illinois is our next guest, and his area of interest is the microbiome. In particular, he discusses the role of the microbiome in TMAO production. TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) is a metabolite that has been associated with cardiovascular disease. In short, the microbiome produces TMA (trimethylamine), which is converted to TMAO in the liver. Some of the seminal TMAO literature suggests that there is a diet effect on the production of TMAO and that diet changes the microbiome so that more TMAO is produced in the bloodstream. When it comes to microbiome research, there are generally four questions that can be asked about the microbial community: 1) Who's there? 2) How many of them are there? 3) What can they do (given their genetic potential)? and 4) What do they do? The seminal research used 16s ribosome technology to evaluate which microbes were present and their abundance in the microbiome of people consuming omnivorous versus vegetarian diets. It stated that there was a correlation between diet and blood levels of TMAO. Dr. White took the small read archives of that manuscript (the sequencing they did of 16s ribosomes) and got the opposite results of the original paper. (42:25)Our next guest is Dr. Jonathan Bortz with Balchem Corporation, whose presentation was titled, “TMAO and Choline: A Mechanistic Perspective.” In the last several years, there have been concerns about choline advanced by a group of investigators who have claimed that excessive intake of meat, eggs, and other animal-source foods (resulting in choline and/or carnitine upon digestion) generate a substance in the blood called TMAO, trimethylamine oxide. Their hypothesis has been that TMAO has a negative effect on the cardiovascular system and has been associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular disease. However, Dr. Bortz presented multiple examples of how the concerns about choline with respect to TMAO having a causative effect on cardiovascular disease really cannot be supported. In other words, choline does not represent a risk to any users, young or old. (51:42)Dr. Julia Maeve Bonner with Sanofi joins us next to give an overview of her presentation about choline and Alzheimer's disease. In her postdoctoral work at MIT, Dr. Bonner focused on the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, which is involved in making a protein that helps carry fat in the bloodstream. Dysfunction in this process is thought to contribute to the development of Alzheimer's. APOE4 is the most highly validated risk factor for Alzheimer's. Dr. Bonner wanted to understand what is happening in APOE4 high risk allele compared to the APOE3 neutral risk allele of this gene in brain cells (astrocytes) in culture. She found that the APOE4 astrocytes accumulated neutral lipids, particularly triacylglycerols, to a much higher degree than APOE3 cells. These lipid droplets is associated with many different dysfunctions in the cell that can be associated with neurodegeneration. If APOE4 cells were grown in a choline-rich media, the lipid imbalance was shifted much closer to the APOE3 cells. Dr. Bonner's group was able to pinpoint that phosphatidylcholine synthesis is the mechanism of action by which choline supplementation had the lipid-shifting effect in APOE4 cells. She has also studied choline supplementation in mice that have Alzheimer's disease genes knocked in where they accumulate the plaques that we see in human brains in Alzheimer's disease. In the background, they also have the human APOE knocked in, which means that they're expressing either APOE3 or APOE4. Again, they saw a protection against the accumulation of some of the Alzheimer's-related damage as well as a lipid shift similar to the brain cell cultures. (1:03:00)To summarize the Future Directions in Choline Symposium, Dr. Dr. Stephen Hursting and Dr. Susan Smith with the University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute join us. They give their perspectives on the advancements of the field of choline research and leave us with the take-home message that choline is a critical nutrient for the entire healthspan.

The development of children born very preterm is most often evaluated using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. These single assessments are routinely used as outcome measures for neonatal interventions or as a means of prognosis. However, early Bayley scores may not accurately predict later outcomes. In this episode of Pediapod, we speak to Dr. Mary Lauren Neel from Emory University who, along with her team, set up a study to determine whether Bayley-III score trajectories measured at multiple timepoints in children born very preterm, predicted school readiness at age 5, better than a single assessment.

In 2016, when the NYS DOH put out a request for application to receive the Creating Breastfeeding Friendly Communities (CBFC) Grant, the Rockland County Lactation community united to support and work together for this initiative. At that time, 86.6% of new mothers in the state initiated breastfeeding, but only 56% were still breastfeeding at six months, and of those, only 17% were exclusively breastfeeding.   Patti's organization felt that connecting and supporting breastfeeding families beyond their hospital stay could make a big difference. The CBFC initiatives goal was to include physician practices, daycares, worksites, and public locations in the effort to support breastfeeding families for a longer period. Listen to find out how Patti and her practice made a change in the amount and type of education and support they were offering to their patients and how they involved their whole community in the effort.

I've always found when communicating with your little one and navigating through those ups and downs of parenthood, that trying to think like they do is a big help. Yes, of course it's easier said than done.Applying a good dose of empathy and thinking like they do often goes a long way and helps a lot.In this week's episode of First Time Mum's Chat I'm talking with author, special educator and behavior therapist Chris Lake. Chris had his first child during the COVID pandemic and his interactions led him to write his book, Help Your Toddler Meet Their Milestones: 101 Behavior Hacks. During our discussion, you'll hear Chris talk about how his book helps parents learn how to help their child communicate, speak.And much more!

When it comes to the growth and development of your little one, I think it's safe to say that most mums have a tendency to be oversensitive. We all have stories to relate of parents we know or have seen being hugely over protective.However, no one knows your little one like you do, so it's important to seek professional help if you feel something is amiss with their natural development. Always trust that gut feeling!The earlier conditions such as ADHD and autism are diagnosed, the better, so if in doubt get on to it!This week's guest Theresa Inman knows all about this because she works with children from birth to three years of age to help identify whether they have issues. She then provides strategies and help, in conjunction with an occupational therapist which can help prevent things from escalating.Theresa is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist and author of the book How Can I Help My Child Communicate.In this episode you'll hear Theresa and I talk about:-Why it's so important for early intervention and to get them diagnosed early during the crucial birth to aged three window and not to delay this.What moms can look for that could indicate issues such as speech delays or sensory issues.Possible signs that could point to autism.AND much more.So go ahead, my dear mum.

We understand how confusing and somewhat daunting starting solids can be for families. When do you start? What foods do you being with? Is your baby getting all their required nutrients for growth & development? That's why this week I sat down with our infant nutritionist Mel to discuss introducing solids. In this podcast episode, Mel and I discuss:How do parents know when their baby is ready to start solids including how to look for the signs of readiness;The difference between spoon vs baby led weaning;We delve into the top 9 allergenic foods, and when and how to introduce them to your baby;Plus the essential nutrients you need to consider when starting solids;What foods we suggest you begin with (and guess what? It's not rice cereal!).If you are wanting a little more guidance when it comes to starting solids, Mel has Starting Solids consultations available which include an in-depth plan for you to reference back to.

Dr. Carole Keim MD takes parents through all the different developmental milestones that babies go through from newborn to one year of age. She details the types of development, how to play with your baby to enhance development, and how much screen time is okay for babies.Dr. Keim explains how your baby's grasp will develop as they age through their first year and when they'll be able to use their thumb and forefinger to pick up small objects, for example. She explains how far they can see when they're newborn, when they start to recognize voices and then faces, when they develop object permanence (which is the same time they start to love playing peek-a-boo). She covers reflexes, speech patterns, tummy time, stranger anxiety, helpful play, and everything you need to know about how your baby is absorbing their world.This episode will cover: Types of developmentDevelopmental milestones by ageHow to play with your babyScreen timeTypes: 0:42Gross motor skills - use large muscle groupsFine motor - small muscle groupsVerbal/social - their interaction with family / peersIsolated delays are often benign;

Now babies are being seen every three months, so the next few visits will be 9 months, 12 months, 15 months and 18 months. Carole Keim is also working on a third edition of The Baby Manual coming out soon. And another book called The Baby Manual Step By Step which will go chronologically, a one chapter at a time guide. You just need to read one chapter that will go with whatever age your baby is and the closest checkup to your baby's age.All of the information in this episode is also in The Baby Manual book, which is available for purchase. Remember it is always okay to call your doctor or emergency services if you have concerns about your baby's health.  Resources discussed in this episode:The Baby Manual - Available on Amazon--Dr. Carole Keim MD: linktree | tiktok | instagram

Danielle Daure holds a Master's Degree in Education and has over 20 years' combined experience in education and behavior analysis. She is a Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analyst (BCBA, LBA). For years, Danielle worked with children as old as five with extreme anxiety around toilets, to the point where they had severe constipation through tears and tantrums. She saw frustrated parents trying to reward and/or punish their children into potty-training; children who couldn't start preschool because they weren't out of diapers; and even older toddlers with impacted bowels who had to be hospitalized because of days of withholding bowel movements. Toilet training isn't inherently difficult to learn; it is only that adults haven't been taught how to property introduce children to the toilet in a way that's natural and developmentally-appropriate. She has learned personally and professionally that when parents take simple daily steps, just 2-3 minutes per day from about four months on, toilet training will develop as easily and naturally as learning how to walk and talk and ride in a carseat. Her method is called Developmental Toilet Training, and doesn't subscribe to the diaper-free approach of the well-known Elimination Communication method because she says it's not practical, nor is it especially beneficial, to rush the process during infancy and avoid diapers entirely. Danielle, who offers a video series for parents, also encourages her clients to avoid using training-potties. Today, she walks us through her method for creating the easiest transition from diapers to toilet, and, surprisingly, the process isn't about getting to the goal of potty-training as soon as possible; it's about creating a safe, happy, stress-free and rewarding process for parents and children along the way.Developmental Toilet Training Website**********This show is sponsored by:Silverette USA*DYPER*NOM Maternity*Vyana Infant Massage*Wildbird.co*Beautiful Births and Beyond*Postpartum Soothe**Use promo code DOWNTOBIRTHConnect with Cynthia and Trisha at:Instagram: @downtobirthshow on InstagramEmail: Contact@DownToBirthShow.comCall: (802) 438-3696 (802-GET-DOWN)Work with Cynthia:Email: Cynthia@HypnoBirthingCT.com Text: 203-952-7299 to RSVP to attend a free information session live on Zoom.

For those who were pregnant or trying to conceive during the pandemic, all expectations of what their life as new parents would look like shifted. Fertility treatments were paused, doctors appointments were rescheduled, and hospitals were changing protocols on who could and couldn't be in the maternity ward during labor and delivery. So much was unknown.This is the first part of a two-part series about pregnant and postpartum parents. Dr. Amanda Zelechoski talks with Dr. Ezra Aydin about the impact of the pandemic on parents, pregnancies, and infant development. We'll also hear from four parents about their journeys through fertility treatments, pregnancies, and caring for a Generation COVID newborn.

Over the many years I've worked as a childcare educator, I've seen a lot of change in how we do things and in the family unit. Being of an age where I knew life before the likes of mobile phones, computers and other devices, I'm often concerned with how they are used in this modern, fast-paced world of ours!Increasingly I'm seeing a generation of children who expect to be entertained and who are clearly lacking creative imagination. This is of course hardly surprising when so many are raised from their beginnings knowing little more than instant gratification and a dopamine hit from pressing a button or viewing content.I was thrilled this week to speak with Melissa Lowry, who has worked in the education space over many years, working with students, teachers, administrators and parents.You'll hear Melissa and I chat about the impacts of technology on infant development and there's some great tips and insights shared from Melissa's wealth of knowledge and experience. You'll hear Melissa talk about:-The importance of keeping young children off of technology and media for their first 24 months.Why it's better for sensory awareness and development to avoid using earphones which block out all sounds around them.Why when exposing them to media it is crucial to ensure that it is only active (also known as slow) media, where there's an expectation of engagement.AND much more.So go ahead, my dear mum.

Today's discussion with sisters Jenny & Carrie, the pediatric occupational therapists behind Ontrack baby and the NOEL method, is a fascinating exploration of how the way we give birth impacts infant development. In particular, when the baby does not experience the "vaginal squeeze" the infant Moro or "startle" reflex may become over-reactive, leading to more fussy babies and slower development.  Jenny & Carrie explain how vaginal birth can help infant development and answer the important question of how to best support babies born via cesarean section or have a high stress, high-intervention birth. They share the number one thing we can do to help our babies development and give us their take on swaddling, SIDS, and stomach sleeping for infants.  Ontrack Baby* * * * * * * * * *Connect with us on Instagram @DownToBirthShow, where we post new information daily related to pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.

Today's guest has been on our wish list for a while and she DID NOT disappoint! Lindsey Laurain, the founder and creator of EZPZ fun is on today and she opens up to us about so many things -- building the brand and beyond! For those that don't know (if there are any, ha), ezpz creates innovative, developmentally-focused products that make mealtime less about mess and more about fun. Lindsey's story starts like so many mom founders; she had a problem and there wasn't a solution in the market, so she MADE IT! After years in the corporate world, she took the leap to find a solution to the constant mess she found around her during meal times with her little boys. Lindsey gets into the nitty gritty details of creating a product, including numerous copy cats (some that led to legal action) as well as how she found her manufacturing partners. She also tells me how she brought on her best friends from childhood to join her team -- and how they are still friends and working together! We finish with her diving into the insane trajectory of the company and how they have maintained their brand vision along the way. I am so grateful that Lindsey joined us to chat today and know you will LOVE hearing about her story and the brand. Make sure to check out their AMAZING products (both functional AND adorable) on their site, and follow along on their Instagram.

Michelle and Donna Seegers Abler, Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Pregnancy & Newborn Consultant, and Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology Educator, discuss the awareness and consciousness of babies. Donna shares amazing stories from her experience with babies in NICU. Together they explore how birth can impact babies and the implications of some of the protocols and practices within the medical system. Donna provides suggestions for parents to help support their baby in the NICU. Donna also shares about her new book, "Love me In: A Sacred Pregnancy Journal" which reflects leading-edge principles from the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology. It is a beautifully written and illustrated journal that guides expecting parents inward on a conscious journey through reflection, meditation, and heart-based practices. It is intended to empower self-connection to grow and nurture a healthy womb environment, giving babies their best start."As expecting parents, we have the power to go back to our innate spiritual selves and be a part of this bringing babies in, in a more complete way." —Donna Seegers AblerNotes:"In a different paper published by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (or RCOG, the United Kingdom's equivalent of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, or ACOG), they stated that it is possible induction may decrease the risk of stillbirth in older women. Using data from the United Kingdom, the authors estimated that if all pregnant people in the U.K. age 40 and older were induced at 39 weeks instead of 41 weeks, it would prevent 17 stillbirths per year. It would take 9,350 inductions at 39 weeks to prevent one stillbirth, and 4,750 inductions at 40 weeks to prevent seven stillbirths. (RCOG, 2013)."  Evidence Based Birthhttps://evidencebasedbirth.com/advanced-maternal-age/ About Donna Seegers Abler:Donna Seegers Abler, OTR/L, PPNE, earned a BS in occupational therapy from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, WI in 1984.  She graduated from APPPAH Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology Certification Program in June 2019.  She is a prenatal and perinatal psychology educator and is a trained instructor in Calm Birth Childbirth Program.She has a background in preterm neonatal intensive care unit experience and infant development and combines years of researched-based medical background in sensory integration, reflex integration, neurodevelopment, infant massage, and Healing Touch for Babies with leading-edge prenatal and perinatal psychology,  heart rhythm meditation, and healing practices.Donna has been shaped through her own in utero experience and birth story; through consciously conceiving, carrying and miscarrying a baby; through raising three beautiful and thriving young adult daughters; through an expansive professional career; and through a rich life journey as a daughter, sister, aunt, mother, wife, soul sister, guide, teacher and friend to many. Connect with Donna Seegers Abler:Website: https://www.donnaseegersabler.com/Facebook: @Donna Seegers AblerInstagram:   @donnaseegersablerConnect with Michelle Smith:Classes with Michelle: birtheaseservices.com/birth-ease-childbirth-education, birtheasehypnobirth.com/hypnobirthing-classes-orlando-michelleFacebook:   Birth Ease,   The Birth Ease Podcast,  Birth Ease Baby Loss SupportInstagram:    @birtheasemichellesmith,  @birtheaselossssupportYouTube:    Birth EaseLinkedIn:  Birth Ease Michelle SmithWebsite:  BirthEaseServices.com  birtheasehypnobirth.com Thank you for listening!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.10.144014v1?rss=1 Authors: Smith, E. S., Crawford, T. J., Reid, V. M. Abstract: Maternal schizotypic personality is thought to influence childhood risk for mental health and is a personality dimension elevated among schizophrenia-spectrum patients and their first-degree relatives, in whom neuro-oscillatory deficits have been observed. The current study investigated whether 6-month-old infants ( n =46), and a subset of their biological mothers ( n =34), who identified as either schizotypic ( n =14) non-schizotypic ( n =14), or an intermediate group ( n =6), displayed reduced evoked-oscillatory activity. All mothers completed the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences as an index of schizotypy dimensionality. An auditory paired-tone paradigm was used to probe oscillatory activity, revealing that although the infants evoked-oscillations displayed differences between Stimulus 1 and 2 , there were no group differences between infants of schizotypic and control mothers. Their mothers, however, displayed differences, with reduced amplitudes toward Stimulus 1 in schizotypic mothers; consistent with literature on early sensory processes, showing sensory gating is impaired in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.

Sarah Gould Houde from QualityStarsNY sat down with us to talk about freedom of movement in infant caregiving and how it benefits development. Sarah explains how containing children in a bouncy seat or a swing chair, for example, can limit their ability to develop their own way to self-soothe, as well as gross motor development. Interesting perspective on allowing children to look at what they want to, to freely stretch and kick their legs and have control of their bodies.

Talk by Dr Sarah Lloyd Fox, Birkbeck College, on infant brain imaging in The Gambia

The Bayley Scales are a suite of IQ-like tests for babies and young children. They're used to assess infant development. But the latest edition of the tests, the Bayley-III, seems to produce higher test scores than its predecessor, the Bayley-II. This is causing problems for researchers like Neil Marlow who use the tests to check the effectiveness of different interventions. Neil decided to compare the two tests. He talks about the results of his study, and its implications, on this month's podcast. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
