#236: Having our babies reject food at mealtimes almost always turns into a stressful situation. The question is, should you offer your baby food and patiently wait for acceptance or demand that they eat it? To answer this question, I am joined by Marsha Dunn Klein, OTR/L, M.Ed., FAOTA, a pediatric occupational therapist who has spent over fifty years specializing in children with feeding challenges.
In this episode, Marsha discusses with us her “positive tilt” construct which is a sign of sensory permission or a way babies communicate to their parents when they are finally ready to lean towards food, open their mouths to eat and create a connection or a “yes moment” within their feeding environment.
