In this episode of 'Mothering from Within,' host Kaili Ets dives into the intricate relationship between primitive reflexes, movement, and nervous system regulation in babies. Kaili explains how retained reflexes can affect your baby's sensory processing and overall comfort. She highlights the importance of natural movements, such as rocking and floor play, in helping babies integrate these reflexes for better regulation. The episode also touches on how bodywork can aid in this process by removing physical barriers. Kaili encourages parents to support their babies through gentle, intentional movements and provides insights into how to read and respond to their babies' needs. For those interested in a deeper dive, Kaili offers a free webinar and mentions her upcoming comprehensive program, the Holistic Baby Flow Method.
