#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.     Get your copy of the 100 FIRST FOODS list on Katie’s free BABY-LED WEANING FOR BEGINNERS workshop: https://babyledweaning.co/workshop   Follow @babyledweanteam on IG: https://www.instagram.com/babyledweanteam/   Shownotes with all the links mentioned in this episode are here: https://blwpodcast.com/236   Learn something you liked in this episode?
