Have you ever felt like your baby knows what you’re feeling before you even say a word?Maybe you’ve noticed them light up when you’re feeling calm and happy — or pull away a little when you’re flat or overwhelmed. These little moments often feel invisible, but they’re doing more than we think.In this episode, Dr Renee White explores new research on how a mother’s brain and her baby’s brain can literally sync up during moments of connection. Using a tool called dual EEG, researchers were able to capture real-time brain activity between mums and babies, showing that our emotional tone can directly influence how our brains work together.This isn’t about being “on” all the time. It’s about understanding why the moments where you feel most present with your baby matter so much.You’ll hear about:What brain-to-brain connection looks like between mum and babyWhy emotional tone plays a big role in learning and developmentThe science behind eye contact, cooing and everyday connectionHow maternal wellbeing supports brain synchronyWhy it's not about perfection, but presenceWhat matters most is remembering that even on the tough days, your presence is powerful. You don’t have to perform. You don’t need to do more. You’re doing enough, and it’s making a difference.Resources & Links📲 Connect with Renee on Instagram: @fillyourcup_🌐 Learn more about Dr Renee White and explore Fill Your Cup Doula services🍪 Treat yourself with our Chocolate + Goji lactation cookiesIf you found this episode helpful, share it with a friend or tag @fillyourcup_ on Instagram.
