In today’s episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, we’re throwing out the overwhelm and getting back to the heart of what your newborn actually needs: you. Host Katie sits down with neonatologist, lactation consultant, and author Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie to talk about The Baby Bonding Book—a science-backed, judgment-free guide to connecting with your baby in the most important ways.
We cover:
Why emotional bonding is more powerful than any baby gadget
How delivery choices and early routines affect attachment
What to do if you don’t feel that instant connection
Everyday moments that help build long-term emotional security
How to quiet the noise and tune into your instincts
The #1 thing new parents actually need to focus on
Dr. Parga-Belinkie’s advice is warm, real, and backed by science—perfect for moms who are tired of being told they’re doing it wrong. Whether you’re in the thick of newborn life or just prepping for it, this episode is a breath of fresh air.
