How should we look at breastfeeding in this context? The advice is that breastfeeding on demand also serves for emotional regulation, confort, pain management, attachment etc.
Doesn’t this mean the association between eating and emotional regulation is made since birth?
Thanks for this translation. I get how emotional eating plays into childhood obesity and bulimia, but how might emotional eating (or lack of eating) play into the development of anorexia, where children and teens withhold food and literally prevent themselves from eating. Your thoughts?

That’s a great question.

This is great, Cara, thank you! Goodness knows our parents never got this advice
