7:03 am
>> that was a topic at our family dinner last night, taylor's countdown. good morning, america. hope you're doing well this morning. >> they are doing good, taylor swift is coming at midnight. also ahead, the story of a taco bell manager whose split-second decision led to a life-saving moment. >> thank goodness for that. but we begin with the widespread 911 outage in at least four states last night. >> nebraska, south dakota, nevada, texas unable to call the emergency number from cell phones or land lines. pierre thomas starts us off. good morning, p.a. >> potentially thousands of americans with added stress overnight as they dialed 911 for help, when every second counts. police forces across four states reporting their 911 lines were down, including the entire state of south dakota, a county in nebraska, a police force in del rio, texas, and two departments in nevada, including las vegas. vegas residents were urged to dial 911 on a mobile device so the police would be able to see
7:04 am
the number and call you back right away. service was later restored to las vegas and south dakota, but today there will be an urgent effort to figure out why this happened and whether these are somehow connected. it is unclear how widespread the situation was. this comes as new analysis from the department of homeland security warns that fiber-optic lines supporting 911 call centers have likely become a target. but a similar outage in february appears to have been a technical glitch. much more to find out, michael. >> yeah, a lot more to find out on that, pierre. thank you so much. we turn now to severe weather on the move. millions are bracing for a new round of storms, 27 reported tornadoes in seven states in just three days. ginger is tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> remember how we talked about how ohio was leading in tornadoes this year so far? they did get likely another one, and many others coming through. the last three days, we have had more than 350 severe storm reports including damaging winds in excess of 60 miles per hour,
7:05 am
hail, where all the green dots are, and the red dots for tornadoes. so it's been a busy couple days and we're not done yet. this is the damage from likely tornado, which they will get out and survey in northeastern ohio, and damage outside of detroit, the northern suburb of ferndale. this was likely straight-line winds, but can still do so much damage. it doesn't matter if you get damaging winds or tornadoes on the weaker end of the scale. they are similar in what they look like afterward. today the highest tornado threat includes st. louis, much of missouri, western kentucky, tennessee, and southern illinois, also evansville, indiana, but all the way down to dallas and fort worth. this afternoon they will get damaging wind threat. we are watching it in many parts of the country. >> we turn now to the latest on donald trump's criminal trial. jury selection set to resume this morning and is proceeding quickly. aaron katersky is at the courthouse in downtown manhattan. good morning, aaron. >> one of the jurors who had already been seated was just excused. she said she slept on it overnight and felt she could no longer be fair and impartial
7:06 am
because she had concerns about serving on this jury. the judge excused her without objection from the lawyers, so now we are down to six sworn in jurors, and six more will need to be seated, along with six alternates for testimony can begin. also today, prosecutors have complained that former president trump has violated the gag order against attacking witnesses in this case seven more times since they already complained he had been in violation of the gag order. so it is making court off to a bit of a rocky start before jury selection begins a new, with a new batch of prospective jurors called into start answering questions about whether they have strong views of trump that would inhibit them from being fair, about whether they had ever been to a trump rally, or a rally against the former president. right now the former president is in court listening to all of this, and we are waiting for the
7:07 am
judge to decide, george. >> dan abrams and rachel scott from capitol hill this morning. let me begin with you. this jury selection seems to be going more quickly than a lot of people thought. >> it is definitely moving quickly, but, remember, it is about to get a little slower. why? because, once they are out of their peremptory challenges, once each side can no longer just dismiss a juror for any reason apart from race, then the fights start over whether and why jurors should be dismissed. it is called "for cause." they can still fight over jurors right now for cause, but when you have got no more challenges left, the for cause fights become a little more vicious, and i expect to see that as this jury selection process continues. >> and, rachel, this timing has cross purposes for donald trump. >> exactly. legally, the former president has tried to delay, delay, delay. politically, he has to get back on the campaign trail. every single day he's inside that courthouse is a day he's not making his case to the
7:08 am
american people. he can come out and say this is all a witch hunt, and that might rev up his base, but is it really appealing to the independent voters, the republicans who are not sold on the former president, that he needs to win over in order to clinch the white house? that is something his campaign is very concerned about. president biden has had four campaign stops already this week. donald trump has to wait until saturday until he gets to north carolina. >> opening statements could come as early as monday. it's possible. what will we learn about the strength of the case? >> i don't know that we will learn a ton about the case. this is a rare case where just about everything has been litigated in the court of public opinion. but there are legal arguments. what is the legal theory, exactly, of the d.a. here that got it to the level of a felony? that's one thing i'm very interested in. and, from the defense perspective, are they going to come out and say it is not true that he had sex with stormy daniels? i don't think they're going to actually say that. but how detailed the defense
7:09 am
gets is also going to be something i'll be looking for. >> in the meantime, rachel, on capitol hill, the president has endorsed speaker mike johnson but he's facing a threat this weekend. >> this move he's pushing forward to take that $95 billion package passed in the senate, separate that into four separate bills, it could cost him his job. he was asked very directly about this yesterday, why he believes it is worth risking his job over providing additional aid to ukraine. he says it's because it's the right thing to do. so it's unclear when they can move forward. but if he loses one more republican, we could have no speaker of the house, thrust into chaos yet again, george. >> rachel, dan, thanks very much. michael? >> now to boeing fighting back this morning after a whistle-blower testified on capitol hill about safety concerns at the company. transportation correspondent gio benitez joins us with more. >> that whistle-blower made some alarming allegations, but this morning boeing is pushing back
7:10 am
in a way we haven't seen before, even releasing video from some of its testing. take a look at this. overnight, boeing releasing rare video from what it calls fatigue testing. boeing intentionally and repeatedly damaging a panel used for the 787 dreamliner to show its strength, as the company fiercely fights back following a whistle-blower's testimony on capitol hill. >> i am here today because i felt that i must come forward. >> long-time boeing engineer sam salehpour testifying that 787s are at risk of falling apart from extensive use because he says there are gaps in the fuselage. >> i found gaps exceeding the specifications that were not properly addressed 98.7% of the time. >> after raising concerns, salehpour says he was moved to the 777 program, though he claims he saw employees jumping on the pieces of the airplane to force them to align. >> i called it the tarzan effect. i raised concerns internally. i was sidelined. i was told to shut up. i received physical threats. >> salehpour did not present
7:11 am
evidence of his claims, but boeing telling abc news overnight that retaliation is strictly prohibited at boeing and that, "we have painstakingly inspected and reworked airplanes and improved production quality. we are fully confident in the safety and durability of the 787 dreamliner." on the 777, boeing calls it the most successful wide-body airplane family in aviation history. >> boeing has been pushing back hard against these claims, saying these aircrafts are safe. do you believe them? >> the aircraft as a whole may be safe insofar as people getting on planes shouldn't panic. but they need to be made fully safe. >> and i asked the senator if he had seen any documented evidence of the whistle-blower's claims. he says he has seen a lot of it. now the senators are asking for more whistle-blowers to come forward. rebecca? >> and we know you will continue to stay on it. okay, gio. thank you. we turn now to the abortion rights showdown in arizona. republicans in the state legislature once again blocked a
7:12 am
democratic effort to repeal the civil war era law that virtually bans abortion in the state. elizabeth schulze is in phoenix. good morning, elizabeth. >> good morning, rebecca. this is the second time that arizona's legislature has failed to repeal that civil war era abortion ban after it was reinstated last week by the state supreme court. >> this morning, arizona republican lawmakers defiant, refusing to repeal a 160-year-old law banning nearly all abortions in the state. >> legislatures are not built for knee-jerk reactions. >> all but one republican in the statehouse declining to join democrats to fast-track legislation that would roll back the law. >> we have a lot of time to work on this issue. >> state senators are now trying to move forward with their own bill to repeal it, but that process could take weeks. >> this is a stain on our history that this ban even exists. from a time when the age of consent was 10, from a time when women didn't have the right to
7:13 am
vote. >> the law prohibits abortion in every instance except one, to save the life of a mother. if no repeal is passed, the band could take effect as soon as june. >> effectively, our ability to provide abortion care goes away. so, if this law stands, you can no longer provide abortions here. >> that is correct. >> at her clinic in phoenix, telling patients they might not be able to get the care they need. >> we are having conversations to let them know that we are going week by week, because there will come a time when we will have to stop. >> the house and the senate here are not expected to meet again until next wednesday. michael? >> elizabeth, thank you so much for that. we turn now to the gambling scandal rocking the nba. toronto raptors player jontay porter has been banned for life after an investigation concluded he bet on basketball. whit johnson is here with the latest. good morning, whit. >> hey, michael. good morning to you. nba players are specifically
7:14 am
prohibited from gambling on league games or anything connected to the nba. jontay porter is now facing a range of allegations from disclosing personal information to bettors to limiting his own participation in games to influence bets. this morning, the nba banning jontay porter of the toronto raptors for life. the 24-year-old's professional basketball career derailed for violating the league's rules on sports betting. an investigation concluded he allegedly placed at least 13 bets on nba games under an associate's account, ranging from $15 to $22,000, totaling more than $54,000. >> this will have a definite impact on the gaming market and what is offered from sports books on the nba. >> porter is also accused of betting against his own team, and disclosing private information about his health status to someone placing bets on his game stats, and then even leaving a game early, citing illness. the nba commissioner releasing a
7:15 am
statement, saying in part, "there is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of nba competition, which is why jontay porter's blatant violations are game rules are being met with the most severe punishment." >> bet on anything in florida! >> just last year alone, sports betting in this country passing the $100 billion mark, with easy-to-use apps and celebrity endorsements helping to fuel its popularity. >> since we had the visibility of those bets that were placed on these games that porter was involved in, it was able to identify them and come to this investigation pretty quickly. >> and the nba says the investigation into porter is not over, and they are sharing information with federal authorities, guys. >> what a story, thanks very much. now to the drive-through rescue by a taco bell manager in pennsylvania who jumped into action to save the baby struggling to breathe. morgan norwood has the story. >> good morning, george. imagine you're at a drive through and your baby stops
7:16 am
breathing. what would you do? fortunately, a taco bell employee knew the answer to that question in that heart pounding rescue all caught on camera. >> it's a fast food franchise known for thinking outside the bun. >> with the new monterey chicken quesadilla, think outside the bun. >> this morning, the franchise is living up to its tagline thanks to a taco bell manager whose split-second decision led to a life-saving moment. >> i pulled him out and he turned completely blue and was lifeless. >> natasha long was going through the drive-through with her 11-month-old son, miles, when she realized he was struggling to breathe. >> at that point i just completely blacked out. i didn't know what to do. >> enter taco bell manager becky arbaugh to the rescue. >> i threw my headset and i ran outside, so i took the baby and started to do chest compressions on the baby, and he finally started to breathe. >> baby miles was rushed to a local hospital for treatment where his mom reports he is doing well. all of this, as doctors try to figure out what caused his condition. the next day, long called taco bell to thank arbaugh for saving her son's life.
7:17 am
>> we couldn't be more grateful to becky. she saved my son's life. >> i just thought of myself as a mom with another mom that needed help. >> ugh, just chilling video. long and arbaugh said that they have been in close contact every day, with arbaugh even offering to sit in the hospital with baby miles so his parents can get more time to themselves. both said it was the beginning of a bond that they say will withstand the test of time. so glad baby miles is doing well. but it just hammers home the importance of cpr and knowing what to do in those situations. >> it's incredible. >> and moms helping moms. love to see that, too, from a becky. >> thank you, morgan. coming up, lawyers for the suspect in the idaho student murders outline his alibi. how they claim they can prove he was nowhere near the scene of the crime. dan abrams back to break that down. >> plus, olympic champion simone biles sharing new details of her mental health struggles,
7:18 am
why she says it was like fighting demons. >> and why red lobster might be in trouble, considering filing for bankruptcy. but first, we go back to ginger. ginger, you've got these tornadoes everywhere, all these severe weather threats still. >> still, and a lot of that is being fueled by heat. i know there's a debate, people don't like "hotlanta," but it is going to live up to its name. we will just do atlanta -- atlanta will be quite warm today. much above average and could even tie or break a record. the record for today is 87. if they go above that, they would be breaking it. but a lot of folks from texas up through the south and even into the ohio river valley are 10-15 degrees above average. so that heat is going to really hone in on florida. you had a nice weekend last weekend with less humidity. samantha, our producer up there, was enjoying it. but look at this, the temperatures could go to 90 and break records in tampa, tallahassee could break the record, orlando will end up in 94 territory. so that's gonna be a steamy one if you're going to the parks. and right in the middle of the

7:33 am
scene at the time of the murders. >> all rise. >> last august, kohberger's lawyers claimed in a court filing the suspected murderer was instead driving around alone, as he often did, when the murders were committed in november of 2022. the judge requesting kohberger's lawyers provide specific details, like names and addresses about his alibi, that could be corroborated. the finding claims he was driving in the opposite direction of the king road home to hike and run, and/or see the moon and stars, something he did on several occasions, and that his cell phone contained numerous photographs taken on several late evenings and early mornings, including in november, depicting the night sky. authorities say kaylee goncalves, madison mogen, xana kernodle, and ethan chapin were killed between 4:00 and 4:20 a.m. on november 13th in their off-campus home. experts say that, while cell phone records can estimate where a person is, it is
7:34 am
difficult to pinpoint someone's exact location, especially in rural or remote areas. >> i can tell you with scientific certainty from his cell phone records if he was connected to the moscow cell tower or the pullman cell tower, but i can't pinpoint him. >> authorities also say, for a two-hour period his phone stopped reporting to the network entirely, which is consistent with the phone being out of service or in airplane mode. >> his lawyers also say he is an avid runner and hiker, and because the school year got busy, those hikes turned into nighttime drives in the countryside. the next time he'll be back in court is next month for a change of venue hearing. guys? >> kayna, thanks. dan abrams is back. is cell phone data strong? >> it can be. it's used in a lot of cases now. but remember, prosecutors here
7:35 am
also want to use cell phone data to show he was at the home or near the home and that he had been there multiple times before. here's the difference. prosecutors are linking up the phone with video of the car which matched bryan kohberger. we haven't even talked about the dna evidence yet. but when you talk about even just those two pieces of evidence, cell phone in conjunction with surveillance video of what they believe is his car, together prosecutors believe they have a strong case. but, as you can tell, when it comes to cell phone evidence, there can be different interpretations and different experts can make different assessments, and that's what it seems we're going to see here. >> can you think of another case where cell phone data was such a critical part? >> there are a number of cases i've seen where cell phone evidence becomes critical, but it tends to be supporting evidence. because there is ambiguity around it, because there's a lack of certainty as to exactly where someone is, it is typically used to support a case and not to say, "see? this proves the entirety of our case."
7:36 am
>> and how about that dna evidence? >> it's going to be critical. they will have to make another argument as to why his dna was found on a sheath on the knife at the scene. so they've got a challenge for them. the reason they're laying out the alibi now is because, under idaho law, they actually have to present the alibi defense at this point in the case. under idaho law, if you're going to say "i was somewhere else," you actually have to lay it out before the case starts. for some of the other pieces of the defense, we may learn that as the case moves on. >> but if the dna is there on the knife -- >> look, there's a lot of evidence in this case, all right? let's be really clear: if the dna is there, they will either challenge the way the dna was done, they may say it was planted. who knows? >> thank you as always, my friend. coming up next, simone biles speaking about the olympics and her mental health like never before. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ >> tech: cracked windshield? schedule with safelite, and we'll come to you to fix it. >> tech vo: this customer was enjoying her morning walk.

7:42 am

8:13 am
president john f. kennedy's grandson, calls it an embarrassment. >> i know him. i have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president. >> i am concerned that voting for bobby is going to take votes away from biden and lead to a trump election. >> but the 70-year-old says he has many relatives, including his daughter-in-law who runs his campaign, that support his candidacy. >> i come from a family, from a milieu where we came home at night and ate dinner with my father and he would orchestrate debates between us. the same way his father did with him. and we could disagree on issues, and we could disagree with passion and information, but we still love each other. >> and kerry kennedy joins us this morning from philadelphia where she and her family members will be appearing for president biden. thanks for joining us. why do you think your brother's run is dangerous? >> well, i think this is the

this race -- donald trump is an existential threat to our country and to our world. he is abandoning ukraine. he is harmful to lgbtq rights. he doesn't believe that you should be able to love who you love. he has abused women in the most egregious ways, as we all know. he has overturned roe v. wade. he's packed the supreme court. as i said, he wants to be a dictator on day one. what else do we need to know about him? as opposed to joe biden, who cares about women, who has fought his whole life for women and to stop violence against women. this is the man who we all need to vote for. >> kerry kennedy, thanks for your time this morning. michael? >> thank you, george. now to the diagnosis for the best-selling author of the "shopaholic" series.

8:19 am
brain tumor in adults. while it can develop at any time of life, 70% of cases occur in people ages 45-70. >> what is so scary about glioblastoma is that it can happen to absolutely anyone, and most of the time we don't know why it's happened. >> kinsella's laugh-out-loud romances and relatable leading ladies defining the romantic comedy movement. >> declined. >> can you try again? >> really declined. >> her first two novels were adapted into the film "confessions of a shopaholic." and while she says she is stable right now, kinsella opening up about the importance of support, writing in her post, "it can feel very lonely and scary to have a tough diagnosis, and the supporting care of those around you means more than words can say." >> not only is it completely isolating to suddenly have your life put on hold, but also a brain cancer changes the way you interact in the world.
8:20 am
we are learning more and more every day about the genetics that underlie these tumors and the most effective treatments for them. so i'm hopeful that, in the coming years, we will be making some strides. >> speaking of treatments, kinsella says she has undergone surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, which she says is still ongoing, and we are wishing her well as she continues her treatment journey. guys? >> we definitely wish her well and thank her for sharing that. hopefully she will help someone else out there. thank you for that, morgan. let's go to ginger. >> as we talk about these tornadoes, i think it's helpful to put into context, april is the third busiest month of the year for the united states to get tornadoes. we are doing it. at least 27 reported in the last three days, one of them in northeastern ohio, which puts ohio at 39 for the season so far. leading the country. also, damaging wind can do just as much damage. ferndale, michigan, north of detroit, they were seeing 60 or 70 plus mile-per-hour winds.

goodmorningamerica.com. welcome, so happy to see you! i love talking fashion with you, and i want to talk about a trend that, well, i wouldn't have thought we could pull it off. i love a cargo, but i have not thought about crochet. and you said "yeah, way." >> yes, way. women ask me all the time. if i rocked these trends once back in the day, can i do it now? obviously you can. we did a crochet top. the thing is, you don't have to literal like we did it, a huge amount of crochet or see-through crochet. choose a cropped, classic piece with the trendy vibe, and take a look at those cargos. >> they are really cute. >> walmart, under $20. and they don't add a lot of bulk, because the old cargos were very utilitarian and thick and heavy fabric. now they are slinky and they drape and they look cool. we tossed a little jacket over the shoulder. old navy. >> you sure did. work it. >> and anthropologie, that is an

8:36 am
>> i like how it's a little off-kilter. and a little tee underneath it in the same color, and it goes together. >> women don't think you can wear a crop, but you can with a layer. you don't have to show your skin. you get that look, you take it over to the side, because anytime we go asymmetrical, what do we get? a nice whittled waist. >> i like a whittled waist! and a little sexy slit, i see what you're doing there. i'm onto you, wynettka! >> you like those? those are from zappos. pick those up for them to see, honey. you can see that little kitten heel. she can wear it with jeans or a skirt or these pants. >> i wear those all the time. great look. great, great ideas. we are older and we are bolder. yeah, i said it. coming up, everybody. andrew jarecki -- ladies, come on out. one more look. the director of the award-winning series, "the jinx," andrew jarecki is

8:38 am
8:39 am
♪ >> i'm here now with award-winning director andrew jarecki. he's back with "the jinx part two," picking up where they left off nearly ten years ago, after unraveling the unsolved criminal case involving real estate tycoon robert durst. welcome back. i can't believe it's been ten years, because i can still remember the moment when you showed me the final scene of the
8:40 am
first season, where robert durst, on a hot mic in a bathroom, basically admits to killing three people. it's the most shocking and probably the most satisfying ending to a documentary ever. so how do you top it in season two? >> first of all, you were the first person other than the filmmaking team who ever saw that. i actually needed a journalist who i could trust. it wasn't a deal you could make. i just said, i can show this to you, and you would know not to talk about it. because if somebody had talked about it, he would have gone on the run. so it was a very nerve-racking time. this season obviously is quite different. it's about something different, in a way. so it's not going to have that surprise, but it has a lot of other surprises. >> what is the heart of the season? >> we always said when we were making the film the first time, when we were making the first "jinx," we would say, how do you kill three people over 30 years
8:41 am
and get away with it? it takes a village. who are these people? if you pull the camera back, who were there for bob over all these years, and helped in one way or another, even if they saw themselves as good, decent people? somehow they were drawn into a number of murders. so, for us, this season is very much about complicity. it's about who participates, whether they know it, they don't know it, they think they know it. that was a theme that's been very much on my mind, just in terms of what's going on in the world. >> i'll bet. let's take a look at a clip. >> and there begins this conversation that sounds almost like a plea bargain. >> you know, it's like i said before. this is all voluntary. >> no, i hear you, and i have no problem with what you're saying. >> okay. >> what's going through my mind is, if i tell you what i know, that answers your questions, what can you possibly do for me? >> okay. >> incredible jailhouse tape
8:42 am
right there. you also had pretty remarkable cooperation from law enforcement here. >> yeah, what is interesting about this part two, also -- part one, everybody wanted to participate. bob durst called me, because he knew that i had made a film about him, and he wanted to see the film. ryan gosling plays him in the film, i think he was flattered, and he loved the idea of being able to tell his story. this part two is very different. almost nobody wants to be in this part two. there is a level of accountability, and there are questions that get asked, and law enforcement obviously was a big part of that. >> you came close to talking to robert durst again? >> i did. you know, i felt responsible. i don't want to say i felt bad, exactly, but i felt responsible. i had gotten to know this man very well, and suddenly the film that i had made had caused him to be incarcerated and ultimately to be brought to trial. so i went to visit him, because he was in jail in new orleans,
8:43 am
and i went down there with my daughter to go to the jazz fest, and i thought, this is probably when i've got to go out to the st. charles parish jail and try to see him. and i did see him for a minute. he was coming in a van, because he had been at a medical appointment, and the woman said to me, "oh, he's out." and i said, "wait, he's out? you can go out?" which made me very nervous. and she said, "he's coming in soon." when i saw him, he came out of this van with these two corrections officers, he had leg irons on an handcuffs on, and he looked at me through the gate and i looked at him, and he sort of moved on. i went back and i said, "he's back, is it possible for me to see him?" she called and said he declined the visit. >> [laughs] not shocking right there. could you ever have imagined you would spend 20 years of your life, a feature film, two documentaries, with robert durst? >> not at all. it was a total surprise, but it
8:44 am
is such a human story. the story, it is not this one-dimensional murder story. it is really a story of all the people around him, also. and that drew me in, because it is such a deep dive into human behavior and how people get wrapped up in something like this. and we are seeing that every day in the culture now. we are seeing people who say, "i don't know how that happened. i was climbing on the capitol building, but two weeks before that i was a soccer mom." there is the spellbinding quality you see in bob. he has this hypnotic voice, he's a very dominant person, and he brings people into bad behavior who never imagined that they would have been involved in that kind of thing before. >> an allegory for our times. andrew jarecki, thank you for coming in. "the jinx part two" debuts this sunday 10pm eastern on hbo. let's go to ginger. >> we have been super stoked for the beginning of the year. philadelphia, for example, the top five wettest starts to the year on record. a lot of other cities have that

>> we are back now with our parenting playbook. for a look at the first years, everything from milestones to dessert at breakfast. pediatrician dr. edith bracho-sanchez, registered dietitian malina malkani, and psychiatrist dr. judith joseph are here to answer your
8:48 am
questions. >> welcome, ladies. so good to see all of you. i am in this zone. this is the zone i live inside. >> i'm out of this zone. >> a lot of our viewers are also in the zone, and have a first up question. it's a video question for you, dr. edith, from a mom struggling with breastfeeding. let's take a look. >> i've been breastfeeding for months, and i'm exhausted. when can i stop and move on to regular milk? >> i understand this, yes. >> yes, don't you want to just take that little baby, play with them for a little bit and that this mom take a nap? i would say, listen, breastfeeding is really, really hard. it is exhausting. you really need a village. the first thing i would do if this mom came to see me was to say, what can people around you do so you can get a little rest and meet whatever your goals are? the official recommendation from the american academy of pediatrics is to breastfeed for two years or longer, as long as it is mutually desired by the mom and the baby. you exclusively breastfeed the first six months or so, then introduce solids. if you make it to a year, you
8:49 am
transition to whole milk between that year and two years. ideally from a cup, no longer a bottle. if you didn't quite make it to a year, again, the mutual desire is really important. then you are transitioning to formula, but again, at one year we want to transition to cups to protect those teeth and limit the milk to two cups per day so you don't interfere with the absorption of other important nutrients. >> such an important point. i also know i completely struggled with this. it's an emotional thing, you know what you're supposed to do, but it's really hard at times to make that work. we really struggled with that with isabel, my first child. there's also this question, we've been talking about it this morning, about dessert for breakfast. this really buzzy tiktok with a mom giving her kid dessert for breakfast. what do we think of this? >> i actually end up using this strategy lot in my private practice, believe it or
8:50 am
not, and it has positive effects for some families. particularly families who find mealtimes turn into these battlegrounds over dessert, and families who find their kids are really focused on sugar, hiding sweets and treats and sneaking them. personally, i like to use this strategy more for dinner than desert, because a lot of dessert foods tend to be on the sweeter side. when we offer dessert with the meal, it has the potential over time -- and it can take some time to get there, but it helps neutralize the idea that dessert needs to be earned by enduring the broccoli, or the eggs, or whatever other less desirable healthier foods we are serving. it also eliminates the back and forth about requiring that your child take x number of bites of xyz, broccoli or whatever it is, and it gives us this really great way to approach sweets as just another food that we can
8:51 am
fold into the context of a balanced diet without restriction. and it is that restriction that is often driving the sugar fixation. so, if the goal here overall is to raise kids who are listening to their bodies, eating intuitively, enjoying a lifelong healthy relationship with both food and their bodies, this can be a really effective strategy for some families. >> give them one m&m. [laughter] >> one?! i'm glad you're not my mom! [laughter] dr. judith, this is another viewer question about feeling like a bad parent when your kids don't hit those milestones. check it out. >> what do you do if you have a kid who's a late talker? i see some of my friends with kids talking already, and it's making me feel like a bad parent. am i doing something wrong? >> dr. edith, what are the big milestones to watch for, and when should you ask for help? >> so, this is important.
8:52 am
in my practice, i help parents to separate the noise from the knowledge. the noise are family members trying to be helpful when they lovingly remind you that your kid is slower than you were at their age, or another child is faster. this is the noise. this can be frustrating and confusing for you. they are trying to be helpful but they are not experts. the knowledge are the pediatricians, the developmental specialists who use guidelines set forth by the american pediatric association to tell you when your child should be reaching certain milestones. but, remember, these are guidelines, so there will be kids who are faster and a bit slower. as long as the experts aren't overly concerned, you are probably okay. and just remember that there is a window of opportunity from months zero to 36 where a program called early intervention can be implemented to support your child to get on track and stay on track. >> what are some of those really big milestones you want to see them hit? >> i'm happy to chime in.
8:53 am
as a pediatrician, this is what i do, and i love doing. but you definitely can find all the milestones online. it is really, really easy. there is really good information from the cdc, american academy of pediatrics, and generally at around two months kid should be starting to look at you, starting to smile. around four months, starting to roll. six months, they're starting to sit up. nine months, that stranger anxiety kicks in. they realize, you are my mom, you are not my mom. [laughter] and this is not oka and by one year, they start to walk, they start to stand up. again, be informed, look for those guidelines online, the milestones online, but do not stress yourself out. we are seeing you so much, as pediatricians, in the first year of life. bring it up if you are worried. don't let it stress you out. just like breastfeeding, don't let it stress you out. you're a good parent. let's just get information and keep it going. >> thank you all for that information. it is important information. talk, ask your pediatrician, ask
8:54 am
your psychiatrist, ask whoever you can ask for help. you've all helped a lot of people out there this morning. more than one m&m, okay? [laughter] you guys stay right there. we'll be right there. one m&m?!
