  • This series has been a life saver !

    I started listening to this podcast when my baby was 5 weeks old and it’s been so great to follow along and get much needed tips - It has been a companion to my late night feeds to put on an episode and just relax and listen to sensible advice and insights; and know that what’s happening with my baby week by week is normal ! Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 172 - Cruising into the First Birthday: An 11-Month Guide to Milestones & Motherhood
Q: What happens after 12 months with feeding and milk?
We discuss moving away from formula, introducing cow's milk, and gradually dropping mid-morning and mid-afternoon milks while keeping the morning and evening feeds as long as the child wants them, supplemented by solid foods like yogurt and cheese.
Nina & Josh: The 16-Week Update on Rolling, Regressions & Self-Soothing
Q: What can parents do to support sleep without making it worse during a regression?
Recommend separating sleep from feeding, creating a consistent sleep routine, and trying a gentle sleep training approach that doesn't involve crying it out; aim for a few nights of steady soothing and gradual reduction of support to allow self-regulation to develop.
Nina & Josh: The 16-Week Update on Rolling, Regressions & Self-Soothing
Q: How are you balancing rolling milestones with other developmental changes at this stage?
The discussion emphasizes that rolling milestones can be variable and work in tandem with other skills; early log rolling may give way to more deliberate, segmental rolling as the child strengthens core muscles, with parents encouraged to provide tummy time and floor play to support progression.
Episode 174 - Tasha Perreard's Top 5 Tips for a Confident Start to Breastfeeding
Q: Question five. Is 'breast is best' always true?
No, the phrase is not universally true and circumstances matter; feeding choices can vary by family and situation.
Episode 174 - Tasha Perreard's Top 5 Tips for a Confident Start to Breastfeeding
Q: Question four. Can you bond just as deeply with your baby if you bottle feed?
Yes, bonding is possible and not solely dependent on breastfeeding.
