  • 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!

Ambition and Mum Guilt: The Truth About Returning to Work After Baby S9 | E220
Q: What was missing in conversations about working moms that led you to start MOMents?

From Couple to Co-Parents: The Psychological Shift Every New Dad Goes Through | S9 | E217
Q: What practical steps can help get dads more involved and keep the relationship strong in the first year?

From Couple to Co-Parents: The Psychological Shift Every New Dad Goes Through | S9 | E217
Q: Could you share a little bit about what's going on for the dad during those early periods?

Grief, Love, and the Woman You Left Behind: Meg Faure on Motherhood's Hidden Transition S8 | E216
Q: Meg, what is happening psychologically during the matrescence transition?
Meg describes a massive cognitive and hormonal shift, with the brain reorienting toward the child and the identity reconfiguring from the pre-baby self to a mother, which can feel disorienting yet transformative.
APGAR Scores, Delayed Cord Clamping and Hospital Bag Essentials with Dr Nellie Balfour S8 | E215
Q: What are the key factors checked by the pediatrician immediately after birth?
The pediatrician checks breathing, color, activity, and overall appearance, ensuring the baby is pinking up and has a good cry to show oxygenation, then proceeds with a head-to-toe examination.
