  • 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!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
APGAR Scores, Delayed Cord Clamping and Hospital Bag Essentials with Dr Nellie Balfour S8 | E215
Q: Does the pediatrician typically handle the APGAR score at cesarean births, or is it the nurse?
APGAR scoring is performed by the pediatrician during cesarean births, whereas in natural deliveries the nurse typically handles the scoring.
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.
