- Brilliant resource!
I really wish I’d had this podcast when my kids were babies. This is such a beautiful resource with some actual true experts busting myths and helping exhausted parents cut through the BS based on actual research. Highly recommend. Best advice ever: your child should teach you how you need to parent- because each child has different needs. As the parent of two older kids I cannot stress how true that has been for me. Thanks Greg.

Netherlandsa month ago - GREAT PODCASTS
As a former midwife and breastfeeding counsellor, your podcasts—supported by qualified professionals—are incredibly informative and helpful for new parents. With so much confusing information available, and advice often coming from non-professionals, it can be very stressful—especially for those who want to care for their newborn independently without the support of extended family. Your work provides much-needed clarity and reassurance.
