As a first time parent of a four week old I have been delighted to stumble across this podcast at exactly the right time. I have been avoiding social media and Google in general because I wouldn’t know what to believe - so to hear directly from experts who give clear, reassuring and at times countercultural advice is much, much appreciated!
Apple Podcasts5SaafefrlUnited Kingdoma month ago - 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.
