Most parents will remember (or not remember) the first week with a newborn being a total blur, especially when it's your first baby and you have no idea what you're doing.

In this episode we interview the amazing Lauren who works on the maternity ward at a busy private hospital in Sydney. Lauren looks after newborns as well as new Mums and Dads in their first week of parenting and has a wealth of knowledge on what to expect during this crazy time.

In this episode we discuss newborn health, things to look out for in your baby, hormonal changes in Mum, post baby blues, aftercare for both vaginal and c section births and how your partner can be most supportive during this time.

This podcast is for parents, soon to be parents, wanting to be parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, cats, dogs and anyone else who cares to listen.

We don't know what we're doing but let's work it out together - come and join our village!
