In this special episode organised and funded by Sanofi, I chat to not one but two guests – first up is Ben Anderson who is dad of five under nine, entrepreneur and can be found online as The Diary of a Dad and on his podcast of the same name. We chat about life with a large brood of kids, how he and his wife Sophie juggle running their business with family life and how unapologetic he is about them having three nannies to help them do it.

Then we are joined by Dr Shireen, GP and mum of one, who we talk to about infant RSV - Respiratory syncytial virus – which is a very common and contagious virus which affects 90% of infants by the age of two. But it’s something many parents aren’t aware of, so Dr Shireen tells Ben and I about the symptoms and how to treat it if your child catches RSV.

Find out more about RSV at www.togetheragainstRSV.com and you can follow Dr Shireen (@doctorshireen) on Instagram. Ben can be found on Instagram and his podcast The Diary Of A Dad can be listened to on all podcast platforms.   If you enjoyed this episode then please leave a rating or review - and you can follow the podcast to ensure you don’t miss future episodes.  Thank you!   Not Another Mummy Podcast is brought to you by me, journalist and author Alison Perry.
