All parents are liars. And what they lie about most is sleep. How much they get, how much the baby gets, how the much their partner gets. Yes, it's the contest of who has the most and who has the least.
Snuggle down and tuck yourself in, this episode of Year One is all about sleep. Hosts Holly Wainwright, Christie Hayes and the Year One team of in-house experts will weigh in on questions like: How important is routine? Can you wing it? Should you bundle up your baby like a burrito or put it in a bag? Plus we get advice on co-sleeping from Midwife Cath.

3. Getting Sleep Sorted

So, you've had a baby. Your life will never be the same. Your boobs will never be the same.  And you're probably thinking, "How do I do this?" Welcome to Year One, the podcast that will get you through the first year of your baby's life, unscathed. Hosts Christie Hayes and Holly Wainwright have four kids under seven between them. Together with Mamamia's  in-house-dream team of experts, they will take you from the moment the baby pops out to blowing out the candles on their first birthday cake. It's honest, practical and hilarious advice about everything from breastfeeding to milestones, in a judgement free environment. 
Year One, it's like mother's group on demand.

Kids & Family

Congratulations. You made it. Pop the cork, pour a glass of bubbly...(well, maybe not if you’re still breastfeeding) and pass the cake. It's time to marvel at how things have changed. We check in with our in-house paediatrician to go over baby's milestones, and discuss what to expect when you're living with a toddler. And if you've closed up shop, and you're in the "one and done" crowd, we discuss being an only child. But if you want to go around again, we talk planning for siblings, how to go about it, and introducing baby number two.

12. Light The Candles. You Made It

Grab the baby wipes and get ready to scrub the spit off your shirt. This episode is all about going back to work. PAID work, we mean. What happens if you're on maternity leave and you want to go back to work early? What if you NEVER want to go back? Is there something in between? Plus, if you haven’t got child care organised, is it too late? Will you have to take your baby to work and keep it in a basket under your desk?

11. The Work Question

Life with a new baby can mean all your attention gets focused on just one thing; them. But researchers have found that relationship satisfaction can plummet after the birth of a baby. So, how can we nurture not just the baby but your relationship? How can you keep the old love alive when all your time and brain space is going into the love for your new one? This episode is all about your relationships in this first year. From your partner to your mother's group, the in-laws, parents and siblings, from friends who have kids and those who don't, we'll help you negotiate the change, and overcome the hurdles.

10. Everyone's An Expert

Do you look in the mirror and not even recognise yourself anymore? Miss adult conversation? Wonder if you will ever be the same person again? It's OK. The loss of identity feeling you have is normal. But, we’re going to talk about getting help with it. Also, if your social life has been depleted, we tackle how to get out of the house, find your community, and reclaim those adult conversations, without the separation anxiety. And how do you deal with family if you’re only just managing to keep it together? We have the strategies to help.

9. Remember You?

You might be a MasterChef in the kitchen, cooking up the latest in kale, pork belly or truffles but your baby won’t care. They're all about mush. Tasteless and nutritional mush. 
This episode is all about starting solids. How can you recognise allergies? What's the best fix for fussy eaters? How can you introduce different flavours, and when? Is there a trick to getting less food on the floor, and more in their gob? And if you're thinking you should just let them eat nude and hose them down after, you're not alone.
