How reading books supports your baby's development - With Louise Grosart, Ladybird 

This week I am joined by Louise Grosart, Ladybird Publisher to discuss how we can use books to help our babies develop. If you are anything like me then supporting your little people to meet milestones and learn to communicate and enjoy the surrounding world is a priority and maybe you even spend as much time as me researching how to achieve this. This week’s guest has got an amazing solution for us and lies within the pages of the often-underestimated world of books.

Postpartum Contraception

Dr Helen Lawal

Your baby is in your arms and the amazing, manic whirlwind that is motherhood has begun. It is unlikely that sex is the top of your priority list straight away, or for a little while until it is and then begins a rush to seek contraception. You are extremely fertile post baby, and most parents try to have a little gap between children, a period of recovery is also often recommended for women as birth is a massive ordeal on your body. But what contraception can you start post birth? When can you start it? What is safe with breastfeeding? and what side effects of contraception can we expect?
