Midwife Pip® Podcast

Infant feeding is one of the first things on a new parents mind - it is such a fundamental part of the fourth trimester. Whether you choose to breastfeed, combination feed or formula feed you and your baby are learning a whole new skill that can take a little time and patience to get to grips with. Knowing what to expect, how to work out if your feeding journey is going well and common conditions to keep an eye out for such as jaundice can make you feel more confident and prepared as you navigate the early weeks with your little one.

On this weeks episode I am joined by Dr Shruti Nathwani, Dr Shruti is a NHS Paediatrician and host of the platform @thechildrensmedic medic. Knowing there is a gap in knowledge and support parents receive upon arrival of their newborn, she set out to try and inform parents with evidence-based information and tips.

"It was when I had my own son that I realised there were so many questions as a new parent and not enough support to go around." She covers topics such as reflux, newborn stool, eczema, developmental milestones and many more on both her Instagram page and website www.thechildrensmedic.com

I think the most commonly searched words for new parents are… how can I get my baby to sleep. The sleep disturbances and deprivation of being a new parent are tough as I know all too well since becoming a mum myself n 2021.

If babies came with a sleep manual that would be great, but they just don’t, so we have got to figure out how to support these beautiful little joyous sleep thieves ourselves.

I think preparing for the sleep changes and understanding how to support your little one in the outside world should be considered in pregnancy, so we have realistic expectations when the time comes and know what to do.

On this week’s episode I am joined by Lisa Lamb, known better on social media as the_night_ninja. Lisa is a mum of 3 and prides her sleep coaching approach as being non-judgemental and free from any bullshit. We are all for keeping it real on this podcast, so I am excited to pick Lisa’s expert brains on all things helping your baby to sleep.

We are going there! We are talking about sex during pregnancy and after you have had a baby. One of those subjects you may not want to talk with your mum or friends about but fear not because here on my podcast we love diving into taboo subjects and making sure no stone is left unturned.

Sex is a topic that often makes us blush or shy away from discussion, but I am not sure anything could make this week’s guest blush, as a sex educator April Davis spends her days writing about vaginas.

On Instagram as @thevaginablog April openly discusses all the things you want to ask but are too shy to. April describes herself as the reason you slightly tilt your phone away from others when you're scrolling and that is the exact reason, she is the perfect guest to join us today.

I am very grateful that April is taking time out from blogging at thevaginblog.com and swapping seats from hosting her own podcast to join me here today to share why talking about sex and vaginas need not make you blush.

This week marks the beginning of Child Safety Week which is run by the Child Accident Prevention Trust. Here at Fred Safety, we are passionate about helping every parent protect their child at home by making all of our products simple to fit and designed for maximum safety. We believe that most accidents that happen at home are preventable. Did you know that half of under 5s will attend A&E this year and more than 75% of under 5s that suffer a fatal injury from an accident, do so at home? These statistics are frightening, and we want this to stop, Fred Safety products are designed with your home and family in mind and we pride ourselves on being fully compliant with EU regulations. As we know here at Fred Safety, sharing safety knowledge and having a safe home for your little ones helps saves lives!

On this week’s episode I am joined by Adam Shaw, perhaps better known on Instagram as @at_dads_table. As a dad of 2, with a 3rd baby on the way Adam has definitely had experience in this field and is joining me to share his postpartum support tips and tricks today.

Motherhood is the most beautiful, chaotic whirlwind. Some days you feel on top of the world and like you are smashing it and other days feel like they are a month long and full of relentless hurdles. We wouldn’t change it for the world, but that doesn’t mean that it is easy, so how can we mother in a more mindful way to make those rollercoaster days a little easier on us and the whole family?

This week I am so excited to chat to Izzy Judd, who as a mum of 3 is very aware of the challenges that come alongside motherhood.

Izzy is also a violinist and author of ‘Dare to Dream’ and ‘Mindfulness 4 Mums’. Izzy has been affected by anxiety through her life and has found how mindfulness and self-care can bring some calm to motherhood and that getting the family involved can help your little ones too.

Follow Izzy on Instagram @mrs_izzyjudd and check out her fantastic books which are genuinely among the most powerful I have read sharing her journey to motherhood and simple tactics to bring a calmer energy to the life of a busy mum.

Nutrition in pregnancy is a powerful force, not only does the food you eat need to nourish your body but also your growing baby. However, alongside nutrition in pregnancy comes a whole heap of myths and misconceptions. At a time where it is so important to have the facts and to be empowered to nourish your body and baby it is vital we unpick fact from fiction and I cannot think of a better guest to help us do just that today.

I am joined by the wonderful Rhiannon Lambert. Rhiannon is one of the UK’s leading nutritionists, a best-selling author and chart-topping podcast host.

In 2016 she founded Rhitrition, a renowned Harley Street clinic, which specialises in weight management, sports nutrition, eating disorders, and pre- and post-natal nutrition. As an evidence-based practitioner, Rhiannon is committed to the benefits of a scientific approach to nutrition.

In 2017, Rhiannon published her first book, the best-selling Re-Nourish: A Simple Way To Eat Well, part handbook, part cookbook, in which she shares her food philosophy to lay the foundations for a happy, healthy relationship with eating. She followed this up with Top Of Your Game: Eating For Mind & Body (2019), co-written with world snooker champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan. And her third book, The Science of Nutrition, was recently published in 2021 and is a Sunday times bestseller.

Rhiannon also hosts the top-rated ‘Food for Thought’ which gives listeners practical, evidence-based advice on how to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

So, I think it is safe to say we are in the very best hands today with Rhiannon!
