Oh my, is it really that time for the lunch nap to be gone? Somewhere between the age of 2.5 and 3 years old your little one is going to be showing signs of needing to drop that lunch time nap. 

But what are those signs? Does it happen earlier than 2.5 years? Does it happen later than 3 years? How do you drop that nap and what next?

Todays podcast I explain in details all the signs that you may see the lunch time nap needs to go! I explain how to do it and what you can do once it is gone!

Becoming parents the first time around we are overcome by all the items on sale in stores willing us to part with our money, telling us we NEED it and because it looks pretty and we want the best for our baby we buy it. And pretty much everything else on the shelf as well!

But in reality do you really need it? Aside of the obvious strollers and cribs let's get to the nitty gritty of the shopping list!

In this weeks podcast I am joined by Clarissa, founder of Charlie's Footsteps to talk us over the things you really do need and what you can live without! From Baby Shower gifts to Newborn through to 12 months of age we have you covered!

Holiday season is well and truly underway but what does that mean for routines? Many parents like to have a structured routine at home but when on tour a go with the flow outlook is preferred but what does that mean for naps and night sleep? Is napping on the go you want to do more of when on holiday, perhaps you plan on later dinners with the family and hoping for longer lie ins the following day...!

In todays podcast I explain about holidays and routines and what it all means. I explain why you may need to keep a routine and why and how you can swerve off it and the possible consequences.

You have finally nailed that sleep! You are happy with night sleep, those pesky naps have been nailed and now your little one is off to daycare and you are thinking "what if that nap does not happen" or " what happens if it is only 40 minutes long"?

It is very normal to have these thoughts and be concerned. I sure had them when both Leo and Chloe started nursery. But, don't worry, in today's podcast I explain how to mange sleep and daycare and hopefully put your mind at peace!

Spring is in full swing and summer holidays are nearing. I love this time of year, the hotter the better for me and yes, we all like to spend a lot of time near the beach and water to cool us down especially with children. But we also need to be very thoughtful when it comes to fun on the beach and even in our own back gardens with the paddling pools. 

This week Jayne from Daisy First Aid kindly joins me to discuss swim, sun and water safety. This coincides with it being National Prevention of Drowning week. (12-18 June 2022)

Jayne talks to us about floatations devices, ages of children they can and should be used, in what circumstances they can and should be used for, safety in the paddling pool, swimming pool and beach. We also spoke about what to do in an emergency be it in water or if there is sunburn, sun stroke or a jellyfish sting involved. 

We also spoke about what to say to children about water safety and what to teach them so they too know what to do in a water emergency. 

Find Jayne on Instagram and Facebook 

See Jayne's Website where you can book online or in person classes 1st Aid classes or even purchase a 1st aid kit that is great to pop in the car or your swim bag!

I am kicking of a little mini series all about childcare options. At some point your little one may need to go into childcare but where on earth do you start and what are your options? 

This week I am discussing about hiring a nanny. I have a lot of experience in this area as I was a nanny for 20 years before Leo was born. I talk you through the process of hiring a nanny, what to look for in a nanny, cost and also the important questions you should ask in the interview process. 

Hiring a nanny may be on your radar so enjoy this weeks podcast and I hope it sheds some light on this daunting task ahead!

When I was pregnant first time round I said to myself, I will try breastfeeding, if it works then great, if not, no problem, formula is there for a reason..."

Cue Leo, born after a long and painful delivery and the breastfeeding journey began. Spoiler alert, all I can say is how much those hormones come into play....then round two when Chloe was born...the breastfeeding journey commences again...

I hope this podcast brings encouragement to you on your breastfeeding journey, where it takes you....
