This week, you might have found yourself asking – when will my newborn sleep through the night? We’ll be talking about baby sleep routines, sleep safety and talk about some of the mistakes that could be preventing your newborn from getting 40 winks. And is it too early to think about childcare? We can help with planning for the future. Plus we’ll be talking about how making friends with other mums can be invaluable and a great way to share experiences – including what could be becoming your new favourite topic – the colour of your baby’s poo! Antenatal teacher Chess joins the podcast to share what's normal, or not, with your baby's poo.
