Discover the realities of blind parenting, from navigating newborn care to managing guide dogs and public perceptions. Garth and Jordi talk to Shaun to share their first-hand experiences, tips, and honest reflections.

Steven Scott and Shaun Preece welcome Garth and Jordi to explore the joys and challenges of raising a baby without sight. Inspired by Lucy Edwards’ video on prams and strollers, Shaun welcomes the guests to dive into practical solutions like baby carriers, talking kitchen tools, and baby-proofing strategies, alongside the emotional side of early parenthood.  

They discuss handling public expectations, overcoming anxiety, and adapting everyday parenting tasks—such as preparing formula, bathing, and nappy changes—through small, effective adjustments. The chat also highlights the importance of community support, asserting independence, and embracing the unique journey of parenting as blind adults.
