On leaving an appointment with Neonatal Paediatrician Dr Howard Chilton, mamas describe feeling a deep state of relaxation.

Yet as Howard tells Nadine, in this episode of the She Births® podcast, his method is simple: a combination of reassurance and gentle encouragement to trust nature's way of doing things.

Dr Howard Chilton is a neonatal paediatrician, Dad, Granddad and author of two books, Your cherished baby and Baby on Board.

In this podcast we cover mammalian development and the unique long term codependency period we have as humans, the science behind sleep and of course settling and some of the most sensitive topics like co-sleeping and how to make that safe. We even myth-bust the colic and tongue tie debate.

Hopefully we give you a foundation of knowledge that empowers you to individually craft your parenting - according to the uniqueness of your baby.

May this chat help you to trust your instincts and most importantly enjoy your parenting even more.
