Whether you’ve opened a 24-hour milk bar or bottles are your best friend, this episode is all about the battle of the boob. It’s supposed to be the most natural thing in the world so why can breastfeeding be so stressful? Is there too much pressure on women to breastfeed? What happens when that just doesn't...happen?

Hosts Holly Wainwright, Christie Hayes and the Year One team of in-house experts look at all the options, but promise not to tell you what's best for you, since there are enough people doing that already. We’ll discuss expressing, bottle-feeding and what to do when everything goes tits up.

Bras off, lets get started.

So you’ve had a baby. Congratulations! You've crossed the big nine-month finish line, cut the ribbon...or the umbilical cord…..and made it!

This episode is all about THE FOG. Hosts Holly Wainwright, Christie Hayes and the Year One team of in-house experts find out what to expect in these first precious days, and why you’ll be keeping a diary to write in about poo. And not just the baby's. Yes, new motherhood is really all about the glamour.

So, you've had a baby. Now what? 

Undoubtedly, there will come a time when you will look at the beautiful bundle in your arms and ask "Hold on, why am I crying more than you?"

Year One is your real-life guide to getting through your baby’s first year. It's the Mothers' Group that comes to you. From milestones to mother-in-laws, from breast-pumps to brain explosions, we're here to help. 

The podcast is hosted by Christie Hayes, actress, breakfast-radio host and mum to two kids under three and Mamamia's Holly Wainwright, who's survived Year One twice and has the perspective of the baby years being well and truly in the rear-view mirror. 

Joined by a hand-picked dream team of doctors, sleep whisperers, childcare providers, nurses, psychologists, physios and more, Christie and Holly will be answering all the questions you have about your baby's first year. For real. 

Year One is coming soon to the Mamamia Podcast Network.
