Milestones can cause pure panic for parents, especially first-timers. Designed as a guide to track whether a child's development is on track, the truth of it is they leave us feeling smug if the kid is miles ahead and like we’re failing if they’re nowhere near. In this ep, we breakdown the milestones that freaked us out the most & how we dealt with the pressure of 'the timeline'. Then later in the ep, we have a lovely Sh*tter, Beth joining us for a chat. Beth is a mother of 3 young boys...

When we asked our Sh*tters what they wanted us to talk about on the pod, 'resentment' was one of the most highly requested topics. As it turns out, MANY of us can’t stand the person we had a child with and around 1 in 5 couples call it quits within the first 12 months of becoming parents. So today we're putting it all on the table - we chat through key moments that leave us feeling resentful and how we (try to) tackle resentment in a healthy way. Then later on, we chat to Sh*tter, Lauren...

Newsflash, babies need to be fed. And the only thing you feed them for the first 4-6 months of their lives is milk. But it’s not as straightforward as society might have you believe.

We strongly believe that the only important thing is that your baby is actually getting fed, so whether that’s through breastfeeding, formula, mixed feeding or exclusively pumping, you’ve come to the right...
