This week on the podcast I am joined by Amanda Thompson, co-founder of Bundle London and Antenatal Teacher. Amanda is a qualified antenatal teacher, having gained her qualification with the NCT. She is also a baby massage instructor and has supported new parents for over 12 years. Being a mother of 5 herself (2 sets of twins and 1 in the middle – now all in their teens), she completely understands how challenging and wonderful parenthood can be. Amanda’s passion stems from struggling in the early days with loneliness, feelings of being out of control and trying to sift through reams of conflicting information.  Today Amanda shares with us her personal experience especially with two sets of twins and professional expertise of those newborn early days. We go on to talk about how important support for mum is, caring for your baby, newborn sleep, baby massage and touch on breastfeeding and when to seek help.  Specific topics: -Inspiration behind becoming an antenatal teacher -Early days - support for you and your baby (fourth trimester) -Caring for your baby  -What to expect from newborn sleep  -Benefits of baby massage  -Breastfeeding - how to know you are doing it right for you and when to seek help?
