It's very easy as a new mum to be thrown off your beautiful instinct by well meaning but misplaced comments about your baby...in this month's episode of mothers talking, Natalie chats to lovely Laura Hubbard, new mum to baby Bobby, about how she is feeling during these sensitive early days. As a second time mum, Laura trusts herself more in knowing her baby and is working hard to drown out the voices that make her feel like she doesn't.

Laura also featured in an earlier episode if you would like to hear more from her.

In our last episode of the year, Jenna and Natalie are delighted to welcome back the wonderful Peter Walker. Peter oozes compassion and warmth in his third episode with us as he chats about how fathers can help support their partners through pregnancy and birth but explores so much more than that. Peter talks about how babies are our teachers, not the other way round, how breathing out is one of the most important things you can do and gives us a real dose of what father love can feel like. Thanks so much Peter for this special episode.

We do discuss some sensitive topics in this episode so please be mindful when listening.
