    E243. Why won't my baby stop crying?

    Why Won’t My Baby Stop Crying?- With Heidi Skudder A baby who won't settle. Hours of crying. Back arching. Wind. Feeding difficulties. Broken sleep. And suddenly you're Googling everything, wondering whether it's colic, reflux, an allergy or simply normal newborn behaviour. In this episode, Pip is joined by baby and parenting expert Heidi Skudder to explore what can sit underneath an uncomfortable baby, why labels like “colic” and “reflux” can sometimes stop us asking the more important question - what is actually going on? - and how parents can find a more individualised middle ground. They talk about feeding, sleep, winding, gut sensitivity, parental intuition and mental health, as well as the danger of both over-medicalising normal behaviour and over-normalising a baby who is genuinely struggling. Most importantly, this is a conversation about helping parents feel informed rather than frightened and reminding them that crying is communication, parental instincts matter, and asking for support is not a sign that you're getting it wrong.

  • E242. The Hidden World Shaping Your Baby’s Health

    E242. The Hidden World Shaping Your Baby’s Health
    Sep 22 2026
    The Hidden World Shaping Your Baby’s Health- With Dr. Ruairi Robertson Your baby’s gut microbiome is developing from the moment they’re born - but how much should parents actually worry about it? In this episode, I’m joined by scientist Dr Ruairi Robinson to unpack what the research really tells us about the infant microbiome, and separate the science from the marketing and misinformation. We’re talking C-sections, vaginal birth, antibiotics, breastfeeding, formula, probiotics, vaginal seeding and, importantly, what you can actually influence. Because yes, early life matters - but your baby’s microbiome is far more adaptable than you might think.And if you’re feeling guilty about how your baby was born, whether you breastfed, or whether they needed antibiotics, this episode is one you’ll want to hear.

    Sep 15 2026
    Why Mothers Are Running The World (And Burning Out) – Dr Punam Krishan What happens to women after the baby arrives? In this powerful conversation, Midwife Pip sits down with NHS GP, broadcaster and author Dr Punam Krishan @drpunamkrishan to explore the often unseen reality of motherhood. Together they discuss identity shifts, matrescence, the mental and physical load mothers carry, why maternal health is still overlooked, and how modern motherhood places unprecedented demands on women. From brain changes in pregnancy to the lifelong impact of maternal health, this episode is a validating, honest and empowering conversation for every mother who has ever wondered, "Is it just me?" The answer is no. This episode is sponsored by Aptaclub.
