#161 - In this episode of First Time Mum's Chat I'm doing something a little different, a question and answer (Q&A) session.

I'm regularly asked questions by mums who are getting started in their parenting journey and I've assembled a number of questions that I'm often asked and posed them to a number of mums, many of whom I've spoken with on the podcast in the past. There are also several mums that I'm chatting with in coming episodes.

During the episode, you'll hear questions and answers relating to topics including:-

• Sleep
• Tummy Time
• Getting started as a parent
• Potty training.

I hope to continue including regular Q&A episodes in the podcast, so please send me your questions!

#160 - In this episode of First Time Mum's Chat, I'm re-visiting the area of baby/toddler sleep and I'm thrilled to be chatting with mum of 3, Occupational Therapist, certified Family and Infant Sleep Specialist and podcast host, Heather Boyd.

Heather's baptism of fire with sleep challenges came with her eldest son, who had sleep challenges when he was a baby. Heather has worked with babies throughout her entire career as an occupational therapist, but she knew nothing about the sleep area and needed to work out how to support her son.

During our chat you'll hear Heather talk about her journey and how she helps tired parents support their baby's sleep without sleep training using a holistic approach.

#159 - Just try to imagine for a moment commencing your parenting journey with 7 children aged less than 3 years of age to feed and look after! This is exactly what life delivered to this week's guest, Katie Ferraro!

Katie had been struggling with feeding her first child only to discover that she was pregnant expecting quadruplets. Not surprisingly, her immediate worry was how was she going to feed another 4 needy little ones when she was struggling with just one!

During our chat you'll hear Katie explain how she came across baby led weaning and utilized her background as a nutrition professor to develop her hundred first foods approach. You'll hear Katie share many great tips and insights during our interview including:-

• How a baby-led weaning approach will save you both money and time
• How baby-led weaning helps your baby to develop a foundational love of food
• Why snacks and too much milk are the biggest saboteurs of the toddler diet
