In this episode, Chloe welcomes two special guests, Millie Poppins and Louise Grosart. Millie Poppins, a seasoned mentor in motherhood and an expert in baby care, joins us to dispel common misconceptions about the 'shoulds' of baby care. Millie shares her wealth of knowledge on various aspects, from understanding your baby's ideal amount of sleep to creating a nurturing nighttime routine. She emphasises that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, acknowledging the uniqueness of every child and family.
We then shift our focus to a conversation with Louise Grosart, a representative from Penguin Books, delving into the enchanting world of bedtime stories and their significance in a child's nightly routine. Louise underscores the transformative power of books in supporting families and initiating important conversations with children about the world they inhabit. Whether it's reading to your baby from day one or incorporating engaging activities like lift-the-flap and tummy time books, Louise provides expert guidance on launching your child's reading journey.
