Ep 245. Preparing Your Toddler Before Baby Comes Home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere between announcing baby number two or three and the baby actually arriving, there's a question nearly every mother asks, how do you stop your toddler from resenting the baby. Underneath it sits a quieter fear, that loving a second child might mean taking something away from the first. Decades of research on sibling adjustment paint a far gentler picture than we once assumed. This transition responds beautifully to preparation, the same way baby's arrival does. In this episode of The Sc
Ep 244. Breast Pumping Explained: What No One Tells You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You're sent home with a breast pump after birth and left to work out the rest of your pumping and breastfeeding journey on your own. No one mentions flange size, settings or the fact you might not need to sterilise a single part. Pumping comes with more variables than most mums are ever told about, and working them out alone in the middle of exhausted, hormonal days makes everything harder than it needs to be. Understanding what actually matters can take a lot of that pressure off. In this episo
Ep 243. What Does a Birth Doula Actually Do? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You might wonder what a doula actually does, or whether having one is worth it when you've already got a partner and a midwife by your side.

Ep 242. Pregnancy Myths Debunked: What's Actually True (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Someone in your life has probably already told you what pregnancy is "supposed" to feel like, whether you asked or not. When what you're going through doesn't line up with that, it's easy to wonder what's wrong with you instead of questioning where that advice even came from. These are the myths mums are told to accept without question, pulled apart to show what happens to your confidence when you stop challenging them. In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White sits down with
Ep 241. Birth Trauma Explained: Signs, Causes and Healing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maybe your birth went exactly how everyone told you it should, and you still can't shake the way it made you feel. Maybe it didn't go anywhere near the plan, and somehow you came out the other side feeling strong. Whatever your birth looked like on paper, if it left something behind that you're still carrying, that's worth taking seriously. This is for you if you've never quite known what to call what happened to you. It's for you if you're getting ready to give birth and want to understand what
