ParentPod by BabyCentre

This is a series of weekly podcasts, created to accompany BabyCentre mums and dads on their parenting journey, from early pregnancy to having a three-month-old baby.

As BabyCentre Editor, I contributed expert, evidence-based advice on the week’s chosen topics, or provided insight into the choices and experiences of BabyCentre parents.

You can hear my dulcet Belfast tones on six episodes below.
