The new parenting podcast where trusted experts fact check the baby advice filling your social media feed. As a new dad, Greg Foot - creator and host of the popular BBC podcast Sliced Bread - is being bombarded by parenting tips so he’s making this podcast to work out what’s fact and what’s fad. With Greg’s son Teddy only a few months old, Series 1 focuses on newborn babies - fact checking advice on newborn sleep, skin-to-skin contact, crying, language development, gassy babies, bottle feeding, playtime and baby skincare - to find out what really helps, and what’s just noise! As always, our podcast promise to you is... no influencers trying to sell you stuff, no pursuit of parenting perfection, and no judgement. Just evidence-based advice from experts you can trust, to help you be the best parent you can be today. Let's figure this out together.
