🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube - I was thinking about what I would tell my younger self. The version of me who had a newborn, or a six-month-old, or a toddler who had decided that 4:30am was a completely acceptable time to begin the day
And I realised that the things I’d actually want to tell her aren’t the research findings. They’re the softer things. The permission slips. The things nobody really says out loud. So that’s what this episode is. Three things I genuinely believe can help all parents, and I hope at least one of them lands for you. Plus I answer your questions ☺️ Let’s get into it.
- Dr Fallon ❤️
