5. Get Out Of The House!

Congratulations. You made it. Pop the cork, pour a glass of bubbly...(well, maybe not if you’re still breastfeeding) and pass the cake. It's time to marvel at how things have changed. We check in with our in-house paediatrician to go over baby's milestones, and discuss what to expect when you're living with a toddler. And if you've closed up shop, and you're in the "one and done" crowd, we discuss being an only child. But if you want to go around again, we talk planning for siblings, how to go about it, and introducing baby number two.  Show Notes Episode Guests: Dr. Golly & Saengtip Kirk Hosts: Holly Wainwright & Christie Hayes Find us on Facebook at Year One with BabySupport the show: https://www.mamamia.com.au/mplus/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grab the baby wipes and get ready to scrub the spit off your shirt. This episode is all about going back to work. PAID work, we mean. What happens if you're on maternity leave and you want to go back to work early? What if you NEVER want to go back? Is there something in between? Plus, if you haven’t got child care organised, is it too late? Will you have to take your baby to work and keep it in a basket under your desk?

Life with a new baby can mean all your attention gets focused on just one thing; them. But researchers have found that relationship satisfaction can plummet after the birth of a baby. So, how can we nurture not just the baby but your relationship? How can you keep the old love alive when all your time and brain space is going into the love for your new one? This episode is all about your relationships in this first year. From your partner to your mother's group, the in-laws, parents and siblings, from friends who have kids and those who don't, we'll help you negotiate the change, and overcome the hurdles.  Show Notes Episode Guests:   Kirsten Bouse  Hosts: Holly Wainwright & Christie Hayes Find us on Facebook at Year One with BabySupport the show: https://www.mamamia.com.au/mplus/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you look in the mirror and not even recognise yourself anymore? Miss adult conversation? Wonder if you will ever be the same person again? It's OK. The loss of identity feeling you have is normal. But, we’re going to talk about getting help with it.

You might be a MasterChef in the kitchen, cooking up the latest in kale, pork belly or truffles but your baby won’t care. They're all about mush. Tasteless and nutritional mush.  This episode is all about starting solids. How can you recognise allergies? What's the best fix for fussy eaters? How can you introduce different flavours, and when? Is there a trick to getting less food on the floor, and more in their gob? And if you're thinking you should just let them eat nude and hose them down after, you're not alone.

Have you gone from a free-loving, crazy risk-taker into walking around in a hazmat suit and bubble wrap?   This episode is all about safety. What should you worry about and what can you let slide? Should you rush out and do a CPR or First Aid course, or is common sense enough? We go room by room through your house and identify hazards, and then take it outside and look at car seats, water safety, and the big wide outside world.  Show Notes Episode Guests:  Sarah Hunstead Hosts: Holly Wainwright & Christie Hayes Find us on Facebook at Year One with Baby Resources:  Health Direct  Child Carseats  Kids Alive  Poisons Information 13 11 26Support the show: https://www.mamamia.com.au/mplus/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is your kid a genius? Are they so far ahead of the other kids you already know they’ll need a Mensa membership? Or maybe they’re still sitting in the backyard happy digging a hole and eating dirt? This episode is all about milestones. Yup, all the things you can’t wait to cross off the list so you know you're on the right track. If your baby refuses to crawl but happily bum-shuffles around should you be worried? Does a dominant right-handed child mean they'll be a tennis star? From talking, smiling and rolling over, to standing, walking, and talking, we'll tell you what to look out for and when you should seek advice.  Show Notes Episode Guests:  Dr. Daniel Golshevsky aka Dr. Golly  Hosts: Holly Wainwright & Christie Hayes Find us on Facebook at Year One with BabySupport the show: https://www.mamamia.com.au/mplus/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your baby isn't sleeping, neither are you, your partner or your neighbours. You're at your wits' end and the time has come to get help. This episode is all about how much sleep is "normal", when to know if you need help with sleep, who to ask, and what happens with in-home help. We'll chat to a mum who went to sleep school and we bring on the The Sleep Whisperer, Elizabeth Sloane to tell us how to get the whole family back to counting sheep.   Show Notes Episode Guests:  Elizabeth Sloane & Tegan Gilchrist Hosts: Holly Wainwright & Christie Hayes Find us on Facebook at Year One with BabySupport the show: https://www.mamamia.com.au/mplus/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All parents are liars. And what they lie about most is sleep. How much they get, how much the baby gets, how the much their partner gets. Yes, it's the contest of who has the most and who has the least. Snuggle down and tuck yourself in, this episode of Year One is all about sleep. Hosts Holly Wainwright, Christie Hayes and the Year One team of in-house experts will weigh in on questions like: How important is routine? Can you wing it? Should you bundle up your baby like a burrito or put it in a bag? Plus we get advice on co-sleeping from Midwife Cath.   Show Notes Episode Guests:  Beth Barclay & Midwife Cath   Hosts: Holly Wainwright & Christie Hayes Resources: Red Nose Find us on Facebook at Year One with BabySupport the show: https://www.mamamia.com.au/mplus/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
