Don't wake the baby! - Podcast for Parents

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting, humour, and crafting. Welcome to the blanket fort! Our little podcast has been going for over a year and we are now into our third series. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our ups and downs, explore how parenting has changed, and discuss everything from Disney Films to Montessori; French parenting to Potty training at 6 months; sleep-deprived stories and watching Bluey.

Each episode is a fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting with plenty of 90s references, funny toddler stories, and openness about the realities of parenthood. We're here to support parents and families who feel isolated and need a laugh - offering a conversation starter that you can join in with. You don't need to have a baby, but it will be most suited to those with preschool children.
