In this episode of By Your Side, Katie sits down with Dr. Cornelia Ochola — a brilliant Kenyan paediatrician with over 15 years' experience walking alongside parents through the early years.
Together, they explore the heart of responsive caregiving: what it really means to tune into your baby, why the little moments matter most, and how connection in the early days can shape a lifetime.
Dr. Cornelia shares her own story — the moment that changed how she practised medicine — and walks us through five simple, powerful ways every caregiver can support their baby’s development.
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about learning to see, to listen, and to trust that how you show up today… matters more than you think. ❤️
