In this episode of Parenting with Ngala, join hosts Jen and Hannah as they speak with Charlotte, a Ngala Child Health Nurse and parent of three, to discuss the vital role feeding plays in bonding with your baby. The conversation covers the benefits of skin-to-skin contact for both mothers and fathers, the importance of trusting parental instincts, and the different ways to create a nurturing and distraction-free feeding environment. They also touch on safety considerations, such as the dangers of prop feeding, and share tips for recognising and responding to your baby's feeding cues.
