On todays episode I speak to Jacqui who is Mum to 6 month old, Collins.

With both Jacqui and her husband, Reece being semi-pro athletes, Jacqui shares how they balanced their commitment to sport and returning to the hockey scene post baby.

We talk about the dynamics of establishing feeding and the great balance that they achieved with mixed feeding, which also allowed her husband to bond with baby.

We discuss the hot topic of sleep! and the information overload when it comes to what to do and how to do it, alon with the unwanted comments and advice that is hard to ignore.

Jacqui shares about addressing the unexpected mental load of motherhood and the strain that can put on relationships.  We talk about how sometimes we overthink or prepare for worst case scenario but that gets in the way of living and travelling with a baby.

Through our conversation we realise our styles of parenting are really opposite but how awesome it is that parenting and lifestyle choices can be so different and yet still successful and rewarding.
