Made by Mammas: The Podcast

Zoe and Georgia are back for a catch-up, and it goes somewhere neither of them expected!

Georgia is deep in the secondary school application process, which included a failed attempt at a nap in the car, the girls also follow up on their recent online safety episode, sharing the response it got from listeners and they also ask why school dress codes ban crop tops and shorts for young girls, and why the conversation should really be with boys, about respect.

We’d love to hear what you think. Where do you stand on kids and clothes?

It’s Friday Q&A time, and this week Belle Cottingham is answering your questions on all things school and learning.

How do you pick the right school for your child and what really matters beyond league tables and Ofsted reports? Belle talks through your questions on choosing a school, supporting your child’s learning at home, and helping them feel happy and confident in the classroom.

Whether you’re filling in your first school application or trying to help with homework without tears (yours or theirs), make sure you listen to this one!

Today's podcast is the first of two additional episodes brought to you in partnership with Melissa & Doug.

How much do our kids learn just by playing?
This week we're joined by author and parenting coach Heidi Skudder to talk about learning, home schooling, and why play matters more than we think.

Heidi shares what learning looks like at home, how to make it fun rather than a battle, and easy ways to turn everyday play into time well spent. Along the way we talk about some favourites from Melissa & Doug, including Sticker Wow!, and talk about how open-ended toys get little ones thinking, creating and problem-solving.

This week on Made by Mammas, Georgia Habboo joins us for an honest, funny and heartfelt chat about the road to motherhood.

She talks us through Bella’s arrival, from the build-up to those first overwhelming days and why we should celebrate those first 12 weeks of pregnancy, not shy away from it! We also get stuck into the reality of sleep deprivation: the 3am feeds and what nobody warns you about.

And stick to the end of the episode if you haven't heard about HIFU!

For our second World Mental Health Day episode, Dr Debbie Raphael M.D joins Georgia to answer your questions about mental health in motherhood. She is an adult and child psychiatrist and a parent herself.
We discuss mum rage: what's behind it, why so many of us feel it, and what to do when it bubbles up - why small daily rituals can help steady you and your family, and also makes the case for treating parenting a bit more like a job, with boundaries, breaks and realistic expectations, and why that can take some of the pressure off.

Debbie's Recommendations:
