Twins, support and the early days with Amanda Thompson, co-founder of Bundle London and Antenatal Teacher

This week on the podcast I am joined by Amanda Thompson, co-founder of Bundle London and Antenatal Teacher. Amanda is a qualified antenatal teacher, having gained her qualification with the NCT. She is also a baby massage instructor and has supported new parents for over 12 years. Being a mother of 5 herself (2 sets of twins and 1 in the middle – now all in their teens), she completely understands how challenging and wonderful parenthood can be. Amanda’s passion stems from struggling in the early days with loneliness, feelings of being out of control and trying to sift through reams of conflicting information.  Today Amanda shares with us her personal experience especially with two sets of twins and professional expertise of those newborn early days. We go on to talk about how important support for mum is, caring for your baby, newborn sleep, baby massage and touch on breastfeeding and when to seek help.  Specific topics: -Inspiration behind becoming an antenatal teacher -Early days - support for you and your baby (fourth trimester) -Caring for your baby  -What to expect from newborn sleep  -Benefits of baby massage  -Breastfeeding - how to know you are doing it right for you and when to seek help?

Mum Talk is here for you on your journey into parenthood providing your 'nod along' and 'me too' moments plus answering all the questions we all have! For the first 13 series, Emma is joined by not only incredibly knowledgable guests, some experts in their field, but also Mums and Dads sharing their experience of pregnancy and parenthood. Emma also shares her personal journey from pregnancy to life now with two. Mum Talk is honest, real and informative. For series 14, Emma is back with a brand new series and brand new conversation with her co-host Ali Bastian, who you may recognise from hit TV shows, Hollyoaks, The Bill and Strictly Come Dancing. Ali and Emma are in the thick of motherhood and are here to deep dive into it all with you. Motherhood changes you as a person, physically and mentally, it seems (from personal experience)to give you the most incredible sense of purpose, self-worth and strength you didn’t know you had, whilst simultaneously leading you to question your ‘self’ and more or less everything you have ever known. Ali and Emma have one goal, as it has always been from the beginning of Mum Talk almost 5 years ago, to share in the hope no-one ever feels alone in motherhood. Ali and Emma are here for it all, the highs, the lows, the journey that is motherhood, the realities of building a family, life, love, laughter, tears, heartbreak you name it. Grab a cuppa or pop your headphones in and head out for a walk, join Ali and Emma for ‘hearts on sleeves’ mum talk and journey through motherhood together.  Hosted on Acast.
