Allergies & CMPA in Babies & Toddlers with The Children's Dietician, Lucy Upton 27 Sep 202200:58:36

Since becoming a mother, I have come to realise that allergies and reflux issues in babies and toddlers are not straight forward - in fact, they are completely the opposite, leaving parents at a complete loss and pulling at strings to try and find solutions. I can relate - I have been that parent! 

To try and shed some light on the complexities of allergies, today we are chatting to an expert - a woman who is a qualified Paediatric Dietitian and Feeding Therapist. With a number of different accolades to her name, during her 13 years, she has gained extensive experience working alongside children and their families.

Today's episode is packed full of facts, evidence based research, myth busting and a huge amount of useful information! The Children's Dietician offers a wealth of knowledge on everything from allergies and cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) to reflux and feeding. 

We answer questions on omeprazole. Is reflux the symptom of a bigger issue? Does dairy get into our breast milk? What is good poo vs bad poo?

Divorce and Co-Parenting with Caroline Stanbury 06 Sep 202200:49:48

We have such an exciting guest to kick start season 9!  

Brilliant, bold and beautiful, this week's guest is someone who has been living the Dubai life for a while now and has recently appeared on Season One of Real Housewives of Dubai. 

We caught up with her a few weeks before the show aired on Bravo/OSN and got a sneak peak into what Season One had in store for viewers (have you all watched the series yet?!) Maryanne was also three days postpartum with baby Ayla who was snacking away throughout the recording (hence the suckling noise you'll be able to hear). It was also Sarah's first episode at the Mother Tongue co-host (WAHOO) - all in all, so much fun, so much juicy content and so much knowledge from our fab guest! 

Mum to three, ‘divorced but not dead’ and newly engaged, we loved catching up with the incredible Caroline Stanbury.

That nip and tuck with Dr Faisal Salim15 Feb 202201:03:02
We are huge advocates of body positivity and no, that does not mean accepting parts of your body that you’re not necessarily a huge fan of, if you do not want to. If you’re able to safely change or enhance something, and in turn that makes you feel happier about yourself, we say do it! We have the pleasure to sit down with the renowned and sought after British cosmetic surgeon Dr Faisal Salim to talk all things nip and tuck. We discuss everything from botox and fillers to tummy tucks and breast augmentation. He has become quite the name when it comes to the ‘Mummy Makeover’, which was a new but super interesting thing to us! Its more common than not that when we become mothers, we unfortunately become more self-conscious and unhappy about our bodies due to the huge changes it goes through. We openly discuss our excitement towards having our boobs done in the near future and Dr Faisal talks us through a few of the most common procedures. This episode is a real goody, whether you’re in the market for a nip and a tuck or not. To find out more or contact Dr Faisal Salim:Website: https://www.faisalsalim.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drfaisalsalim/?hl=enSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
