This is not a subject many of us discuss is it? Birth plans, maybe, weddings, definitely, but we will all die and we all need a send off, however small and modest. Don't forget to leave a review if you can! All to help you understand and support your toddler in a kind and effective manner.This episode concludes Series 5, but we're already lining up subjects for Series 6!Thanks for listening and supporting these episodes and please share as widely as you can.
We learn about what's going on in a toddler's brain, how they learn to 'do' before they learn to 'explain', what techniques work and which don't.
In this episode I talk to child and adolescent psychotherapist Rachel Melville -Thomas about what's going on with toddlers and how we can help and support them. But it's not because they are difficult, they're growing, learning who they are, what the boundaries are and their brains are going through enormous growth. Where have their lovely, compliant babies gone? I think it's got worse the later we leave parenthood and the more used we are to living in a world where we're (maybe) used to people doing as we ask.Toddlers don't give a damn about all that, and thank goodness.

If you are in need of a board certified lactation consultant go to. Read more about Gill, her work and her books at: If you'd like to read the article I wrote in 2006 when I first met Gill you can do so here. I’ll talk more about that at the end of the episode. I should add I did spoon/puree feeding with my first and baby led weaning with my second. We talk about what baby led weaning is, what it isn’t, why we may want to rethink spoon feeding, what the research shows and why, anyway, baby’s first piece of cutlery - when he or she is ready to wield their own - should really be a fork and not a spoon. Gill was a health visitor for 20 years, has been a board certified lactation consultant and is the co-author of five other books including one just published in the UK on an adapted baby led weaning approach for babies with additional challenges and difficulty eating called Your Baby Can Self Feed Too. She also co-wrote the original, research packed book on the subject (accept no substitute!): Baby-Led Weaning. She didn't invent BLW but she definitely put it on the map and kicked off a lot of research into this subject. In this episode I talk to Gill Rapley, whom I first met in 2006 but had heard about a bit before then. Even choosing their own foods from a pre-prepared selection. If you've even been near a baby, let alone had one, you've probably heard of baby-led weaning, the idea that babies don't need to have puree laden spoons shovelled into their mouths, but are perfectly capable of feeding themselves.
