The #1 Yorkshire Comedy Parenting Podcast with a husband & wife, focused on babies & toddlers! (well... we made that up as we're the only one in that category!)

We're a project in partnership with @kairosmovementyorkshire
www.kairosmovement.org.uk/dontwakethebaby/
And received funding from @methodistchurchgb
We're based in Harrogate with our two daughters
Lilly who's almost 4
And Lola who's 3 months

Are we pressured to buy unnecessary things as parents? Do you celebrate valentine's day?
Do you agree with us?

When was your favourite Christmas? Do you miss how it was before children?
Throwback to a Christmas extract from our "Lockdown Babies" podcast episode in series one! Listen to the full story - just search Don't wake the baby! on Spotify, Apple, YouTube or anywhere...
How is Christmas different for you now you have a baby, toddler or under 5? - it's certainly more chaotic! Brings more joy, but in the early years, also lots of challenges. Sometimes it's nice to reminisce on all the time we had to do nothing before kids! 😅
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas! And thanks for supporting us and the podcast through 2024
(Christmas special dropping later today!)

Pumpkin picking weekend at @birchfieldicecreamfarm 🎃
Lovely time with family ❤️ cousins & grandad
(although another year of saying "maybe she'll walk next time" ! 😅🤣 Lilly always wants carrying. She did more walking this year - which I quickly filmed to prove she wasn't in the wheelbarrow the whole time! 🙈)
Have you been to a pumpkin patch?

Dad is not the favourite at the moment! - anyone else have this? 😭 Heartbreaking, but also a bit funny 😅🤣
Since we recorded and released this episode, our toddler has become less anti-dad. More daddy-daughter time. So hopefully just a short phase 🤞
But as much as we try
- Elliot isn't allowed to talk
- He has to face the wall
- Not allowed in the room
Lilly gets very upset when Mama isn't around
Increasingly clingy knowing big changes are imminent
It's just the reality of parenthood sometimes 🤣
We take it in our stride - we know it's not forever
