This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we catch up with regular guest Nina Clark, who is navigating the joys and challenges of life with her eight-week-old son, Josh, while on holiday. Nina shares how Josh's sleep is improving, with longer stretches at night, but also discusses his daytime catnaps and love for being held.

This episode delves into key topics for this age:

• Holiday Sleep: Meg offers advice on managing sleep routines while away, the pros and cons of car seat naps, and how to stay flexible without compromising your baby’s needs.
• Tummy Time Truths: Learn why tummy time is crucial for developing neck and back muscles, which are the foundation for rolling and crawling. Meg explains why tummy time on a parent's chest is a great alternative for babies who protest on the floor.
• Infant Skin Health: Meg provides a deep dive into common skin issues at this age, including cradle cap, baby acne, nappy rash, and eczema.
• The Skin Barrier: Discover why protecting your baby's skin barrier is one of the most important things you can do for their long-term health, helping to prevent future allergies and gut issues.
• Developmental Milestones: We celebrate Josh's new coos and smiles and look ahead to the next milestones, like discovering his hands.

This is a must-listen episode, packed with practical advice and reassurance for parents navigating the exciting eight-week mark.
