    16: “That’s revolting!!!!” The NewlyDads take on baby food

    Gareth and Ollie are back from Barbados, and hitting the studio to tell us all about their first big holiday away with Cosima and Apollo. The dads share their top tips of travelling with their babies, their holiday highlights, and the ‘boujee’ way they celebrated the twins turning six months old.
    The NewlyDads have also hit a new milestone in their parenting career, they’ve started the (in their words) ‘dreaded’ weening. They get into their dream baby food flavours, and Producer Ben also serves them up a welcome back treat: a baby food buffet. Find out which flavour cuts the mustard, and which they describe as “revolting”.

Prefer it when it’s just the two of them

Ollie and Gareth are naturally funny and charming. Prefer it when it’s just the two of them chatting, not interviewing.

Thank you

I’m a bit late to the party on this because, well, life! As a mum of a 4year old and 2year I just want to say thank you. My 2year still doesn’t sleep and sometimes in my exhaustion I feel lonely. I listened to the first episode and cried, I don’t want advise or tips and finally I have found a place that understands that!! The second episode got me again. My son was resuscitated at birth, I was under GA. Neither of us present for the birth due to the rush of emergency c. He was straight into NCU. It’s been years but still gets me. It’s nice to hear other people talk of their experience and how it’s a whole little community. Looking forward to listening to the other episodes and hope I will catch up soon!! Good luck guys, you are great x
