"Have you tried putting your baby down drowsy but awake?"
A statement SO many of us mums have been told… but why!? It’s a question the wonderful Alice Liveing has us all asking in this episode, which will make you laugh (and maybe swear a little) on Dear Mum.
Alice is a personal trainer, an old gym friend of mine from way before either of us had kids, and mum to eight-month-old Jeanie - she’s also a much loved content creator and blogger.
We talk about the reality-check of early motherhood - the four months of relentless crying, not leaving the house for weeks, and the strange identity shift of going from a packed, busy career to feeling, in her words, "like the most uninteresting person ever."
We also get honest about the mental load of feeling like you're never quite doing anything well enough - as a mum, a friend, a wife, a business owner - and why she's back in therapy to work through it.
