Show Notes
Welcome to the first episode of The Happy Baby Podcast.
This Podcast is all about providing information for parents on the common issues that can affect their baby or child and more importantly, where to get help. Our access to healthcare has been negatively impacted in the last few years. Waiting lists are longer than ever for even the most basic services for children. Our aim is to provide parents with good, practical, professional information to help them navigate their little one’s health needs more effectively.
In this first episode, Frank answers 5 frequently asked questions about newborn babies. He discusses baby reflux, tongue tie, wind, prematurity, and caesarean section babies. For each of these he explains how he would treat the baby.
As we progress through the first series, we will be discussing a wide range of issues from flat head and torticollis in newborns to what to do if you feel your child needs a little extra help in school. We will invite guests to speak with us and give you the benefit of their experience.

When you are told that your new born baby has Down syndrome it is quite natural to experience a number of emotions at any given time, particularly during the first few weeks and months. For some parents it is one of shock as they have had no advance warning, for some it is disappointment that they were not handed the baby they anticipated and for others it’s a worry of what lies ahead. All these emotions are very common, however in time, parents come to realise that they have a tiny baby that requires the same love and attention as any other baby who has his/her own special little personality that will develop and inspire you over the years.
