Flathead syndrome: We unravel the mystery behind plagiocephaly, a condition that causes a baby's head to appear unusually flat. We discuss the symptoms, causes, and different types of plagiocephaly: positional and craniosynostosis. Katie & Afif assure us that this condition doesn't put pressure on the baby's brain nor affect their development and also share practical advice on proactive measures like "tummy time" and changing the baby's sleep position.

We then have an interview with Dr Niamh Lynch, Paediatric Neurologist where we tackle the often unspoken challenges of bonding with a baby, supporting your partner during this crucial period, and the anxiety experienced in the postpartum period. We delve into the power of communication, seeking help when necessary, and the benefits of nurturing a strong support network. Wrapping up this enlightening conversation, we take a look at the impact of social media on sharing healthcare information and the need for a balanced approach. Join us for this deep dive into the world of parenthood and beyond.
