57| Solo Clare & Chloe. Feeding Battles, mum guilt & saying goodbye to Digger Pa.

Patty's this one is a big one. We start with baby Jack, who is now six months old, and the feeding challenges that have completely rocked the boat. From CMPI allergy and bottle aversion to navigating a full multidisciplinary team, we talk about what it’s really like when feeding isn’t “just feeding.” The appointments, the conflicting advice, the mental load… and the mum guilt that creeps in anyway. Chloe shares about advocating for herself after experiencing her first panic attack in seven years. What followed was pathology, answers, and a diagnosis of postpartum thyroiditis. A reminder that sometimes anxiety isn’t “just in your head,” and that mums deserve thorough care too. Clare opens up about seeing the incredible Tina, our trusted gynaecologist, and starting the OCP in hopes of finally getting relief from debilitating ovulation pain. Clare also unpack the chaos of moving house with toddlers, the stress that simmers underneath it all, and her controversial thought… bringing TV back for the kids!? And then, in the final 30 minutes, everything shifts. Clare and Chloe open up about the sudden passing of Clare’s beautiful Dad, Tony. It’s unfiltered. It’s raw. There is ugly crying. There are lifelong memories that will make you laugh through tears. We talk about what it means to navigate grief while still having to show up every single day as a mother. If you are holding loss in one hand and motherhood in the other, we see you. We hold space for you. This episode is dedicated to our beloved “Digger Pa.” We love you. We miss you. Always. Love, George & Emma 🤍
