from Don't wake the baby! · host Emma and Elliot

Getting through the first 6 months with a baby - we made it! This is the one where Emma and Elliot look back at how daily life has been in this phase of parenthood...

And our top tips for getting through it. What are our recommended baby items in the first 6 months? Plus, probably some other stuff I forgot about!
