MKB catch up with Rosie Kelly Smith, talking her new book, Real Housewives and mastitis!

Hey mamas,Just me this week (Sophie) as Tallulah has just given birth!! Woop woop!I had the pleasure of catching up with Rosie Kelly Smith. Rosie lives with her fiancé and baby girl, Billie. She works in journalism and production and co-hosts a top ten podcast 'What if?' with her mummy, Lorraine Kelly. Rosie is launching her new book 'Mother to Mother' on the 26th February, so we sat down to discuss this beautiful book and navigating motherhood through the generations. The book talks to the advice that gets passed down, whether it should or not!Becoming a new parent is daunting enough without having to contend with comments and advice from seemingly every corner. 'They didn't do it like that in my day', 'You'll make a rod for your own back', 'Don't spoil the baby'. It's so easy to become overwhelmed, and too easy to feel like you're failing. How do you sift through all the advice and know what to trust? From her mum's birth in 1959, to her own in 1994, and to little Billie's in 2024, Rosie shares the universal truths that still make sense today, alongside the pieces of advice you can definitely ignore. From pregnancy to birth, the early days and beyond, Mother to Mother explores what we can learn about parenting from our own mums, as well as what we will find for ourselves.Welcome to the podcast Rosie!!Love MKB teamAs always, feel free to reach out to us, we'd love to know what you want to hear about on the podcast and our DMs are always open!IG: @mumknowsbestpodcastTikTok: @mumknowsbestpodcastor message us at [email protected] can also find Rosie on socials - @rosiekellysmith
