Here he tells us everything we need to know about how to make our relationship last during the toddler years!

Amanda Colldén, who has the podcast The Parent Report, is a guest on this episode where we talk about how parenting doesn't always turn out or feel the way you imagined. What did you think becoming a parent would feel like? For some people, parenthood is something that comes naturally from the first moment, while for others it can take time and not turn out the way you thought it would. Amanda shares, among other things, the feeling of wanting to call the psych ward when you're going crazy from all the screaming and how hard it feels to never get any time to prioritize yourself - ever. Welcome to an unfiltered episode about all the emotions of parenthood.

Pediatric nurse Matilda Ördell guides us through the neonatal unit where she works. How well do you know the ward for premature or sick babies? There can be many things in the baby journey that go unnoticed unless they affect you. The neonatal unit is one such place. It's where babies who are born too early (preterm) or who are born with illnesses end up. In this episode, our pediatric nurse Matilda talks about why some babies are born prematurely and what happens when you take them from weak to strong. An informative and poignant episode that we hope you will enjoy!

How tired are you today? Struggling with sleep is something that many parents can relate to and often the tips come pouring in as soon as you ask for advice. We took the opportunity to interview an expert on sleep - to get the best answers!  Hanna Bergenkull is trained in sleep and is an expert on children's sleep. Around 30% of parents struggle with sleep and while there may be varying degrees of sleep difficulties, many need a helping hand. What should you do to manage poor sleep? In this episode, Hanna guides us through all her thoughts, advice and expertise! For goodness sake, don't miss this - perfect to listen to when you're rocking baby at night or on a stroller walk.

Sandra Beijer is an influencer and author who, with one of Sweden's largest blogs, generously shared her thoughts on the baby journey from the time she announced her pregnancy in week 20. Her miscarriage meant that for much of her pregnancy she couldn't walk at all - but what was that like? Letting go of the achievement and lying on the couch with a princess cake is something she recommends everyone with miscarriage to do for themselves. Welcome to an open discussion about accepting your pregnancy, dealing with your miscarriage and how a planned caesarean section actually works!

One year before a man and woman have a child, studies show that there is a difference of around 10% in pay. Eight years after the first child, there is a difference of 30% between men and women's salaries. How equal is your relationship? Private economist Emma Persson at Länsförsäkringar is an expert on finances in relationships. In this section, she uses facts and statistics to highlight the differences that exist today when it comes to men and women's financial circumstances. Being informed as a mother and thus being able to make more informed choices is something that the whole of society, not least the mother herself, gains from. This episode is an investment in knowledge, gender norms and gender equality. We recommend everyone to listen to it to increase their own understanding of why we live the way we do and what are really our free choices!

Finding out that there are two babies in your tummy - and not one - comes as a big surprise to most people. In this episode, midwife Sophie Saidac takes us through everything there is to discuss about twins.

We hope you will enjoy it!

For many children and parents, having a sibling is a long-awaited dream they look forward to! Someone to play with, mess with, fight with and discover together.

We hope that you will appreciate it!

Here is an extra episode where we dive deep into the subject of breastfeeding. Our own experiences are mixed with tips and other wonderful chat between midwife Sara and inquisitive toddler mom Johanna.
