We all assume we’ll have children… until life doesn’t go that way. This week on Baby Tribe, we sat down with Aideen McQueen for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had. From always imagining herself as a mother… to facing the reality that it might not happen…

When parents hear the word NICU, it can feel frightening. But the truth is that many babies who spend time there aren’t critically ill. Most are simply adjusting to life outside the womb. In this episode of Baby Tribe, we break down the most common reasons babies are admitted to NICU.

Genuinely baffled that any academic or neonatologist still posts on X. A platform failing to stop the sexualisation of women and minors has no place in professional medicine. If your job is protecting babies, maybe don’t do it there. This isn’t neutral. It’s a choice.
