Ep. 168 - Amelia Lamont - The Midwife Mumma's Hot Take on The Fourth Trimester

Let’s be honest, mama, the fourth trimester can feel like total chaos. From sore boobs and broken sleep to cold coffee and toast crusts, it's a full sensory experience. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, touched out, or like you might actually dissolve from sleep deprivation... this one’s for you.

In this episode, Dr. Renee White sits down with the brilliant and hilarious Amelia Lamont, also known as The Midwife Mumma. Amelia is a midwife, sleep and lactation consultant, mum of four and now, author of her brand new book The Midwife Mumma. And if you're after a straight-talking, no-filter guide to surviving early motherhood, this book (and this chat) is exactly what you need.

Renee and Amelia discuss everything from the realities of sleep deprivation and breastfeeding myths to letting go of mum guilt and actually making time to fill your own cup whatever that looks like for you.

You’ll hear about:

💛 The myth of the "easy" baby and why temperament matters more than you think

💛 Real-life sleep advice that’s practical, baby-led, and totally non-judgy

💛 Breastfeeding truths and boob differences (yep, even lefty vs righty)

💛 The power of accepting help and how to let go of control in those early weeks

💛 Why partners need support too and how they can show up in meaningful ways

Whether you're currently knee-deep in newborn life or gearing up for the fourth trimester, this episode is packed with refreshing honesty, expert insight and plenty of laughs. Amelia reminds us that while every baby is different, every mum deserves to feel supported, seen and a little less alone in the chaos.
