What is it you'd wish you'd gotten after the birth of your baby? Food? An empty wash basket? Reassurance? A clean kitchen?

This week Liz & Fi talk through the heady newborn times and what we wished we'd asked for. Offers of popping over can sometimes be met with anxiety, sleep deprivation or feeding problems and despite well-intentioned offers of help, we'd often choose to decline them for fear of putting friends and family out of their way. 

We discuss why we find it so hard to accept help, cultural barriers and how we can accept help without feeling guilty. 

We chat about our new 'Practical Pampering' voucher - a gift that keeps on giving and takes the awkwardness out of asking for something that you need. It enables you to ask without having the awkward conversation and them to give you something you really need! You can find the voucher at www.becomingmums.com or via our Instagram & Facebook Pages.
