Eco-Conscious Parenting | Parents discuss sustainability with babies & toddlers

Throwback: How to be more environmentally friendly when you have a baby or toddler? This is the one where Emma chats with special guest Fran (eco enthusiast and mum of three) about sustainability and trying to be environmentally conscious as a parent. With lots of great tips for reducing our carbon footprint, but also an encouragement not to feel guilty - you're probably already doing more than you realise! Cloth nappies, toys, food, clothes, energy, travel, second-hand, and much more... Looking at how we can include sustainability in our decision-making, even if it's only in small ways.

Plus: chat about the experience with our second child and how it's different.

This is part of our special summer season on the podcast, looking back at some past conversations, re-edited and re-released for 2026. Enjoy these classics if you're not busy over the holidays, and we'll be back with exciting new topics from September!

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our experiences, explore how parenting has changed, and build an online community of parents for mutual support.

A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening attempting an artistic or creative activity. 

We are a project in partnership with The Kairos Movement and supported by The Methodist Church, of which The Kairos Movement is a part
