In this short clip from Episode 1 of our podcast, hosts Jen and Hannah unpack the myth of “parental instincts” and why parenting is really a learned skill.

👉 Key takeaway: The day your baby is born is also the first day of your new job as a parent. Give yourself space to learn.

Newborns like to keep us guessing - especially when it comes to tired cues 😅

In Episode 4 of our podcast, Ngala registered nurse Beth breaks down the subtle signs your baby is ready for sleep (think red eyebrows, hand-to-face, looking away) and why their little awake windows can go by fast.

If it feels a bit like Groundhog Day right now, you’re not alone. Keep watching them, keep tuning into their cues… you and your little one are learning from each other. You've got this! 💜

In Episode 1, Preparing for Parenthood, our podcast hosts Jen and Hannah shared a few simple steps that you can think about ahead of time, to help in those early days with a newborn:
💜 Decide your visitor rules (who, when, and how long)
💜 Plan for any vaccination or handwashing requests
💜 Agree on boundaries with your partner
💜 Communicate expectations before baby is here

It's important to remember that postpartum boundaries and support look different for every family. Do what feels right for you and your baby.

With another year almost gone it is time to look back at Ngala's impact in FY24/25 and celebrate some of the successes we had in the latter part of 2025.

The numbers tell an amazing story: Parents are under pressure like never before. Tens of thousands of WA families need our support every year. Anxiety and stress are on the rise. Regional families are also requiring hard-to-get services.

So where to from here?
Thankfully, with significant funding from the WA Government secured in the second half of 2025, Ngala will be here well into the future.

To everyone who has contributed, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. 💜
