The Baby Tribe – New Season Out Now!

New season of The Baby Tribe launches on Tuesday 6 May, and neonatologist Dr Afif El-Khuffash and obstetric anaesthesiologist Dr Anne Doherty are back behind the mics. 

Episode one features radio presenter, Dancing With the Stars winner, and social media personality, Carl Mullan. In this honest and funny conversation, Mullan opens up about his experiences with fatherhood, the challenges of balancing fame and family, and the unrealistic expectations often portrayed in parenting content.

This season’s line-up is built around the issues listeners keep raising: early gynae health for girls, what placenta percreta means for pregnancy and surgery, practical ways to handle breastfeeding pain and the step-down to weaning, and the spike in parental anxiety that no one wants to admit on Instagram.

Afif brings two decades of NICU experience and a habit of translating journal articles into plain language. Anne works at the sharp end of high-risk obstetrics, where calm decision-making and pain management are daily business. Together they balance clinical detail with the blunt realities parents swap on WhatsApp at 2 a.m.
