WARNING: This isn't another parenting podcastDecoded: The First Year - is the podcast for parents feeling overwhelmed by baby milestones, sleep struggles and conflicting advice. Hosted by Dr SCL - a chiropractor, dad and nervous system translator, each episode helps you understand what’s really going on in your baby’s body and brain through DECODING the science of neurodevelopment and nervous system health into practical insights you can actually use without mansplaining, guilt or fear - all from a dad who gets it and a clinician who listens more than he lectures.

When I started this podcast I made a big song and dance about NOT wanting this to be a parenting podcast. But there is a pattern I have seen emerge over the last few year which I think warrants a conversation as it has t
Today, we're going to decode exactly what is happening in your baby's nervous system when they will only settle for you or if they act as if you are the devil. And I promise you — it is not what most people think.
One of the most emotional experiences in early motherhood… is feeding.Because when feeding feels hard, many mothers quietly start questioning themselves.“Why does my baby only feed on one side?” “Why are they so unsettle
Overstimulation has become so common… it now looks normal.The constant movement. The emotional volatility. The inability to slow down. The dysregulation after busy days. The exhaustion disguised as hyperactivity.Today, I
Few things make parents question themselves faster than sleep. Or lack of it.And somewhere along the way, many parents quietly start believing: “If my baby isn’t sleeping well… I must be doing something wrong.” Let’s rem
One of the hardest parts of parenting… and a moment many parents don’t talk about is trying to stay calm when your child’s behaviour feels big. The meltdowns. The screaming. The constant movement. The emotional explosion
If you’ve listened to this entire reflex series… first of all, good on you. Because chances are, you didn’t come here looking for “perfect parenting.” You came here looking for understanding. You wanted to know: “What ac
There’s a question sitting underneath almost every conversation I have with parents. “How do I know if this is something we need to act on… or something my child will simply grow through?” And honestly? That question mak

Hey Mum… Have you ever looked at your baby and thought… “They’re just a bit more sensitive…” “They’re strong-willed…” “They’re just not as easy as other babies…” And if you’re really honest — there’s a tiny part of you w
There’s a moment that catches almost every parent off guard…Your baby isn’t quite crawling yet — but they’re not quite still either.They’re rocking… shifting… almost like they’re trying to figure something out.And you st
If you’ve ever watched your baby turn their head… and noticed their whole body respond…An arm straightening… the opposite side curling in…And you’ve thought, “Is that just random movement?”I want to gently shift that for
If you’ve ever looked at your baby during tummy time… and thought,“Why does this feel harder for them than it should?” Or maybe you’ve noticed moments where their body feels a little too stiff… or a little too floppy… An
The Moro reflex. Not because it’s the most talked about — but because it’s the one that shapes how your baby experiences the world from the very beginning. It’s their first “alarm system.” Their first response to stress.
One of the first questions parents are taught to ask is: “Is this normal?” And I understand why. Normal sounds safe. Normal sounds reassuring. But neurologically…normal is a very blunt tool. Because development doesn’t h
Hi, Mum, it’s Dr SCL.Today we’re tackling one of the sneakiest little phrases in early development:“They’ll grow out of it.”It sounds reassuring, right? Like a soft promise that time will solve everything. But when we lo
If you’ve been listening to this podcast, you’ll have heard me say this a few times:Your baby isn’t random.Their movement isn’t accidental.And their behaviour isn’t a mystery.We need to talk about what comes before movem
Milestone culture has trained us to look at outcomes.Rolling. Sitting. Crawling. Walking.But almost no one explains what makes those things possible in the first place.And when primitive reflexes do get mentioned?It’s us
Hey Mum. Let me guess… you put your baby on the floor for tummy time… and within about 90 seconds you’re wondering if you’re doing it right. Are they meant to be rolling by now? Should they be pushing up higher? Why does
