    It's very easy as a new mum to be thrown off your beautiful instinct by well meaning but misplaced comments about your baby...in this month's episode of mothers talking, Natalie chats to lovely Laura Hubbard, new mum to baby Bobby, about how she is feeling during these sensitive early days. As a second time mum, Laura trusts herself more in knowing her baby and is working hard to drown out the voices that make her feel like she doesn't.
