First Look Gnomes: The Archives – First Time Parenting, Newborn Survival & The First Day After Birth

From the archives of First Look Gnomes…

This classic episode takes a funny, honest first look at becoming a parent — from the moment you leave the hospital to surviving the very first day after childbirth.

We talk openly (and hilariously) about what first-time parents are not prepared for: exhaustion, emotional overload, newborn logistics, and the sudden realisation that someone has let you take a baby home. Expect real stories, relatable panic, and practical reflections on how to prepare for life with a newborn.

Perfect listening for new dads, expecting parents, or anyone who wants reassurance that chaos is normal. Whether you’re counting down to birth, navigating those early days, or looking back and laughing, this archive episode captures the reality of early parenthood with warmth and humour.

A must-listen for anyone searching for first day with a newborn, new parent advice, or what to expect after childbirth — with laughs guaranteed.

A midseason vault opens into a candid first look at fatherhood, where sleep deprivation, newborn surprises, and a chaotic first night home collide with humour and perspective. We also fall hard for PSVR2, unpacking why immersion finally makes sense and how to keep it safe around kids.
