E238. Fatherhood, Feeding & The Role No One Talks About with Jim Chapman

**Fatherhood, Feeding & The Role No One Talks About - with Jim Chapman** A powerful, honest conversation about modern fatherhood, parenting pressures, and what really matters. In this episode, Pip sits down with Jim Chapman @jimchapman to explore the realities of raising young children- from sleepless nights and feeding challenges to the emotional shifts that come with becoming a parent. Together, they unpack the myth of “perfect parenting,” the importance of trusting your instincts, and how to navigate judgement around feeding choices. Jim shares openly about his children’s very different feeding journeys, the impact of reflux on family life, and how combination feeding transformed their experience. The conversation also dives into emotional intelligence in parenting, breaking generational patterns, and why being present matters more than getting it “right.” This episode is a reassuring reminder that parenting is not about perfection, it’s about connection, flexibility, and figuring it out as you go.
