Unpacking burnout: parents at breaking point

This Little Life Podcast

Welcome to This Little Life - an impromptu and lively podcast diving into the big and little issues of parenting and beyond.

As parents, we’re constantly juggling. And with so many balls in the air, sometimes it can feel like we’re running on empty. And oftentimes, we are. In fact, more than two in three working parents are burnt out. So, what exactly is burnout? How is it different from stress or exhaustion? And with everything piling up, what are we to do? Join LittleOak Founder and CEO Elke Pascoe as she sits down with three experts— Dr. Amy Imms, founder of The Burnout Project; Erica Hatfield, founder of Hummingbird Careers; and Tammy Tansley, working mum and business leader — to unpack the hidden signs of burnout and the practical steps that can actually help.

LittleOak formula promises it’s quality and my twins have loved it. It has been so easy for their stomach, especially for one of my colicky babies. Thank you for a great quality product.

When we transitioned to formula we were worried as our little bub struggled on formula, all anxiety is gone, he happily takes the bottle with no upset tummy and nothing but smiles.

Top notch product for baby backed by a company with excellent customer service. At 7 months old now my baby boy is very satisfied after a bottle of LittleOak. Thank you.

LittleOak has been a lifesaver for our family, massively reduced our baby’s stomach issues and helped him sleep through the night. Highly recommend for parents seeking a gentle formula.

William has now been on LittleOak for 3 months and we have found it very gentle on his stomach, particularly with the transition. Also found it doesn’t smell yucky like other formulas.

Frequently asked questions

A. It is important to transition slowly from breastfeeding to LittleOak or from a different brand of formula to LittleOak. Changing food source too quickly can cause your baby discomfort to their immature digestive system. Our qualified team are here to help, support and guide you around the best transition plan that suits you and your little one. Download the LittleOak transition guide below.

A. We are the first infant formula in the world to be certified 100% Palm Oil Free by POFCAP. Palm oil inhibits the absorption of calcium, fats and DHA in babies so for us there was no question that we needed to use alternative, higher quality oils to provide the fatty acid profile in our products. Instead of palm oil, we use cold-pressed coconut oil and blend this with cold-pressed flaxseed oil and sunflower oil.
