Today's Babies: Meet the families

Available for over a year

The Today Programme is embarking on a new project - Today's Babies - following three families who are expecting their first child at the start of 2026. We will check in regularly with the families, from pregnancy right through the first five years of the children’s lives. Today's Emma Barnett meets the three couples for the first time at a children's centre in South London. Image illustrations by Charlie Mackesy.
