As We Like It: Episode 1 - Infancy

‘As We Like It’ is a radio series that explores the seven stages of life according to Shakespeare’s quote from ‘As You Like It’ -  "All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages."

The first stage of life – Infancy. In this program we explore the miracle of birth and the development of the infant.

We hear from Professor Ray O’Sullivan Consultant Obstetrician at St Luke’s Hospital, Psychotherapist Mark Redmond, Doula, Gentle Birth Instructor and Baby Massage Therapist Eilis Walklett, Jo Scobie, Sonographer with the Women’s Health Clinic Kilkenny, The Ryan Family whose mother was a midwife in Carlow in the 1950 up to the late 1980s and some of the mothers who attend Cuidiu Kilkenny.

Produced by Monica Hayes with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland under the television license fee.
