The Baby Bubble

Asking for a friend... when did children's books go so, rouge?  Our mate Jess Harris agrees there's something fishy happening between the pages of your kids fave reads.  From existential crises to social anxiety, are these characters ok??

It's no surprise how unpredictable a baby's sleep schedule may be.  What never ceases to amaze us though, is just how someone else's sleep cycle can totally throw off another persons brain function. Like, forget what day of the week it is, or drive off with your phone on top of the car because you're so tired kind of brain function.  Just ask today's special guest Claire Hooper; she's thrown a sle...

We're back baby! After putting ourselves down for a much needed nap, we're ready to jump back into The Baby Bubble for another season. This time though, we're bringing a bunch of comedians along for the ride to swap stories about the funniest thing they've ever done... parenting.  T HE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to more episodes of The Baby Bubble here CREDITS Hosts: Clare Stephens &...

Hey mama's, long time no unhelpful advice. Before season two of The Baby Bubble kicks off we must address an urgent listener dilemma regarding a subject that we feel quite qualified to speak on at the moment... travel! From an onboard crèche to unwilling travel companions we've got covered... mama! T HE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to more episodes of The Baby Bubble here CREDITS Hosts: Cl...

It’s time for the six month check up, which is apparently a thing we weren’t aware of. So, how are we fairing in the baby bubble thus far? Well, we’re still being kept awake at night by the concerning shape of our babies heads, but at least we’re raising tiny geniuses.  But maybe that’s just our parenting toxic traits coming out to play…  T HE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to more episodes...

Leaving the house pre-baby: get ready, grab phone and keys, leave.  Now: it's been four hours and two changes later, we're all crying and I've forgotten a spare onsie. From forgetting what to pack, a negativity toward umbrellas and a magic bag these are all the ways we've survived, not thrived, leaving the house. (If only for a walk around the block which is a huge accomplishment TBH).  THE END BI...

He doesn't feel any guilt about outsourcing. I feel guilt about everything. We thought we had a pretty good grasp on who we were entering parenthood with... that was, until they had to execute the parenting part. And look, bless their cotton socks for  trying,  but we have some notes… THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to more episodes of The Baby Bubble here CREDITS Hosts: Clare Stephens &a...

There are two questions every new parent dreads... Are you in a routine yet? How’s the baby sleeping? Bedtimes, routines and the idea of sleeping through the night all feel like wild west concepts while you’re in the baby bubble. And we might just have to holster our weapons for this unwinnable battle. THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to more episodes of The Baby Bubble here CREDITS Hosts:...

The village is there for the vibes. Nothing says  “here if you need” like rocking up unannounced, disrupting the routine, dirtying some dishes and then ducking out when the baby starts crying.' They say it takes a village… but what they forget to tell you is that the village can kind of be annoying. Look, we’re not being ungrateful. Mostly, we’re just really bored & tired.

Feeding is weirdly high stakes… Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding or dare we say it  bottle feeding , everyone’s got an opinion on how to do it better. The fun thing about giving your baby nutrients is that it’s uniquely cooked for every individual. And don’t even get us started on breast pumps.

Just because you had a baby, doesn’t mean Barbie didn’t just come out. You know what’s a totally fun and not at all terrifying experience? Taking your first dump after giving birth. It can basically only be topped by your first post-birth shower, which looks more like a crime scene than a shampoo commercial. Today we’re debriefing on the many firsts that come after birthing your bub, including Jes...

I don't mean to be rude, but who tf are you? Let's be honest, giving birth is like the most intense first date ever. You show up at the designated place nervously excited to meet your date, only for them to show up late and basically whinge the whole time. And then you're obligated to be with them. For the next 18 years. So what were our first reactions to our new babies? And maybe more importantl...
