The Truth About Daycare

In this episode, we attempt to tackle the bug factory AKA daycare. This episode is perfect for parents who are considering sending their child to daycare OR just an unhinged lol with us (us also including HFM/RSV/GASTRO etc). We talk about our own experiences finding the right daycare and how we navigated the adjustment of being by their side all day to jumping back into our careers and all the fun little things no one tells you about daycare. Then later in the episode, we talk to Sh*tter Sally,...

Can Your Friendship Survive Your Baby?

There's a reason hit TV shows like Sex & The City, Friends and Seinfeld are so popular - they're all centered around the importance of friendship and how intrical they are to our livelihood. After Kel opened up about her own friendship breakdown earlier in the season, we were inundated with other Sh*tters sharing their own stories of friendship heartache. So in todays ep, we're unpacking this subject a little further and workshopping ways we can potentially avoid these 'breakups'. Then later...

The First Time

Parenthood comes with a whole bunch of 'firsts' - first giggle, first night away from your baby, your first Christmas together. Most of them are beautiful, some of them are challenging and a few of them don't quite turn out the way you’d imagined. In this episode Kel and Kee break down some of the big 'first' moments with their bubs, how they got through them and what they’d do differently next time.

Food Will Be Fun (They Said)

When it comes to feeding our babies there is so much information out there - when to wean off milk, when to introduce solids, what foods to stay away from... it can all be a bit much. So today we're discussing our approach to feeding our little ones, when we knew it was time to introduce new foods & how we stayed calm through the whole process. Then later in the ep, we chat to Sh*tter Gemma who's one of those people that when she does something, she'll do it perfectly. Gem unpacks the differ...

Fkn Milestones

Milestones can cause pure panic for parents, especially first-timers. Designed as a guide to track whether a child's development is on track, the truth of it is they leave us feeling smug if the kid is miles ahead and like we’re failing if they’re nowhere near. In this ep, we breakdown the milestones that freaked us out the most & how we dealt with the pressure of 'the timeline'. Then later in the ep, we have a lovely Sh*tter, Beth joining us for a chat. Beth is a mother of 3 young boys (wit...

When Resentment Takes Over

When we asked our Sh*tters what they wanted us to talk about on the pod, 'resentment' was one of the most highly requested topics. As it turns out, MANY of us can’t stand the person we had a child with and around 1 in 5 couples call it quits within the first 12 months of becoming parents. So today we're putting it all on the table - we chat through key moments that leave us feeling resentful and how we (try to) tackle resentment in a healthy way. Then later on, we chat to Sh*tter, Lauren who lef...

Friendship Heartbreaks

Friendships can move and change so much in that first year of motherhood, and sometimes the friends you had pre-baby quickly fall to the wayside. Today we're chatting about the importance of having a good crew around you, how to prioritise your friendships while juggling newborns and how to know if a mothers group is right for you. Then later in the ep, Kel opens up about a recent friendship heartbreak she experienced and the toll it took on her both physically and emotionally. HOSTS & PRODU...

Tricky Family Dynamics

In this episode, hosts Kel & Kee unpack the important roles of the wider family, specifically for new parents. Kee opens up about her experience being estranged from her parents & having to navigate motherhood without a mother figure to look up to. Then later in the ep, we chat with Shitter from NZ, Elle Chrisp who opens up about the frustrations that come when parents live nearby, but are nowhere near as involved as you’d imagined.

Fed Is Best: Breastfeeding Doesn't Always Work

Newsflash, babies need to be fed. And the only thing you feed them for the first 4-6 months of their lives is milk. But it’s not as straightforward as society might have you believe. If you’re under the opinion that #breastisbest, you can leave now, because this podcast isn’t for you. We strongly believe that the only important thing is that your baby is actually getting fed, so whether that’s through breastfeeding, formula, mixed feeding or exclusively pumping, you’ve come to the right place.
