If you hadn't heard, babies generate a lot of waste. Like, more waste than we care to admit. So naturally swinging from one extreme (environmental disaster) to another (zero waste) should be a seamless, obvious choice, right? WRONG. This week Veronica Milsom reminds us about the time she tried to raise her second baby... waste free. Warning: this episode contains something called elimination communication (look, idk...)

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 sleep deprivation tantrum or two in her time. T HE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to more episodes ...

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 of The Baby Bubble here CREDITS Hosts: Clare Stephens & Jessie Stephens Producer: Taylah Strano Au...

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 BITS Subscribe to Mamamia Listen to more episodes of The Baby Bubble here CREDITS Hosts: Clare Stephens ...

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.

It can basically only be topped by your first post-birth shower, which looks more like a crime scene than a shampoo commercial.

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 importantly... what were their first impressions of us?
