This summer we've curated your Baby Bubble playlist with a healthy dose of culture-savvy conversation parents actually want - Parenting Out Loud. 

On the show today, Jessie Stephens, Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks sit down to tackle;
Glam retreats: a cultural necessity for post-partum mums?
Why bedtime stories are being put to bed themselves. 
How some dads forget their kids names, refuse to change a nappy or fail to RSVP — and why some women let them.
And, sleep divorces. Is this where intimacy gets put to rest, or a secret hack that's been misjudged?  

Plus, in this week’s reccos:

🐣 Amelia is a fan of these Baby Origami wraps.
📚 Jessie solves a gift issue with a personalised book from Lucy and Co.
🧸 Stacey shares her obsession with magnetic tiles.

What to read: 
Um. Couples are getting 'sleep divorces' and it sounds... brutal.
'I was reading bedtime stories with a glass of wine. A question from my son stopped me in my tracks.'
'My toddler’s bedtime is always chaotic. Here's a recap of the new routine we tried for a week.'
We asked dads what one thing makes them feel the most parenting guilt. It's not what you'd expect.
"Reading bedtime stories." 30 parents share the one thing they really hate doing with their kids.
'My mum encouraged me to go to a place where "mothers are mothered". It cost $5,000.'
‘Why I spent 40 days at home after giving birth.’

THE END BITS: 

Mamamia studios are styled with furniture from Fenton and Fenton

The Baby Bubble, hosted by twins Jessie and Clare Stephens (who had their first babies just 6 months apart), dives into the absurdity and hilarity of the first few months of newborn life.

If you’re looking for advice you’ve come to the wrong place, but if you want someone to crawl down into the chaos with you, we’re already here and the water is great!
