A parenting expert's caused a fuss by saying we should be asking our babies for consent before changing their nappies. Some parents are angry, but Holly's on board with the idea.

Plus, is asking party guests to give your toddlers cash in lieu of a gift uncool or genius?

And we speak to psychologist Jocelyn Brewer about how to deal with video-game-obsessed tweens.

This Glorious Mess

My Nappy, My Choice

Becoming a parent is undoubtedly one of the most life-changing experiences in the world. It’s full of unexpected surprises—both positive and challenging. It can also shift your sense of self in ways you might not anticipate, not only during those early months of sleepless nights and new routines but even years down the line.

In this week’s episode, Annaliese and Tegan talk about the times they felt they lost their identity and the moments that helped them rediscover it.

Plus, we check in on how parents around Australia are wrangling dinnertime!

Does Motherhood Define or Redefine You?

Mamamia’s executive editors, Clare and Jessie Stephens, host The Baby Bubble, a parenting podcast with a twist that dives into the absurdity and hilarity of those early newborn days. Do they offer helpful advice? Not at all. Are they even trying? Definitely not.

In this episode Clare and Jessie dish out some truly terrible travel advice. As seasoned parents with a few holidays under your belt, we're sure you’ll find it very relatable—and maybe even comforting!

So sit back, relax, have a laugh and welcome to the baby bubble.

Extra: Travelling With Children Is Traumatic

Before you become “Mum” or “Dad,” you're just you—with a first name, a spontaneous social life, and the freedom to pursue your career ambitions with no limits, even if that means sometimes working 20-hour days. That was the life of today's guest, Bec Bignell, before she became a parent.

Bec pushed herself to give 100% to both her career and her role as a parent, but eventually, the strain took its toll. Forced to pause, she reflected on the moments that truly brought her happiness and began to seek fulfilment on her own terms.

Read Bec's full Little Love Story here.
