Another Thing We're Doing Wrong

How elite is Ribena? Not a question. A fact. That purple nectar deserves a cultural revisit. No notes. Then things take a turn. Ham: yet another thing we’re apparently doing wrong as parents. Revz crashed out in the school group chat and honestly, we've all thought about it. One mildly passive aggressive message which begs the question when do the dads start volunteering for school events? Just wondering, because the mums are tired. Plus, Gem finally solves the mystery of her lifelong tablet-swallowing trauma, and DLs, there’s a 1 in 5 chance you’ve got the same issue.

Please not the park, again.

Another glimpse inside the utter chaos that is our deeply postpartum lives right now. Beth and Lilly unpack the glimmers and growing pains of life at home with very little babies — both starting to feel slightly ready to re-enter society while also being firmly in the trenches of newborn life. We also chat about the weird emotional pressure cooker that can be Mother’s Day — and if you finished the day feeling a little overstimulated, underwhelmed or strangely emotional… we completely get it. Lil has been experiencing the challenges of an unsettled baby and the girls hold hands and remind each other that yes this parts: equally normal, hard, magical and utterly mad. Plus our usual R&R recommendations because we’ll never stop trying to romanticise the trenches. Lilly found this podcast episode with Dr Eliza Hannam helpful for reassuring her on unsettled babies: Bloom with Body, Birth & Baby episode with Dr Eliza Hannam Lil’s current nervous system obsession: Krumbled Magnesium Hot Chocolate (Adding collagen because we’re trying to thrive, not just survive.) Use Beth’s code: BIRTHWITHBETH Beth’s recommendation: a postpartum wardrobe refresh. Nothing dramatic — just a few pieces that help you feel a tiny bit more like you when leaving the house with milk stains and two minutes of sleep. Beth’s Recipe: nourishing lemon chicken soup that’s freezer-friendly and genuinely delicious: Avgolemono Soup Recipe Huge thanks to ergoPouch for supporting the podcast this month. We are deep in our newborn cocoon era and leaning heavily on ergoPouch right now — from their beautiful swaddles and sleep suits to the cot sheets that somehow survive the endless overnight changes. We’re also obsessed with the Drift Away Sound Machine, which has become part of our entire nighttime rhythm. Use our code BIRTHWITHBETH for 20% off until the end of May. If this episode made you feel seen, send it to a mum friend who’s also somewhere between blissed out and barely holding it together 💛 And don’t forget to follow Growing wherever you listen to podcasts.

Episode 130: Rewards, punishments & Star Wars

Rewards and punishments are a part of daily life for anyone supporting children, sometimes consciously but often without us even realising. In this episode we discuss the developmental psychology behind them, how it can help us to guide our kids to healthier choices and behaviours and where we might be caught out ("it's a trap!"). We want them to choose the light side of the force by understanding the how, when and why of rewards and avoid pushing them towards the dark side through punishments, fear and control. We hope you like this episode and we can't wait to read your reflections, questions and advice about rewards and punishments in your own journey through the galaxy.

608 | Clare, Maternally Assisted Caesarean, Baby hearing loss, Endometriosis

In this week’s episode, I chat to Clare about her two planned caesarean births. Despite severe endometriosis, Clare fell pregnant easily and sailed through the first half of her pregnancy. However, at her 20 week scan she discovered that her baby had ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJ) and shortly afterwards, she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Her planned caesarean was straightforward but her recovery was not; extensive adhesions in her uterus caused a long and painful postpartum. She chose a private obstetrician for her second birth and jumped at the chance to have a maternal-assisted caesarean but nothing could prepare her for the shock of her baby’s hearing loss diagnosis at six weeks.

Is Having Choice With Childcare Too Much To Ask?

A Mother’s Day comment from the Minister for Women lit up every group chat in Australia: are we really being told the earlier our babies go into childcare, the better? Kee and Lize unpack the guilt, the impossible maths, the daycare scramble, and the quiet truth so many parents are living with - childcare isn’t the problem, but having no real choice is. Because “just go back to work” hits differently when the village is expensive, waitlisted, or doesn’t exist.

The School Holiday Rule & The Big Bluey Stuff Up

Naming a person is a challenge—but one Melbourne family has made their relatives compete for the privilege of a surname. This week Monz, Stacey and Amelia are talking about the Melbourne couple who settled their surname debate with a best-of-three rock-paper-scissors showdown. So, should we be making all family decisions via a game of competitive Jenga from now on? Plus, the school holiday rule that has parents feeling like they’re back in detention. Amelia shares the enormous effort she poured into an official essay just to take her kids overseas, as we debate if ‘world schooling’ is a genius move or just a recipe for burnout. Also, it’s the show that saved our collective sanity, but behind the scenes, Bluey is the focus of a billion-dollar financial mess. We dive into the trending story and explain the details the internet seems to be missing. And, why does Mother’s Day feel a little bit… off? We’re looking into the unexpected history of the holiday and why it’s okay if you’re feeling more ‘complicated’ than ‘celebratory’ this Sunday. Reccos Amelia recommends Caper Crew; as if The InBESTigators was directed by Wes Anderson. Monz is loving the ‘Parental Path’ video hack to capture your kids’ little voices before they grow up, plus it's a great last-minute Mother's Day gift. Stacey recommends the ‘Do It For Dolly’ campaign and the 13-DOLLY support line for any families navigating the gut-punch of school bullying. If you or anyone you know is struggling and needs to speak with an expert, please contact your GP or in Australia, contact Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) or Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), all of which provide trained counsellors you can talk with 24/7.
