    Crap Advice: The Travel Experiment

    Crap Advice: The Travel Experiment

    Hey mama's, long time no unhelpful advice.
    Before season two of The Baby Bubble kicks off we must address an urgent listener dilemma regarding a subject that we feel quite qualified to speak on at the moment... travel!
    From an onboard crèche to unwilling travel companions we've got covered... mama!

    The Six Month Check Up No Mum Asked For

    The Six Month Check Up No Mum Asked For

    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…

    I Tried To Leave The House And Now Everyone's Crying

    I Tried To Leave The House And Now Everyone's Crying

    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).

    Sorry But… Were You Always This Incompetent?

    Sorry But… Were You Always This Incompetent?

    He doesn't feel any guilt about outsourcing. I feel guilt about everything.
    We thought we had a pretty good grasp on who we were entering parenthood with... that was, until they had to execute the parenting part.And look, bless their cotton socks for trying, but we have some notes…

    "Sleep And Routines And HAHAHAHAHA"

    "Sleep And Routines And HAHAHAHAHA"

    There are two questions every new parent dreads... Are you in a routine yet? How’s the baby sleeping?Bedtimes, routines and the idea of sleeping through the night all feel like wild west concepts while you’re in the baby bubble.
    And we might just have to holster our weapons for this unwinnable battle.

    Find Your Village & Get The F**k Out Of My House

    Find Your Village & Get The F**k Out Of My House

    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.

Laugh Out Loud Funny

I have 5 kids, my youngest is seven, and I have ZERO interest in ever growing another human in my body. I am so far away from the newborn stage, but I will listen to literally every single episode of this show. Jessie and Clare, you ladies are beyond funny, so honest and real, and one of the absolute joys of my life. I am a super fan of you both. You are 100% what mums and non-mums alike need in their ears. Keep up the good work!!!!

Finally a relatable parenting podcast

Thoroughly enjoying this and can relate to everything being a first time mum! Great dynamic between the hosts and love the two different experiences they offer. Please extend it longer than 12 weeks!!!

erinac23 ,

Can’t we have both seasons!?

Excited to hear Jessie and Clare but can’t we have Zoe and Sean’s episodes too!??! Why did they have to be deleted? Same with “Hello Bump” - it’s good to hear Jessie and Luca but Bec Judd’s season was completely different. Please reconsider not having these available!!! Again - love hearing from Jessie but can’t we hear from others AS WELL as Jessie?
