Beyond the Bump

For this Bumpie Group Chat, we agree there is never a right time to see an unsolicited p*nis, wonder if our dance moves are daggy and ask how Sophie ended up in the algorithm of stale, pale white males. We discuss…

Sophie said yes to an impromptu primary school disco 

The Mum Jig - are we daggy dancers now?

The rollercoaster of teenagers (and a sneaky TikTok)

Sophie ended up on the gross side of the algorithm

Dumb phones and technology disconnect

Sexualisation in music videos and explaining it to kids

Your kids see an inappropriate scene when you’re watching a movie - what do you do?

Gasbagging, teabagging - same, same?

For this episode of our Newborn Mini Series, The First 365, we speak to Renee Jennings, a dietitian, mum of two and women’s health nutrition expert, to ask what are the TOP 5 things all new parents should know about postpartum nutrition. Renee cuts through the noise of the nutrition world to give us research-backed, bite-sized (pun intended) facts and tips for newborn mums. We discuss…

Focusing on eating enough rather than eating ‘perfectly’

The huge nutrient requirements needed to heal and nurture our bodies and babies

Easy ideas for nutritious snacks and ways to boost nutrients in meals

Postpartum is not the season for weightloss

Does breastfeeding make you lose weight?

The importance of supplements when you’re postpartum

Postpartum depletion

How do you know if you are depleted?

Ask for help if you’re not feeling well

Moving from deficient to within range to optimal

Is protein over-hyped? 

The power of fibre

Boarding school might seem like a mysterious schooling option - maybe you wondered about it, fantasised about it or your parents threatened you with it! We speak to the hilarious and wise Amanda Ferrari who shares her journey marrying into a farming family, raising children in rural Australia and her family’s boarding school experience. Through her work with The Boarding School Collective, she is breaking down barriers and connecting schools with families. In this fantastic chat, we discuss…

How Amanda ended up in a rural town married to a farmer 

From friends with benefits to an unexpected pregnancy

Premature labour, solitary confinement and giving birth to twins alone

Being married to a farmer who is wedded to the land

Finding small glimmers in the depths of depression 

Why do people choose boarding schools? 

The grief and emotion in sending children to boarding school

The Boarding School Collective connects schools with families to educate and familiarise families who have a lot of questions

“It’s okay to move schools if your child needs it” 

What does a boarding school provide? 

The highs and lows of boarding school

Amanda’s perimenopause and menopause experience

Trying HRT, mental health and the importance of mindset and humour

After a few failed recording attempts, we are back on the mic and catching up on where we are at. We are both feeling a bit stretched but we know you’re in it with us, Bumpies. To lighten the mood, we laugh about the dumb sh*t we did as teenagers… and how we will definitely not be letting our kids do the same! We’re chatting…

How Pearl’s second week of drop offs has been hard

Jayde takes back what she said - parenting teens is A LOT

“Leaning on in to tap the eff out”

How negative feedback can take a toll on your mindset

When you’re doing so much but feel like like none of it is good enough

When are we spending time with our partner!?

Sophie is petitioning for 5am dates

What type of teenager were you? 

“I’m a cool mom!” Buying drinks and boy sleepovers

Sharing our crazy teenage memories, plus stories Bumpies sent in

For this episode of our Newborn Mini Series, The First 365, we speak to Nicole Pates, paediatric physiotherapist, to ask what are the TOP 5 things all new parents should know about physical milestones in the first year of life. With over 15 years as a physio plus lived experience as a mum, Nicole provides information, reassurance and tips that help cut through all the noise and ‘shoulds’. We discuss…

Every baby is totally unique

Milestone expectations are spread across a large time period, not a set date

Early intervention leads to better outcomes

Crawling, bum-shuffling and the wide variety of physical skills

Do walkers and jumpers actually help babies learn to walk? 

Should babies show a dominant hand?

The noise around “shoulds” of milestones

Play! The importance of play

Temperament, security and exploring learning opportunities

Plastic toys vs wooden toys - is one better than the other?

Connection before correction
