Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Angels, we're in the Ella era. Prepare for liftoff. welcome oh my god i'm so excited to be here today this is my first ever live podcast i don't know if you guys know that so i'd be lying if i said i wasn't a little bit nervous now we're all in the brand new baby bunting mentone store how unbelievable is this store have you guys had the chance to walk around yet and have a little look
If you haven't yet, you have to go to the mum's hangout spot. The private breastfeeding or feeding rooms in there, they're actually better than mine at home. But being here today, I actually feel like I am at home because I go to Baby Bunting at least once a week. The Baby Bunting stock takes sale as well. If you guys didn't know, it is officially happening right now.
I've been talking a lot about mum guilt recently and it is such a real thing. Like... working, even just going to the spa. Like I've done it once. I'm six and a half months postpartum and I went to, it's like a wellness hub, like sauna, ice bath. Anyway, I had a major anxiety attack in there. It was the first time I actually stopped and did something for myself.
And I feel like doing something like this today, being able to share the room with all of you guys, I actually don't have mum guilt right now because we're all here together. We're all new mums. Postpartum is wild. And I feel like we're all almost on similar eras right now, like four to seven months. Is that... Eight months? So we're like almost at the stage of like starting solids.
There's teething going on right now. Has anyone been up last night with a teether? It is actually scary. Like Pia's not really a crier and the screaming and crying that I'm experiencing at the moment and like not being able to actually soothe her is... It is very overwhelming. There's not really a solution. Do you guys have any like teething tips?
I know we're talking about solids today, but they kind of work hand in hand. I'm a prison hacker. Yeah, resin or formula isopole. Oh, yeah. Or the fruit in the... Okay, that is a good one. I actually haven't been doing that. But I did that like a week ago and I've actually forgotten to be... Yeah, that's... Okay, I'm going to try that one. And there's that... Wellita, the teething powder?
Try that, yeah. Okay, so I feel like that is working a little bit. And she's got like a teething toy that's a banana shape. Anyway, that's very off topic. Okay. But I did want to thank all of you guys for being here. So you won your seats. And as you know, there's a gift voucher for you guys to spend in the Baby Bunting store.
And also one of you are going to be winning a freaking epic pram, which is crazy. So we will be doing that at the end. Now, I do want to share as well on... the podcast, you'd do a bit of a mum update. And the most commonly asked question I get, I don't know about you guys with your friends, but I get asked, what are the baby essentials?
Because obviously being in this store, like there's a lot of stuff, right? It is overwhelming. I I got so much unnecessary things. Like the stuff is everywhere. And there is really nothing aesthetic about a home, I think, once you have a baby. Like this stuff is everywhere.

Chapter 2: What are the differences between choking and gagging?
Like the height of the bed. Who knew that like being able to get in and out of bed was so important for recovery? I didn't know that. I didn't consider that. And the changing station as well, like too low, too high. recovering from the incision, like it still gives me like the heebie-jeebies when I think about the feeling the incision was, you know, having for those sort of six weeks.
People say that you'll forget about the feeling. So they're all lying. Because I'm six and a half months postpartum and I can still remember the burning sensation like it was yesterday. And I will never forget. And when that time comes for baby number two, the changing station set up is crucial. Because when dad goes back to work, he was three weeks postpartum, me postpartum.
And yeah, I had to change the nappies whilst healing. And it was fantastic. painful and you know I stopped taking the pain relief and you just feel every tug and pull on the skin and it was just like shit I need a yeah future changing station having it fully stocked and ready to go that is essential. That was a really long recommendation of things to have set up.
So take note if you are listening, but did you guys have anything? Did I miss something?
The baby carrier.
Oh, the baby carrier. A hundred percent. I didn't actually start using that till about six to eight weeks. Only because of the incision. I did put it on and then I was like, ooh, I don't know if this is, because like that band sits kind of right there. So I couldn't use that for a little bit, but that's a good shout because I know a lot of babies only really nap when they're under.
Especially if it's the second, they don't run after. Yep, yep, definitely. I have heard. So the baby carrier is definitely an essential. Okay, now for the mama. Like the list obviously can go on, but I've sort of narrowed it down. if I had to choose my top products. Now, obviously the baby, first things first is nappies. For mum, first things first was the nappies. What a scene. What a sight.
I think that these days can really, I wouldn't say make or break your relationship, but your partner really sees you in a way that, yeah, you don't imagine. And like, yes, we imagine we're going to have kids one day with the love of our life or with our partner, whoever it might be. But we don't imagine what that actually looks like.
And when I looked at myself in the mirror in those early days, even in hospital with my nappy on, I'm like, wow, he has seen some shit, quite literally. He had to change my nappy. I couldn't bend over. He had to help me like getting dressed and undressed, showering. Like it is actually crazy. It is actually crazy. the way that that support person sees you.
