The Baby Bubble
03/06/19 • 35 min
If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here.
Zoe’s thinking about getting back into the baby bubble and Sean is right there to remind her it’s REALLY HARD. He’s also got some great advice for how to save money when you’re looking after more than one baby.
Plus, should you post photos of your kids online? And if you do, should you only post the best moments? Or is it important to share the horror stories too?
And Sean opens up about his experience with post-natal depression as a father.

Getting It On, Post-Baby
The Baby Bubble
02/20/19 • 23 min
If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here.
Have you ever had a stranger try and kiss your baby? Or hold it’s hand with their germy fingers? Sean and Zoe have some advice for all those well-meaning strangers who insists on touching their kids uninvited.
Plus, do you have trouble saying no to your kids? Or are you too quick to yell without offering an explanation? Sean has some great advice for when and how to use the word “no” and why he thinks you should explain why you’re upset. Even if your kids are too little to understand.
How do you use the word “no” as a parent? Call us on the podphone, 02 8999 9386, because we’d love to know your thoughts.
And Zoe opens up (maybe a little too much) about how sex changes after you have a baby. She talks about the importance of getting your confidence back when so many things have changed. And why it’s totally okay to not be in the mood straight after the pregnancy ends.
It’s another week of oversharing you simply can’t miss...

When Your Baby Turns Violent
The Baby Bubble
02/13/19 • 27 min
If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here.
Things have gotten real comfy in the studio because Zoe Marshall is pumping...what a way to start the show!
Zoe shares her breast feeding experience but we know it’s not an easy journey for a lot of women so we’d love to hear from you. If you’ve had trouble breastfeeding or you just want to give advice to other women who might be finding it tough, please call our podphone on 02 8999 9386.
After Zoe has expressed, they tackle a real conundrum....should you teach your child to punch? What happens if you’ve taught them to use their words but they still get aggressive? Sean talks about Stella’s nasty habit of hitting Cooper and what you do when your daughter is more aggressive than your son. Do the same rules apply for boys and girls? We’d love to know your thoughts.
And we kick off a brand new segment: “Ask an Old Mum.” Where we call on a seasoned parenting veteran to help us with a question we’re dying to know the answer to. This week Sean asks Mia Freedman: How do you raise a strong, confident woman?
Oh, and Sean also has a dooooooozy of a poo story.
SO MUCH OVERSHARING! Don’t miss it...

How To Feed Your Baby Without A Blender
The Baby Bubble
01/30/19 • 26 min
If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here.
Welcome to the very first episode of The Baby Bubble with your hosts Zoe Marshall and Sean Szeps.
In this episode Zoe shares her feelings about parenting and admits she didn't always want to be a mum. But now she's OBSESSED. Sean talks about his experience with surogacy and why he asked his mum if she'd like to donate her eggs. He also talks about why him and his husband, Josh Szeps, decided to try for twins, even though that scares most potential parents.
They dive deep on baby led weaning. What is it and does it really work? Sean's twins have just eaten something with a fork and he's smug as hell. If your dream is to get your baby off puree'd mush you need to listen.
Zoe brags about the fact she had nine hours sleep the night before, which doesn't go down well since Sean only got an hour. But fear not, she doesn't have a miracle baby. It's all because of some strict sleep training.

Coming Soon: The Baby Bubble
The Baby Bubble
01/16/19 • 2 min
Are you no longer phased by going out in public with someone else’s vomit on your shoulder? Do you find yourself awake at 3 am, feeding the newest addition to your family thinking “Am I the only person alive right now? It’s so lonely!”
Then you are in the Baby Bubble and at Mamamia, we thought you might need a little company.
The Baby Bubble is the podcast for parents trying to behave like competent humans on two hours of sleep or for people who don’t have kids but are curious about what you do with tiny people who just poop and cry all day.
Each week join mum of one, Zoe Marshall and father of twins, Sean Szeps, for a no BS conversation about what to expect way after the expecting bit is over.
Think of this show as your lifeline in the witching hour, a place you can call when you’ve just got your baby to put something in its mouth instead of the floor or a warm set of audio arms that are here to wrap you up when you’re losing your mind and tell you “it’s going to be ok!”
The Baby Bubble is the latest show from Mamamia podcasts and it’s hitting your ears January 31st.

I Tried To Leave The House And Now Everyone's Crying
The Baby Bubble
05/29/24 • 25 min
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).

OK, We Need To Debrief About The First Post-Birth Shower
The Baby Bubble
04/24/24 • 23 min
Just because you had a baby, doesn’t mean Barbie didn’t just come out.
You know what’s a totally fun and not at all terrifying experience? Taking your first dump after giving birth.
It can basically only be topped by your first post-birth shower, which looks more like a crime scene than a shampoo commercial.
Today we’re debriefing on the many firsts that come after birthing your bub, including Jessie’s pilgrimage to the Barbie movie.

The Six Month Check Up No Mum Asked For
The Baby Bubble
06/05/24 • 27 min
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...
