On this episode of Mugs & Jugs, we are chatting about all the fabulous newborn toys we found for the 0-6 age group. If you’re putting together a baby registry or buying for someone who is expecting, you might want to consider one of these items. We’re each sharing our top 3 picks for a complete must-have list.

Today, we’re chatting about a number of momtroversies that we’ve come across during our brief (except for Dani) time as parents. From breastfeeding till your baby is 8, covering up to nurse, posting photos of your child online and foregoing vaccinations, there’s no topic we won’t discuss.

This week, we’re chatting about easing the transition with bringing baby home, trying to get time in with your fur-baby when human-baby is taking over all the time & dealing with your (sometimes) change-of-heart when it comes to raising babies with fur-babies.

This time, we’ve prepared 20 secret questions total that we are posing to each other and answering throughout the episode. We didn’t share the questions with each other before taping, so get ready for a pretty raw episode, including details on how nice Dani is, Sarah’s three favourite places in the world, Mel’s favourite part about herself & whether or not Britt would stay at home with Burke if she had the chance.

New mom-hood can be an overwhelming transition, and dealing with all the changes isn’t always the easiest. Today, we’re having a (somewhat) light-hearted discussion on hormones, sleep deprivation, baby blues, postpartum depression & accepting support.

What’s the deal with #dadbod?! We demand a hashtag that celebrates a mother’s body and everything it goes through to create & support a family! Enter, #mombod.

This week, we’re each taking turns sharing the one big thing that gives us mom guilt. After a couple episodes of light fluffy chatter and tons of laughter, we are digging deep, getting real, and dropping some #truthbombs. We hope you enjoy the raw mom-esty*.

Now that we’ve covered off a couple preliminary topics (introductions, birth stories, surviving infancy), we are starting to add some #realtalk to the momcast. This week we are discussing expectations vs. reality as we each transitioned into our new roles in parenthood, whether that’s from one child to two or from no children at all.

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by all 5 of us again as we make yet another list. This time, we’re discussing the things we couldn’t live without during the first three months as new moms. If you’re a new mom, expecting or have a ton of baby shower invites on your fridge, this is one you don’t want to miss.

In our second episode of Mugs & Jugs, we share the stories that made us mothers. Yes, it’s a birth story podcast. So Dad, thanks for the support, but you can sit this one out.

In this episode, you will meet the 5 women behind the microphone and discover our personal reasons for participating in this new endeavour. I apologize in advance for our loud laughing. Apparently when you get five women together with some Thai food and wine, loud laughing is inevitable.
