Content Warning: This episode discusses themes that may be upsetting. We discuss postpartum depression and psychosis, suicidal ideation, overdose, severe mental health issues and disassociation. Listener discretion is advised.  The postpartum period can be one of the most isolating and lonely times of someone's life. You've just grown and birthed an entire human, your hormones are all over the shop, and you're keeping your little one alive while sleep deprived and trying to remember the person you once were. It's often not a great recipe, yet we're still sold the idea of bliss being wrapped up in a 'newborn bubble'.  In this episode of eat, sleep, sh*t, repeat, Kel and Kee discuss their own experiences with postpartum mental health and chat with someone whose experience led her to a psychiatric facility only weeks post-birth. This is an honest and raw conversation; let it remind you that you're never alone.  If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs help now, call triple zero (000). You can also call Lifeline on 13 11 14 — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) supports women, men and families across Australia affected by anxiety and depression during pregnancy and in the first year of parenthood.

Newsflash, babies need to be fed. And the only thing you feed them for the first 4-6 months of their lives is milk. But it’s not as straightforward as society might have you believe. If you’re under the opinion that #breastisbest, you can leave now, because this podcast isn’t for you. We strongly believe that the only important thing is that your baby is actually getting fed, so whether that’s through breastfeeding, formula, mixed feeding or exclusively pumping, you’ve come to the right place. Your hosts Kel and Kee share their own experiences feeding their babies, then we hear from mum of 3, Sara, who had 3 wildly different feeding experiences.

Were you once a sexually ravenous beast but postpartum, the idea of intimacy makes you want to go through labour again? Or did your body change so much you feel disconnected from it? Maybe you’re hornier than ever but things aren’t working the way they used to? In today’s episode, Kel and Kee discuss sex with a vulnerable and open manner you won’t hear anywhere else. Plus, they were lucky enough to be joined by a listener who shared her experience of birthing vaginally.
