This week, we have a long list of wild newborn-life stories and one of the funniest parent news stories to date. From sleep deprivation to wild postpartum rage - there are a lot of stories here to relate to and more to laugh with.

To kick off, we apologize for another Bluey World episode delay (it'll come one day, won't it, Sam?) before catching up with our yay and nays. Bec is yaying getting more sleep cos the 4yo has chosen daddy as his pillow, and naying the kids' funny playground coverup. Sam is naying his new hand splint and the youngest child's reaction to it, and yaying a funny kid conversation about the police.

Then we come to the answers to: What's your wildest story from the postpartum/newborn phase? The unhinged, sleep-deprived, and hilarious.

There are weird dreams, sleep deprivation, rocking the groceries, LOTS of crying, a fair bit of rage and throwing things, and forgetting the baby's name. Plus a very anonymous divorce lawyer and a Brittney Spears meltdown story. Get ready to laugh, cry and feel seen by these stories!

Got a good one to add? Send it to us!

We then have a dad fail, future Matilda's star story that makes us ask the question for next week: what's the worst injury your kid has caused you? (NOT birth-related - you automatically win with those!).

To round it out, we've got two parent news stories with a hilarious camp singalong that Bec can relate to, and the biggest, latest scoop - Frida's new Breastmilk Icecream - just like mom used to make.

Make sure you follow on socials to see the best bits, behind the scenes and extra funnies, and to see the questions we send out for future episodes!
