Welcome to Parenting Out Loud where if parents are thinking about it, we're talking about it.

On the show today, Jessie Stephens, Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks sit down to tackle;

Glam retreats: a cultural necessity for post-partum mums?
Why bedtime stories are being put to bed themselves.
How some dads forget their kids names, refuse to change a nappy or fail to RSVP — and why some women let them.
And, sleep divorces. Is this where intimacy gets put to rest, or a secret hack that's been misjudged?

Plus, in this week’s reccos:

🐣 Amelia is a fan of these Baby Origami wraps.
📚 Jessie solves a gift issue with a personalised book from Lucy and Co.
🧸 Stacey shares her obsession with magnetic tiles.
