Description
Let’s talk about the ‘17 diapers’ trend happening on TikTok. Hannah is a mum who posted a video counting the number of dirty diapers she could find lying around her house. She found 17. She has a newborn and a toddler, so that’s probably 1 days’ worth of dirty nappies. Most would find this normal and unsurprising, but over 10,000 people jumped on her post to leave nasty comments criticising her parenting.
Thankfully, that wasn’t the end of it. An army of mums came to Hannah’s rescue, creating their own videos describing what their own version of ‘17 diapers’ looked like. TikTok was flooded with videos highlighting the incredibly difficult time that postpartum is for mothers and the sense of comradery this created, was awesome.
In this week’s episode of Brand New Little People, Dr Fallon and Dr Laura discuss their own ‘17 diaper’ stories, and answer questions submitted by parent members of the Sombelle Paediatric Sleep Clinic Programs.
Remember! Talk about your own experiences with the mothers around you – so no tired mum feels shamed, or alone.

New parents are told to expect their sleep to change forever—but nothing truly prepares you for the reality of caring for a precious new life on such fragmented sleep. After the blur of the early weeks and months, many parents find themselves ready to make adjustments to where, when, and how...
