Episode 71: What’s your ‘17 diapers’ story?
Listen now
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. ❤️ Listen on Apple Podcasts https://loom.ly/zui5kX8 ❤️ Listen on Spotify https://loom.ly/ZuBk3N0 🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube https://loom.ly/JhNkXPs ☎️ Lifeline: 13 11 14 🎁 Enter the competition: https://sombelle.infantsleep.com.au/win ✅ If you’re ready to resolve your baby or toddler’s sleep and settling difficulties, join Sombelle! Members can submit questions to be answered on the podcast each week: https://sombelle.infantsleep.com.au/  ❤️ Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/infant.sleep.australia/ & https://www.instagram.com/brand.new.little.people/
