After experiencing heartbreak, is it better to tell the boss or cry privately in the bathroom? We discuss ‘heartbreak leave’ and why Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s day off has sparked debate.
Plus, leave the babies alone! Paris Hilton is not happy about the trolls commenting on her baby son, which has us asking, what else should we avoid saying about babies?
And, we wrap up our best and worst of the week which include a petition about formal dates, Gwyneth Paltrow and donuts…again.

Outlouders, we're on the home stretch for Season 1 of The Baby Bubble, so let us revisit one of the many pearls of wisdom handed down by Jessie & Clare.
Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding or dare we say it bottle feeding, everyone’s got an opinion on how to do it better.
The fun thing about giving your baby nutrients is that it’s uniquely cooked for every individual.
And don’t even get us started on breast pumps.

This week, a deadly air strike in Rafah in southern Gaza killed at least 45 Palestinians and wounded dozens of others. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has referred to what happened as a “tragic mishap”, and yet, emerging reports indicate that such an attack has happened again. We discuss the recent horrors of what happened and the world's response.
And, a woman who ran a half-marathon has gone viral, after her husband ushered their kids into her path just as she was about to win. We unpack how wrong the internet's reaction was and why it reminds us a little of Taylor Swift. 
Plus, Generation Alpha have officially entered the chat and everything’s "skibidi toilet". Confused? Don't worry, we explain.
