    Predatory Marketing: Pregnant or a First-Time Mom? Watch This Before You Buy

    Are you try to conceive? Pregnant? A first-time mom? A mom of multiple kids? Do you feel like you're being bombarded with products you "MUST HAVE"? You're not imagining it. This week Taylor and Natasha dig even deeper into predatory marketing in womanhood, pregnancy and motherhood — the ByHeart and Nara Organics formula recalls, the FDA warning letter to the SNOO's maker, weighted sleep sacks, the Owlet, strollers, car seats, and the products marketed to fix "problems" that are actually just normal baby behavior. We name names, share what we fell for ourselves, and talk about what's actually evidence-based vs. what's just good marketing.

    Pacifiers and Screen Time: The Evidence vs. Reality

    Pacifiers and screen time — two topics that somehow turn every mom group into a courtroom. In this episode Natasha (CLC & IBCLC candidate) and Taylor (Lamaze-certified childbirth educator, doula & lactation counselor) and both moms of two under 5, break down what the evidence actually says, and cut through the noise. On pacifiers: does pacifier use impact breastfeeding and milk supply? What does the AAP actually recommend? Can pacifiers reduce the risk of SIDS and do breastfed babies need them? Plus: nipple confusion, palate development, and evidence backed weaning recommendations. On screen time: what changed between the AAP's 1999 guidelines and today, the 18-month turning point, why background TV matters more than most parents realize, and why the guilt around screen time ignores a much bigger systemic problem. No judgment here - just evidence, nuance, and two moms trying to find balance while figuring it out in real time. Topics: pacifier use and breastfeeding · SIDS reduction · pacifier weaning · screen time guidelines · toddler screen time · mom guilt · evidence-based parenting XX, Taylor & Natasha

    The History of Birth: What Nobody Teaches Us About Pain, Interventions & Social Trends

    Birth has always been political — and the history proves it. In this episode, Natasha and Taylor walk through the moments that shaped modern childbirth: from forceps kept secret for generations and twilight sleep women marched in the streets for, to the smear campaign against midwives, Victoria Beckham's "too posh to push" media spiral, and why we're still giving birth flat on our backs. Plus: what changed after thalidomide, the episiotomy data ACOG doesn't lead with, and the latest invention in childbirht: the OdonAssist. Evidence-based and yes — there's a chainsaw.

    Finding Your Care Team, Colostrum Harvesting & Combo Feeding Guilt

    Finding a doctor & team you trust & vibe with during pregnancy and postpartum is harder than it should be - this week we're breaking down exactly how to find an OB, midwife, pediatrician, or doula who listens to you, what we've walked away from, and why the office system matters just as much as the provider itself. We're also getting into the colostrum harvesting - is it evidence-based or just social media trend? What does harvesting colostrum before birth actually do, and who does it make sense for? We break down the clinical side so you can make an informed decision. Plus combo feeding guilt — 87% of parents end up combo feeding, so if you're struggling, you are not alone. We cover the real clinical reasons for under supply, what actually affects your breastfeeding journey, and why formula is never a moral failure.

    How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids: Marriage, Motherhood & the Postpartum Shift

    This week on Moms Interrupted, Natasha and Taylor dive into How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids by Jancee Dunn — and honestly? It's the book every pregnant mom and dad need to read before the baby arrives. They break down why relationships shift so dramatically after kids, who's really doing the mental load at home, and why the "helping" language needs to go. Plus: the dishwasher personality types that are apparently causing couples to fight, why weekends with kids hit different, and how delegating (for real) can change everything. They also get into postpartum round two being harder physically but easier mentally, the pressure to show up in the world before you're ready, and why the nuclear family model might be at the root of it all. If you've ever wondered why you and your partner feel like strangers after having a baby - this one's for you. Topics covered: postpartum relationships, mental load, division of labor, communication after kids, stay-at-home mom mental health, postpartum depression, nuclear family, couples therapy, baby's first birthday, and more.

    The Truth About Postpartum Sex & Workouts, Toddler Behavior + Natasha’s IBCLC Journey

Taylor answers listener questions about birth positions and how to prepare for an unmedicated hospital birth as a birth educator and doula - including why hiring a doula might be the single best decision you make (and why it's evidence based).We also respond to a moving momTALK voicemail from a listener working in neonatology who's newly pregnant and navigating serious pregnancy anxiety - and talk about why who and what you're surrounded with matters when it comes to worry during pregnancy.Plus: the dad bod double standard, changing table discourse part two, rushing your toddler with zero guilt, and the sneaky nighttime diaper slide hack.Topics covered:- Postpartum sex drive & the biology of why breastfeeding tanks your libido- Why lube is not optional - it's biology- The pumping pressure myth & breastfeeding without bottles- Natasha's IBCLC journey & what triple feeding actually is, as well as her experience with it- Best birth positions for medicated & unmedicated labor- How to prepare for an unmedicated hospital birth (hint: hire a doula)- Pregnancy and birth anxiety- Toddler park tantrum survival tips- Traveling with a babyXX,Natasha & Taylor
