    Postpartum Confessions: Baby Sleep, Bottle Refusal, Separation Anxiety, Scary Toddlers

    This week Taylor and Natasha get real about the messy, unfiltered parts of motherhood — starting with a flight-from-hell travel story that has them questioning airline policy for parents flying solo with toddlers. They dig into bottle refusal and why it's more common (and less talked about) than people think, plus what it means for moms heading back to work. They also cover postpartum hair loss — including why it happens to an estimated 90% of postpartum moms — and its surprising links to postpartum anxiety and insomnia. Also on the table: surviving the first week of back-to-school separation anxiety, toddler car seat meltdowns, pacifier weaning struggles, and their take on the Anne Hathaway pregnancy bump backlash. As always, it's evidence-informed, honest, and two moms figuring it out in real time. Topics covered: bottle refusal, postpartum hair loss, 4-month sleep regression, toddler separation anxiety, back-to-school transitions, co-sleeping to crib transition, toddler tantrums, pacifier weaning, postpartum body image, mom friendships XX, Natasha & Taylor

    My Positive Elective Induction & Epidural Birth Story: Reflections for Expecting Moms

    Taylor's out this week (she's in Hawai'i for a friend's wedding 🌺), so Natasha is flying solo to share her first birth story — from a hyperemesis gravidarum pregnancy through weeks of prodromal labor, an elective 39-week induction, Cytotec, Pitocin, an epidural at 5cm, and a sunny-side-up baby who needed to be flipped before pushing. In this episode, Natasha covers: What hyperemesis gravidarum actually is (and how it was mismanaged for her)Weeks of prodromal labor and why does no one warn you about it??How an "elective induction" scheduling actually works (spoiler: it's not really scheduled)The Cytotec → Pitocin → epidural timelineGetting flipped by nurses on hands and knees (baby was sunny-side up)Postpartum pain after an epidural birth vs. her later unmedicated birthEarly breastfeeding struggles that pushed her toward becoming a lactation consultantHer honest answer to "would you choose induction again?" This is a positive birth story — not a scary one!! 🎧 New episodes every Thursday📩 Send us your questions — DM us or drop them wherever you listen⭐ If this helped you, a 5-star rating helps more moms find the show XX, Natasha & Taylor

    Hot Mom Summer: Sick While Nursing, Lap Infants & Nursery Regrets

    It's giving hot takes. This week Taylor and Natasha get into everything that makes summer with kids chaotic — starting with what actually happens when you're sick while breastfeeding (and what over-the-counter meds can do to your supply). Natasha breaks down the real hierarchy of allergy meds for nursing moms, and how nobody talks about milk supply the way they talk about baby safety. Then: Natasha got her palm read at a 4th of July carnival and asked if she should have a third kid. The answer? Not exactly reassuring. We get into it. Plus — travel season hot takes: lap infant age cutoff at age 2, why nursing chairs is one of the biggest scams in baby gear, and we are preparing you for the reality of road-tripping or flying with babies & toddlers. And in momTALK: a mother-in-law shows up two days postpartum with a very bold request about the baby's name. Grab your reheated coffee and get comfy — this one's a ride. 🎧💬 Share this with your group chat, or any mom who needs it. See you next Thursday on the couch. XX, Natasha & Taylor

    Epidurals & The Cascade of Birth Interventions: What You Can Control

    70%+ women in the U.S. get the epidural during childbirth. This week we're breaking down the "cascade of interventions": the risks that don't show up on the standard epidural risk list, and what you can actually do about them. We talk dosage and timing, movement, IV fluids, immediate skin-to-skin, and why informed consent — not "natural vs. medicated" — is the real goal. Plus: a hot take on the "your baby is huge" induction scare and the stats on the margin of error on those ultrasounds. We cover: - What's actually on ACOG's epidural risk list vs. what's correlated but rarely discussed - Dosage and timing: why when you get the epidural changes your birth trajectory - Movement and positioning tips with an epidural and why it matters- Why immediate skin-to-skin matters for breastfeeding and postpartum recovery - How IV fluids can affect newborn weight loss, swelling, and early latch - A listener question on "big baby" induction scares - and the real margin of error on ultrasound weight estimates This episode isn't about whether you should or shouldn't get an epidural - it's about informed consent. If you want one, here's how to make choices along the way that align with what actually matters to you.

    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
