    Co-Sleeping & Safe Sleep: The Impossible Decisions of Motherhood

    Co-sleeping is one of the most emotional, controversial, and misunderstood topics in modern motherhood and most parents aren’t getting the full picture. In this episode, we break down what co-sleeping actually means, why over 60% of mothers report doing it at some point, and what the research really says about safety, risk, and the famous Safe Sleep Seven. We also talk about the cultural history behind Western sleep norms, why parents feel pressure to lie to pediatricians, and how social media has made infant sleep more stressful than ever. This is not a “do this or else” episode. It’s an education-first, judgment-free conversation about how families make impossible decisions when they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and just trying to keep everyone safe and rested. If you’ve ever Googled baby sleep at 3am, this episode is for you. We cover: The difference between co-sleeping, bedsharing, and room-sharing Safe vs unsafe sleep environments The science behind breastfeeding + sleep proximity How temperament affects infant sleep Why motherhood decisions aren’t black and white Our goal: less shame, more information, and parents who feel empowered instead of afraid.

    The Decision To Become A Mother, Teething Myths & What Not To Say To A First Time Mom

    In this episode of Mom’s Interrupted, Taylor and Natasha cover the “greatest hits” of early parenthood: how to know if you want to be a mom, how to set realistic expectations for the newborn/toddler years, and why certainty isn’t required to be a great parent. Then we get into teething—what’s real vs. myth (fever, diarrhea, sleep), what actually helps, and why the teething industry can feel so predatory. We wrap with a laugh-cry list of what not to say to pregnant women and new moms—and what to say instead. XX, Natasha & Taylor

    Predatory Marketing in Pregnancy & Motherhood

    In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar industry built on maternal insecurity. From prenatals to formula to postpartum “bounce back” programs, we unpack how marketing to moms is often less about evidence and more about emotion. We talk about the history of formula advertising, the WHO Code of Marketing Breastmilk Substitutes, and why many of the tactics we see every day are actually illegal in other countries. We dig into GLP-1 and weight-loss marketing aimed at postpartum women, “datafied parenting,” influencer culture, and how fear-based messaging convinces moms they’re doing it wrong unless they buy the right product. Most importantly, we talk about how women are increasingly being marketed to by other women and how “helping moms” has quietly turned into a very profitable business model. Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized, targeted, manipulated by predatory marketing. XX, Natasha

    The Third Trimester: Pregnancy Insomnia, Changing Your Care Team and Surviving It All

    Pregnancy is a marathon, not a sprint—and the third trimester can feel like the longest mile. In this episode, we get real about the final stretch of pregnancy: the insomnia, the discomfort, the emotional rollercoaster, and the constant question of “how do people actually enjoy this?!” We talk about how boy and girl pregnancies can feel totally different, navigating changing symptoms, and learning to listen to your intuition when something doesn’t feel right. From cervical checks to switching providers, we dive into what good care should look like—and why it’s completely okay to shop around for a care team that truly supports you. We also get honest about the mental side of pregnancy: the weirdness of your body not fully feeling like your own, the pressure to “prepare for everything,” and the overwhelm of buying way too much stuff. Plus, practical topics like harvesting colostrum, meal prepping for postpartum, and what’s actually helpful versus just more noise. And of course, we debate the ultimate pregnancy question: what’s worse—first trimester nausea or third trimester discomfort? If you’re in the thick of it (or just trying to survive it all), this episode is for you. 💛 XX, Natasha & Taylor

    Moms Vs. Potty Training

    Potty training is the milestone that makes you question everything: your patience, your flooring choices, and why your kid suddenly has unlimited access to the toilet (and your bronzer 😭). In this episode, we talk about how we’re approaching potty training in real life — the wins, the chaos, the “three-day method” pressure, and why we think the whole “readiness” conversation has gotten wildly overcomplicated. We get into why so many parents feel set up to fail, what helped us chill out, how long it actually takes, and why overnight potty training is a totally separate beast. We cover: One nap vs two naps (and why “24-hour sleep” matters more than the schedule) The real first steps of potty training (without the perfectionism) Underwear too early = confusing (sometimes) Why “3 days” is often a lie (and what to expect instead) Accidents in public, beach pee, and normalizing the chaos Diaper industry, marketing, and why potty training age has changed Overnights + naps: when to keep the diaper and why it’s normal If you’re in the thick of it, about to start, or spiraling because your kid didn’t follow the internet playbook — this one’s for you. No shame, no pressure… and probably a reminder to lock up your makeup. XX, Natasha & Taylor

    Postpartum Support: What Mom's Actually Need

    Postpartum isn’t only about being a good dad — it’s about being a good partner. In this episode, we’re talking directly to partners (and the moms who want to send this to them) about what actually helps in the postpartum season — and what doesn’t. We cover what dads should expect after birth, how to truly support a postpartum mom, and why this season isn’t about doing everything “right,” but about showing up in the ways that matter. We talk about: Why things said in the middle of the night don’t count the next day 😅 Whether dads should take the baby to pediatrician appointments Why we need to stop enabling husbands — they are fully capable Letting go of “he’s not doing it the right way (aka your way)” The real value of rest and only taking care of baby in postpartum Why moms shouldn’t feel guilty for “not doing enough” How dads can take ownership of scheduling, check-ins, and emotional support Postpartum sex, changing needs, and honest communication And why postpartum is less about being a great father and more about being a great partner If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or want your partner to truly understand what support looks like after a baby — this is the episode to send them.
