Motherhood Sessions

I’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast, but is there more episodes coming? I hope so.... It’s been interesting listening to other mothers express what some mothers only think, but don’t say.

What happened to this podcast? I listened to all stories and loved it! I sometimes check, hoping to find new more episodes, but since March nothing was added.

In the episode talking to the couple about not having sex for two years, there’s quite a bit of shaming and quite honestly rude attitude towards this mother for wanting to breastfeed longer and co sleep. To all the moms that want to breastfeed longer than a year and want to co sleep: PLENTY OF PEOPLE DO IT AND STILL HAVE A HEALTHY SEX LIFE. please don’t let this woman make you feel ashamed for it. That’s really unfortunate.

In many instances Dr. Sacks missed the mark. In one episode about a couple not having sex for two years she blames it on breastfeeding and bed sharing. We know this isn’t the reason because there are many who bed share and have more than one child! You can have sex on other places besides a bed?? Weird considering the research that she would recommend to stop breastfeeding and stop cosleeping which are two huuuge factors that contribute to the well being of a child. In another episode she talks about how she “had talked to 10 moms this week” and they all let their kids watch iPads so they could cook dinner. Again a huuuuge place she missed the mark. These moms were coming to her stressed out because they couldn’t get things done and she told them to continue something that would just keep repeating the cycle. Many studies have been done and when a child has something think for them instead of having to use their imagination when they are bored they slowly become less and less content! Aka moms feel they have to work to entertain the children becoming more and more stressed out.
