Episode Finding Your Care Team, Colostrum Harvesting & Combo Feeding Guilt Cover

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. Topics covered this week: * How to find an OB, midwife, or pediatrician you trust & like * Colostrum harvesting pros and cons * Combo feeding and breastfeeding supply * Under supply — clinical causes and what to do * Postpartum depression and breastfeeding research * US maternal mental health report 2025 XX, Taylor & Natasha

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

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. XX, Natasha & Taylor

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

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

We're back on the couch with overflow from our 50th episode topic requests - and per usual, it's fun while also being educational. This week Natasha and Taylor get into the postpartum topics that nobody talks about honestly enough, starting with postpartum sex (or the lack thereof). Natasha breaks down the actual biology behind low libido while breastfeeding - prolactin, estrogen, vaginal dryness - so you can stop blaming yourself and start blaming hormones. Plus: a note to partners everywhere.Since Taylor is 10 weeks postpartum, we're talking about the pumping pressure myth - because no, you don't have to introduce bottles or build a freezer stash, and more moms need to hear that. Natasha shares her IBCLC journey, including the brutal triple-feeding experience with her first that sent her down the path to becoming a lactation consultant. 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
