Moms Interrupted

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

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 timeline
Getting flipped by nurses on hands and knees (baby was sunny-side up)
Postpartum pain after an epidural birth vs. her later unmedicated birth
Early breastfeeding struggles that pushed her toward becoming a lactation consultant
Her honest answer to "would you choose induction again?"

This is a positive birth story — not a scary one!!

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.

For the first time, we're handing the mic to a husband. Taylor's husband Connor joins the podcast (recorded on their son's 3rd birthday — and their 3-year "parent-iversary" to the day!) to answer questions about what it's really like on the dad side of pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
We get into:🍼 How a dad can actually support a breastfeeding mom (hint: it's not about the boobs)
👶 Birth center vs. hospital birth — his honest take on both
💰 The infamous "postpartum hospital bill ambush" story
🩺 What partners should watch during labor — and what to look away from
🛏️ Co-sleeping, sleep regression, and surviving on zero sleep
