You planned for labor & delivery, but did anyone prepare you for what happens after birth when you're in the hospital? In this episode, we’re breaking down the postpartum hospital stay no one talks about: interruptions, sleep, pain, lactation visits, newborn weight loss and behavior, the provided food, billing and what we’d do differently next time.

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.

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

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.

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.

Weaning from breastfeeding is one of those transitions no one really prepares you for — emotionally, hormonally, or practically.In this episode, we’re talking honestly about what it’s actually like to stop breastfeeding: the unexpected hormone crash, the brain fog and mood swings, the identity shift, and why even when you’re ready to be done, it can still hit way harder than you expect.We also break down some of the biggest weaning myths, including:Why starting solids doesn’t automatically mean less breastfeedingWhy “baby-led weaning” is a confusing nameWhether your toddler really needs cow’s milkAnd why there is no “right” order or perfect plan for dropping feedsWe share our own very real weaning stories, the hurdles, what we wish we had known sooner, and how to think about weaning in a way that’s actually sustainable and supportive — for both you and your baby.If you’re thinking about weaning, in the middle of it, or still months away but already anxious about it, this episode will make you feel less alone and a lot more normal.🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to follow Moms Interrupted for more honest conversations about motherhood, matrescence, and everything in between.

Navigating in-laws and unsolicited advice as a new mom isn’t easy. This week we’re diving into boundaries, overstepping, and all the moments that make you feel judged or second-guessed in your own motherhood. We talk about why family members (especially grandparents) feel entitled to weigh in, how we have navigated responding when advice crosses the line, and ways to stay confident in your instincts even when everyone has an opinion.If you’re juggling family pressure, clashing expectations, or just trying to trust yourself without the noise—this episode is for you.

We’re lactation educators and moms breaking down the real truths about pumping — when you actually need to do it, why introducing it too soon can lead to oversupply and burnout, and how modern motherhood’s obsession with “efficiency” is exhausting us.

From the daycare waitlists to the mom guilt to pumping in a closet—childcare in America feels like a system built against us. In this episode, Natasha and Taylor unpack what it’s really like navigating childcare through every season of motherhood—how their choices have shifted with each baby, why it always seems to fall on moms to figure it out, and how to reframe the guilt that comes with needing help and being away from their kids. Whether you’re home full-time, working, or somewhere in between, this one’s for every mom doing her best (and crushing it) in a system that makes it harder and more complicated that it should be. Remember that everything is temporary and we are all learning as we go! You've got this!

Taylor is back sharing her second birth story - and this one was completely different.

After having her first baby at a birth center, she chose to work with an OB and deliver in a hospital, but still had an unmedicated birth as she had planned for.

From her water breaking at 12:30am on her due date to a 4-hour labor, intense contractions minutes apart, and a 45-minute car ride while in active labor.

We talk about:

• The biggest differences between birth center vs hospital birth
• What it’s actually like to have an unmedicated hospital birth
• Timing when to go to the hospital (and why it’s such a mind game)
• Labor starting with your water breaking (even though “that’s rare”)
• Managing contractions without an epidural
• The mental side of birth (and how it changes the second time)
• What helped her avoid tearing
• That moment of “I can’t do this”… right before baby arrives

She went from anxiety leading up to birth → to a fast, empowering, unmedicated delivery and shares exactly what made the difference this time.

If you're preparing for birth, considering going unmedicated, or deciding between location of birth & type of care team, this episode is for you.

This week, we’re tackling five hot topics in motherhood that everyone’s talking about — and a few that no one talks about enough. From Margot Robbie’s “bounce-back” and Jennifer Affleck’s postpartum on Dancing with the Stars, to getting your period back, pelvic floor realities (yes, we've peed ourselves), and the myth of the “prince charming,” we’re diving into it all.

We also get honest about the mental load, why “educating your baby” is not as complicated as we sometimes make it, and how working out can be about feeling strong and not looking a certain way during pregnancy and postpartum. It’s a mix of real mom chats, research & education, and relatable chaos — just how we like it.

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) parts of pregnancy: trying to get labor started.

From dates and raspberry leaf tea to acupuncture, sex, and curb walking — we dive into the truth behind “natural induction” methods, what the research actually says, and what’s just anecdotal hype.

We get into:

- Your body won’t go into labor until it’s ready & why that's a good thing!

- Alllllllll of the natural methods you COULD try

- What might help vs. what’s potentially risky

- The real role of doulas (and why they’re so powerful for birth outcomes)

- Epidurals: the good, the trade-offs, and how to think about your options

- How we have found to be the best approach for the final weeks of pregnancy without spiraling

If you’re in your third trimester (or just curious about birth), this is the honest, no-BS conversation you need.

Because sometimes the most important thing to remember is: your baby will come when they’re ready

In this episode, Natasha and Taylor dive deep into the postpartum trenches and what to expect. How much do you bleed? Do you look down there after to check how things are going...? How does your body feel and look? How long even is postpartum? When do you actually want to have sex again? We often read about pregnancy, birth, and even parenting books in preparation for becoming mothers. Rarely do we read about what to expect in the fourth trimester. Oftentimes, we're at home feeling isolated while we are trying to heal. The truth is, postpartum is not 6-8 weeks - it can be years before you feel like yourself again. You aren't alone if you feel that way, and we're here to tell you it's OK if you don't fit your jeans 2 years later, and it's OK if you don't want to immediately have sex when you're cleared. Let's chat the good, bad and ugly. TOGETHER.

*Disclaimer: We speak about pregnancy loss in this episode at great length.* 

This is our first real mom spotlight, a series we are committed to bringing to you guys! Real moms, real stories.

Today Taylor and Natasha have conversations with a first time mama - and a long time friend, Kelea. Before her current pregnancy, she experienced a traumatic pregnancy loss - and in the moment felt completely at a loss at what to do. Do you go to the hospital, do you stay home and let it run its course? Do you Chat GPT what to do? How do you know the point to go in? All of these things have us wondering why something that is so common - feels so difficult to navigate. We also walk through Kelea’s current pregnancy, navigating things like her birth plan. Why do women seem to NEVER catch a break in terms of judgment towards their birth plan, we truly are all doing something hard. Let’s give each other a break. P.S.,  NIPPLE STIMULATION CAN START LABOR. You heard it here first. We can’t wait for you to listen.

In this episode, we’re talking all things newborn life: the weird, the normal, and the things that totally catch you off guard the first time around. From gas, grunting, spit-up, sneezing, meconium, cradle cap, swaddles, and witching hour to the reality that most newborn behaviors are bizarre but completely normal, we’re breaking down what’s actually worth worrying about and what’s just part of the newborn phase.

We also talk about the pressure of waiting for labor, the “fourth trimester,” why newborns don’t need nearly as much stimulation as the internet wants you to think, and our best advice for supporting a gassy or fussy baby without spiraling. This episode is your reminder that newborns are under construction, you do not need to fix every little noise they make, and sometimes the best thing you can do is sit down, snuggle your baby, and trust that this phase will pass.

If you’re in the thick of newborn life or getting ready to enter it again, this one is for you.

In this episode, we give major snaps for dads. Join Natasha and Taylor for a special father's day episode where they walk you through dads throughout history... And acknowledge just how far they have come. Let's be real, the parenting job was never created for 50/50 - Sometimes it feels like men are like "bobo the sperm donor", and women go through IT ALL. However, men are there too ,experiencing relationship changes and real hardships as well (yes we said it!) So let's acknowledge them...Happy Father' Day!

P.S. Dads take notes, because we'll walk through what our listeners say are the BEST things that their partner did for them postpartum.

In this episode, Natasha and Taylor talk about the “Village” - What does the modern day village look like? It’s still needed… You may just have to work harder to get it. We walk through WHO is a part of these modern day villages… Your OB, Midwife, Doula, Lactation Consultant, Best friends, Family, Therapist, Acupuncturist… Anyone who makes you feel supported, seen and heard. Sometimes setting things up while pregnant, can make you feel less alone in it when baby comes. It’s HARD to make friends as adults, but it’s always worth it to try. Friendships change after babies and that’s OK - However if your friend isn’t being supportive of how your life looks different and adapting with you… Find new ones! If you want a village, you have to be a villager.

Don’t worry, this isn’t your average birth class - it’s a run down of the basic biology, with some must hear stories sprinkled in. Husbands in the waiting room? Placentas in freezer?

In this episode, Taylor and Natasha get real about pregnancy.

It’s not all glowing skin and cute bump pics like Instagram might have you believe. If you're feeling nauseous, exhausted, anxious, or just not yourself… we see you. You’re not alone, and you’re not doing it wrong.

We share our own stories—like fainting in a dentist chair, dragging ourselves through bachelorette parties, and barely surviving work days.

And if you’re not pregnant, check in on your friends who are—they still want to feel included, even if they’re too wiped to show up.

Welcome to Moms Interrupted with Taylor and Natasha. In their first ever episode, they explain how this podcast came to be. Although they both come from the perinatal educator world (doula, lactation, childbirth) they STILL felt shocked at the lack of support and overwhelming feelings they experienced while entering motherhood. Does it have to be this hard? Dive into their personal journey's of motherhood, and why honest, informed conversations about being a mom in America matter more than ever. Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, deep in the trenches of motherhood, or even just curious... you're welcome here!

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most sensitive and polarizing conversations in motherhood: breast milk, formula, and informed feeding choices.

We talk about the biochemical differences between breast milk and formula, the benefits and risks of each, combo feeding, and why so many parents make feeding decisions without truly having all the information. This is not a shame-based conversation, and it’s not a moral debate — it’s about facts, context, and helping moms make informed choices that work for their families.

We also get into how maternity leave, hospital policies, formula marketing, and postpartum support shape infant feeding decisions in ways many families don’t realize. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, combo feeding, pumping, or still figuring it out, this episode is here to support you with nuance, evidence, and zero judgment.

Because moms deserve information, not guilt.

In this episode of Moms Interrupted, we talk about the massive identity shift that happens after becoming a mom. Postpartum isn’t just physical — your brain literally changes, your routines change, and suddenly the life you had before kids feels completely different.

We share our experiences navigating “mom brain,” letting go of rigid expectations, and learning to let go in early motherhood. From feeling like you have to constantly entertain your kids, to the pressure to bounce back, to the endless noise about what kind of mom you’re supposed to be — it’s a lot.

We also talk about the small things that helped us reconnect with ourselves postpartum: finding tiny pockets of time for ourselves, tuning out social media noise, embracing a little more “90s parenting,” and giving ourselves permission to still be figuring it out.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why postpartum identity shifts are completely normal

• What “mom brain” actually feels like

• Letting go of the pressure to constantly entertain your kids

• Finding small ways to reconnect with yourself

• Why motherhood doesn’t have to fit into one box

If you’re in the thick of postpartum and wondering who you are now, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone — and there’s no deadline for finding your new rhythm.

Motherhood changes everything, especially your friendships. In this episode, we talk honestly about making mom friends, maintaining old friendships, and why relationships can shift after having kids. From feeling lonely postpartum to navigating friends without children, we break down the realities no one talks about, including mom group dynamics, canceled plans, social media pressure, and why different friends serve different seasons of life.

We touch on:

• Surprising stats about loneliness in motherhood

• How we've made new mom friends

• What to do when friendships fade or feel one-sided

• Why communication matters more than perfection

• How to support friends in different life stages

Whether you’re the first mom in your group, the last, or somewhere in between, this episode is your reminder that friendship in motherhood isn’t broken…it’s evolving.

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.

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.

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
