Searching for that parenthood balance so when our kids are old they look back and say, “yeah, my dad (or mom) was awesome,” however we get there. And while we love our kids unconditionally, that doesn’t mean we’re wimpy pushover dads who have lost every shred of dignity and respect in the home. Let’s find that balance together. We are Max Valverde and Matt Naylor. We are MILKLESS. 

When should I start preparing for birth? Is labor pain really that bad? What do I need to stock up on for postpartum? My baby won’t latch. Is my breastfeeding journey doomed? Will I ever sleep again?Are we supposed to know what we’re doing? No? Just checking! But the real question is are we supposed to figure it all out alone? The answer is no. The Labor Room podcast is a live-workshop style, mom-to-mom conversation with Mamas who’ve been there. Mamas who can say “me too” when you want to start your motherhood journey out on the right foot but you need some help figuring it all out. You’re about to learn actionable advice and real-life experiences from a mom who’s been there. From TTC, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the baby stage…we are going to dig into the nitty gritty, the down and dirty, the real-life, no sugar-coating good stuff that you’ve been looking for on your journey through motherhood. As a mama of three, a Labor and Delivery nurse and a birth educator I’m going to help you find your way to an empowered, confident birth and beyond. Welcome to The Labor Room.
