5.15: Best Prenatal Vitamins: Real Mom Reviews, No Sponsorship, No BS Oct 23, 2025

Picking a prenatal vitamin shouldn’t feel like a full-time job, but somehow it does. One doctor says one thing, the internet swears by another, and every brand claims theirs is the best. No wonder every mom is confused.

In this episode, Amanda & Jessie break down what real moms actually take, from Thorne and NFH Prenatal SAP to PregVit, Perelel, Nature’s Made, and the gummy options we pretend are candy. They read listener submissions, share their own experiences, and talk nausea, cost, and the chaos of remembering to take that horse pill every day.

⚠️ No medical advice, no paid opinions, just real talk from moms figuring it out too.

🎧 Because “fed is best” starts with mom being sane enough to swallow the vitamin.

5.14: Contradicting Parenting Advice: Because Everyone’s Suddenly an Expert Oct 16, 2025

One doctor says “never wake a sleeping baby.” The next says “you have to wake them to feed.”
Welcome to motherhood, where every piece of parenting advice contradicts the last.

In this week’s episode, Amanda & Jessie unpack the chaos of modern motherhood, sleep training, feeding debates, and the endless stream of contradicting mom advice that leaves parents wondering what’s actually right.

From BLW vs. purees, co-sleeping vs. crib, and potty training timelines, to the mom guilt that creeps in no matter what you do, we’re diving into the mental overload that comes with everyone suddenly being an “expert.”

Plus: we read your hilarious and horrifying submissions for the worst parenting advice you’ve ever gotten, and play a rapid-fire game of “helpful or BS” that every new mom, toddler mom, and exhausted parent will relate to.

Because no matter what side you pick : sleep, solids, or screen time, someone will tell you you’re wrong.
We’re all just winging it.

🎧 Real moms. Real contradictions. Zero judgment.

5.11 : Postpartum Anxiety Is Real w (Guest: Maddie Muhs) Sep 11, 2025

Postpartum depression gets the spotlight… but postpartum anxiety (PPA)? It’s just as real, just as brutal, and way less talked about. In this raw, funny, and painfully honest convo with Maddie Muhs (motherhood creator and mom who’s lived it), we unpack what PPA actually looks like, when it hits, and how to get real help.

What you’ll hear:

The many faces of PPA: racing thoughts, doom-scroll brain, hyper-vigilance, sleep spirals
When it shows up (hint: not always right away) and why it can blindside you
Our personal “yep, anxiety was driving” moments (baby monitor FBI energy, anyone?)
What helps: therapy, community, partner support, and—yes—medication when needed
Breaking the stigma so moms stop suffering in silence

Who this is for: new moms, moms-to-be, partners who want to help, and anyone who’s ever stared at a sleeping baby to make sure they’re breathing (same).

If this sounds like you, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. Share this with a mom friend who might need it today.

Note: This episode includes open discussion of mental health and medication. It’s not medical advice, please talk to your doctor or a qualified provider if you need support.

5.10: Starting Solids & Baby-Led Weaning — Purees, Gagging & What Nobody Tells You Sep 04, 2025

Everyone talks about starting solids for babies, but nobody warns you how overwhelming it feels when your baby is actually in the high chair. Purees or baby-led weaning? Choking vs. gagging? Why does every meal feel like a Google spiral of panic?

This week we’re breaking down the messy, nerve-wracking, and sometimes hilarious reality of feeding babies—the good, the bad, and the sticky.

We cover:

When to start solids and the “before the first bite” anxiety spiral (aka “what the hell do I feed them first?”)
Baby-led weaning vs. purees — benefits, struggles, and why BLW really means “let your baby destroy your dining room”
What’s actually normal (spoiler: baby gagging, mess, and food play are all part of learning)
Mom confessions: dirt > broccoli, crying over peanut butter, and crime-scene first food photos
Practical tips: high chair gear, easy first foods for babies, and allergen tips that make life easier
Big-picture reassurance: breast milk/formula is still the main nutrition under 1—and you don’t need three meals a day right away

If you’re about to start solids, knee-deep in it, or crying over the splat mat on your floor… this one’s for you.

From cry-it-out sleep training to contact naps, gentle sleep training to white noise machines duct-taped to the crib (yep, we’ve been there), we’re breaking down what sleep training actually is, the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it, and why the pressure to “get it right” can feel so intense.

Whether you’re team “schedule everything” or just trying to survive, this is for every mom who’s ever googled “is my baby broken at 2am?” You’re not alone. And yes—you will sleep again.

🎧 Listen for:

What sleep training methods worked (and totally flopped) for us
The biggest sleep training myths we believed
The guilt, the judgment, the desperation, and mom guilt sleep training brings
Real talk on pressure, comparison, and learning to evolve with your baby

5.7: Hangovers, Babysitters, and Mom Guilt: Our Relationship with Going Out Jul 31, 2025

You beg for a night out. You finally get one. You book the sitter. You shave your legs. You actually put on real pants.

You go out.

We’re talking: 

Why going out feels like a full-time job now

Drinking for the wrong reasons (and regretting it instantly)
Next-morning mom guilt and snapping at your kids over nothing
Our most unhinged going out stories, complete with outfit regrets, panic texts, and hangxiety

And of course, we ask the realest question of all: Is it even f*cking worth it?

Spoiler: sometimes yes, sometimes hell no.

 This is a must-listen for every mom who’s ever tried to reclaim a night out, only to end up wondering if it was worth the babysitter, the brain fog, and the emotional spiral.

5.6: Things We Swore We’d Never Do… Until We Had Kids (aka Sht We Said We’d Never Do as Moms - But Here We Are) Jul 24, 2025

“My kid will never have screen time.” 

“I’ll never yell.” 

“They’ll eat what we eat.”

Cut to us three years later: handing over the iPad with one hand and wiping a booger with the other.

This week on Baby Then What, we’re dragging our pre-mom selves and laughing (…crying?) at all the things we said we’d never do, until we did. Because once you’re in the thick of it? All bets are off.

We’re talking:

• The lies we told ourselves before kids

• The chaos we now fully embrace (Paw Patrol, bribes, cold coffee and all)

• That exact moment you realize… oh sh*t, I’m that mom

• Why it’s time to stop judging and start surviving

If you’ve ever done something you swore you’d never do, welcome. You’re one of us.

A must-listen for moms navigating modern parenting, survival mode, and the messy in-between.

This week, we’re diving into the quiet, complicated reality of gender disappointment in pregnancy—a totally normal experience that so many moms are too ashamed to admit. We unpack the shock, guilt, and shame spiral that can hit hard when the baby isn’t the gender you dreamed of.

We talk about:

The shock, grief, and mom guilt that come with gender disappointment
Generational patterns, birth order pressure, and those intrusive family comments
The late-night Google spirals (“can they get the gender wrong?”)

Pregnancy Test Prank Gone Wrong — One Came Back Positive?! Jun 05, 2025

What started as a lighthearted pregnancy test prank for content… turned into absolute chaos. We accidentally switched tests, and one came back positive.

So… one of us is pregnant. But whose test is it? And what do we even do now?!

Nobody really warns you about this part of pregnancy and postpartum—but we’re gonna say it out loud.

This week, we’re getting real about what it feels like when your friendships shift after having a baby. The friends who stopped texting. The ones who bailed before your baby shower. The ones you thought would be there… and just weren’t.

Losing friends during pregnancy and postpartum
The heartbreak of realizing who doesn’t show up
The awkwardness of making new mom friends when you barely recognize yourself
Why it’s not just okay, but necessary, to let go of friendships that don’t fit the mom you are now

Car seats and high chair recs that don’t suck → From Clek and Diono to IKEA and the overhyped “convertible” ones that collect dust.
How to actually decide what to buy based on: → Budget, longevity, replacements, multiple kids, and what actually works.
