More than anything, we’re two moms, just figuring out!
In this episode, weâre 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, weâre breaking down whatâs actually worth worrying about and whatâs just part of the newborn phase.
We also talk about the pressure of waiting for labor, the âfourth trimester,â why newborns donât 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 youâre in the thick of newborn life or getting ready to enter it again, this one is for you.
In this episode, weâre 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 itâs not a moral debate â itâs 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 donât realize. Whether youâre 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 isnât just physical â your brain literally changes, your routines change, and suddenly the life you had before kids feels completely different.
We share our experiences navigating âmom brain,â 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 youâre supposed to be â itâs 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 â90s parenting,â and giving ourselves permission to still be figuring it out.
In this episode we discuss:
Why postpartum identity shifts are completely normal
What âmom brainâ actually feels like
Letting go of the pressure to constantly entertain your kids
Finding small ways to reconnect with yourself
Why motherhood doesnât have to fit into one box
If youâre in the thick of postpartum and wondering who you are now, this episode is your reminder that youâre not alone â and thereâs 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.

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

Co-sleeping is one of the most emotional, controversial, and misunderstood topics in modern motherhood and most parents arenât 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 âdo this or elseâ episode. Itâs an education-first, judgment-free conversation about how families make impossible decisions when theyâre exhausted, overwhelmed, and just trying to keep everyone safe and rested.
If youâve ever Googled baby sleep at 3am, this episode is for you.
We cover:
The difference between co-sleeping, bedsharing, and room-sharing
Safe vs unsafe sleep environments
The science behind breastfeeding + sleep proximity
How temperament affects infant sleep
Why motherhood decisions arenât black and white
Our goal: less shame, more information, and parents who feel empowered instead of afraid.

In this episode of Momâs Interrupted, Taylor and Natasha cover the âgreatest hitsâ 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 isnât required to be a great parent. Then we get into teethingâwhatâs 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 momsâand what to say instead.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar industry built on maternal insecurity. From prenatals to formula to postpartum âbounce backâ 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, âdatafied parenting,â influencer culture, and how fear-based messaging convinces moms theyâre 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 âhelping momsâ 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 sprintâand 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 âhow do people actually enjoy this?!â
We talk about how boy and girl pregnancies can feel totally different, navigating changing symptoms, and learning to listen to your intuition when something doesnât feel right. From cervical checks to switching providers, we dive into what good care should look likeâand why itâs 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 âprepare for everything,â and the overwhelm of buying way too much stuff. Plus, practical topics like harvesting colostrum, meal prepping for postpartum, and whatâs actually helpful versus just more noise.
And of course, we debate the ultimate pregnancy question: whatâs worseâfirst trimester nausea or third trimester discomfort?
If youâre in the thick of it (or just trying to survive it all), this episode is for you. đ 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 đ).
In this episode, we talk about how weâre approaching potty training in real life â the wins, the chaos, the âthree-day methodâ pressure, and why we think the whole âreadinessâ 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 â24-hour sleepâ matters more than the schedule)
The real first steps of potty training (without the perfectionism)
Underwear too early = confusing (sometimes)
Why â3 daysâ 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 itâs normal
If youâre in the thick of it, about to start, or spiraling because your kid didnât follow the internet playbook â this oneâs for you. No shame, no pressure⌠and probably a reminder to lock up your makeup.
