Baby Number 2: Pregnancy Insomnia, Birth Plans, Breastfeeding & Solids
<p>Taylor flies solo this week (Natasha's in Hawaii fresh off her IBCLC exam!) to talk through six months postpartum with baby #2 — and how different round two feels from round one. She gets into why she switched from a planned home birth to a hospital birth after developing severe pregnancy insomnia and anxiety in her third trimester, what co-care with a midwife postpartum looked like, and why she thinks postpartum care is one of the biggest gaps in the U.S. medical system.</p><p>Plus: a breastfeeding and solids Q&A (including the choking-vs-gagging distinction every parent should know), surviving newborn car rides, "mommy wrist" nobody warns you about, date night as an exclusively breastfeeding mom, bonding differences with a second baby, and why she thinks the newborn-to-toddler transition is easier the second time around.</p><p>XX,</p><p>Natasha & Taylor</p>
