Lactation Consultant, Breastfeeding and Formula Feeding Specialist Katie Mugan joined Andrea Gilligan to tackle your medical queries…

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we're talking about parenting decisions we've officially changed our minds on. From sleep training to breastfeeding timelines to actually caring about “firsts,” (yeah - Harrison really claimed he didn't care!!!), we share what we thought we'd do before Tate was born… and what we've flip flopped to now (it's called personal growth OK!!).  Plus: Tate is fully on the move, which means we're in deep child-proofing mode (baby gates, outlet covers, the whole deal). We also catch you up on some fun home updates (yes to wallpaper!!), debate the best parking spot in this week's Bicker of the Week, and react to the most Alex x Harrison coded collab of the year: Barbie x ChatGPT. Oh—and stay tuned at the end for yet another new segment idea - Harrison's inspirational quote of the week. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

What is selective bias, and how does it show up in our work as doulas? We all interpret and retain information in ways that align with our pre-existing beliefs, often unknowingly dismissing data that challenges our biases. From interpreting research to making decisions in birth spaces, selective bias can shape the care we provide and can influence the experiences of our clients. As doulas, we have a responsibility to recognize and confront our own biases, especially when it comes to topics like interventions and birth preferences. Are you open to thinking critically about your own biases, considering how they affect your practice, and exploring ways to actively seek out diverse perspectives?  Join us for an honest conversation about learning and growing in our doula practice, and how embracing discomfort can lead to more effective, unbiased support for the families we serve.

This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we cut through the myths and pressures for a real conversation about breastfeeding. Meg is joined by the incredible Dr. Sabeen Adil, a GP and internationally board-certified lactation consultant, who brings a wealth of global experience in breastfeeding medicine and perinatal mental health.This episode offers a supportive and honest look at the breastfeeding journey:More Than Milk: Discover why breastfeeding is not just for the baby, but also a crucial and natural part of a mother's own postpartum physiological recovery.Busting Myths: Dr. Adil debunks common myths, including the idea that pain is normal (it's not!) and the pitfalls of rigid feeding schedules in the early days.The Power of Support: We explore the concept of the "village" across different cultures and discuss why a held and supported mother is the key to a successful breastfeeding journey.Letdown & Latch: Learn about the "milk ejection reflex" (that stabbing pain!) and why a proper latch is the foundation of comfortable feeding.Permission to Choose: A compassionate discussion on recognizing when to persevere and when it's okay to stop, emphasizing that a healthy, happy mother is what's most important.Whether you're pregnant or in the thick of it, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and empowered.About Our Guest:Dr. Sabeen Adil is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), General Practitioner, and Perinatal Mental Health Professional with over 15 years of experience. A former President of the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA), she is a globally recognized expert in breastfeeding medicine.

What if I told you that so much of what you THINK you'll do as a new mom totally changes once you're actually in the messy, magical trenches of motherhood? In this episode, I'm getting personal about all the “hot takes” and behind-the-scenes decisions Eric and I made—sometimes against conventional wisdom—during my first 10 months with Blakely. We're talking breastfeeding versus formula, real talk on night weaning and sleep training (including what I swore I'd NEVER do!), how we approach solids and screen time, and why changing your mind as a mom is basically a rule, not a failure.If you've ever wondered, “Am I doing motherhood ‘right'?” or felt a pang of guilt comparing your journey to anyone else's, you'll walk away from this episode feeling validated, informed, and so much less alone. You'll get clear insight into what worked for us, what absolutely didn't, and tiny tweaks I'll make next time—all shared openly so you can cherry-pick what fits your own family.If you're ready for a real, unfiltered take on the highs and lows of new motherhood, plus one thing no one warned me about (that completely rocked my world!) tap play now.

“I always say sexuality is an evolution throughout the lifespan and postpartum is no different,” says Dr. Rachel Ollivier. Dr. Ollivier is a Nurse Practitioner and clinician scientist, who practices both women's cardiac health and complex gynecology. In this episode, I chat with Dr. Ollivier about sexual health after birth. We discuss what impacts sexual health after birth, the fear of pain when returning to sexual activities postpartum, and the impact of birth on body image. Episode outline:Sexual health after birth What impacts your sexual health after birth Your identity of being a mother and being a sexual being Body image after giving birth and how that impacts your How the meaning of your parts of your can change after giving birth (i.e breasts) The fear of pain when returning to sexual activities after birth Using masturbation to learn what feels safe and comfortable before returning to sex, taking agency with their body to get to know their bodies again Postpartum recovery - the importance of getting help and not thinking my body will always look and feel this way after giving birth Taboo of masturbation for females Pressure from your partner to have sex Redefining intimacy and emotional closeness postpartum Breaking down the idea of what ‘normal' sex looks like,Redefining what sex and pleasure actually means to you  How can people cultivate emotional intimacy if they're used to having physical intimacy as the main event?The six week check - is it a one size fits all? .✨This episode is sponsored by Embodia https://www.embodiaapp.com/ - use code momstrength to save $20 off your first month's Tier 3 membership..Connect with Surabhi:—Find Surabhi on Instagram or Facebook @thepassionatephysio—Website: https://www.thepassionatephysio.ca

Leah dives into the social construct of breastfeeding and the overwhelming guilt often placed on mothers. Drawing from research and lived experiences, Leh explores how cultural expectations, medical advice, and shifting family structures have created an impossible standard for mothers—one that demands exclusive breastfeeding as proof of being a “good” parent.Leah challenges the narrative that mothers must navigate these pressures alone, highlighting the historical context of communal caregiving and the modern isolation of the nuclear family. She discusses the emotional toll of breastfeeding distress, the pain of inauthenticity, and the disproportionate impact on women from different socioeconomic backgrounds.Follow Leah Ruppanner at https://www.instagram.com/prof.leah/Follow the MissPerceived Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/missperceivedpodcast Hosted on Acast.

The #BackOffBobbie campaign lives on, because someone has to say what Operation Stork Speed refused to: the real risk in formula isn't just seed oils or trace heavy metals (the red herrings distracting the #MAHA moms). It's cronobacter, a rare but deadly bacteria that continues to fly under the radar while mommy influencers parade USDA organic labels and metal-free test results like gold stars.This week, we're joined by Natasha Vargas-Cooper of Radical Moms Union to expose the uncomfortable truths formula companies don't want mothers to know. We talk about the fox guarding the hen house of formula testing, the 626 NEC lawsuits filed against major manufacturer Abbott, RFK Jr.'s murky ties to the formula industry, and how social media marketing has become the newest weapon against maternal instinct.This conversation isn't about shame. It's about power: power in knowledge, power in truth, and power in numbers. It's time to reclaim motherhood from corporate capture. Get involved with RMU if mobilizing mothers to advocate for change makes you excited!

What if one conversation could completely change how you advocate for your baby in the NICU? In this episode of the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast, NICU mom and Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, Nicole Nyberg is joined by Dr. Melinda Elliott, neonatologist and Chief Medical Officer at Prolacta Bioscience. Together, they dive deep into the emotional and clinical realities of life in the NICU—highlighting the critical role that parents play in their baby's care from day one. You'll hear powerful insight on why skin-to-skin contact is far more than a comfort measure, how to ask the right questions about your baby's feeding plan, and why human milk-based fortifiers can be a game changer in preventing serious complications like NEC. And here's something every NICU parent needs to know: just because something is called a “human milk fortifier” doesn't mean it's made from human milk. That's why it's essential to ask what your baby is truly being fed—and why it matters. Whether you're a NICU parent navigating the unknown or a clinician committed to improving outcomes, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, supported, and inspired to take action.

Krystle is hosting solo this week with Jen Wagner, board-certified obstetric anesthesiologist, and Bethany Scott, birth doula, and co-hosts of The C-Section Experience Podcast! Jen and Bethany provide education and support for c-section mamas with the goal of improving c-section experiences for all women. With Jen having had 1 c-section and 1 VBAC and Bethany having had 3 c-sections like Krystle, this episode is full of tips and stories to help you feel empowered and in charge of your c-section experience!Going into birth knowing you will have a planned c-section can still come with feelings of anxiety. Jen and Bethany describe methods like the “3-3-3” and others that you and your partner can do while waiting for your procedure to help reduce those pre-surgery jitters. And if your vaginal birth ends in a c-section for reasons Jen describes, utilize the same coping skills you used successfully during your labor. Not knowing how labor may go, Jen and Bethany explain why they like expecting mamas to create a “contingency plan”... like your birth plan for your vaginal delivery, what types of things would you like for a c-section? Immediate skin-to-skin? Breastfeeding in the operating room? YOU have the power of choice with these types of things! We completely acknowledge that having a c-section, whether planned or unplanned, may cause a lot of grief - which is a normal feeling! If you plan on having more children, consider the types of things you would like to do differently with your next delivery and include it in your contingency plan. Talking through your birth with your safe people can really help process the events of your birth too. Recovering physically from a c-section can also be HARD! Jen, Bethany, and Krystle put their experiences and professional preparedness to work to bring you tips for staying on top of your pain, do's and don'ts of abdominal binders, how to utilize a helper once you discharge home from the hospital, plus so many great breastfeeding tips!!If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @thecsxpodcast and @expectingandempowered.

Host Shiphrah sits down with Kavita Sahai, founder of Vibes Tribe, to explore her journey from burnout and brain fog to vibrant health and grounded purpose. She shares how a simple shift in mindset—prioritizing wellness over hustle—led her from finance to natural wellness. We talk about the power of small daily practices, why midlife is such a profound (and often overlooked) period of transition for women, and how stacking five-minute habits can change everything. From meal planning to hormone shifts, from fiber to essential oils—this is a candid, practical, and empowering conversation for anyone seeking a more vibrant life. Whether you're in your 30s, 50s, or simply feeling the need for change, this episode reminds us: your well-being is a worthy goal—and you're not alone in the journey.Feeling burnt out from birthwork?

The human body has traits that evolved at different times, from 1.5 billion to 2 million years ago, each bringing health benefits and risks. Multicellularity enabled organs and cancer. The immune system defends us but can cause inflammation. Breastfeeding supports infant health but relates to breast cancer risk. Menstruation and invasive placentas improved reproduction but led to pain and cancer risks. Human-specific traits like bipedalism and aging brought new issues like back pain and childbirth problems. Hair loss and sweat glands helped us stay cool but increased skin cancer risk. Our hunter-gatherer past shaped our microbiome and health, but also made us prone to modern diseases from lifestyle changes.

The human body has traits that evolved at different times, from 1.5 billion to 2 million years ago, each bringing health benefits and risks. Multicellularity enabled organs and cancer. The immune system defends us but can cause inflammation. Breastfeeding supports infant health but relates to breast cancer risk. Menstruation and invasive placentas improved reproduction but led to pain and cancer risks. Human-specific traits like bipedalism and aging brought new issues like back pain and childbirth problems.

Doula work can be incredibly rewarding, but it won't be the right fit for everyone. In this episode, we talk openly about why someone shouldn't become a doula. Birth work requires a specific mindset, skills, and responsibilities. Being judgmental, struggling to hold space, or expecting birth work to be all about personal fulfillment can create harm. Becoming a doula means running a doula business, and passion alone isn't enough if you're not prepared to market, manage, and sustain a professional practice. This honest conversation takes a raw and real look at what it takes to be a doula. It is essential to preserve the integrity of the profession and support future doulas in entering the work with clarity and intention. If you or someone you know is considering becoming a doula, this is a must-listen episode.

In this episode, newly graduated midwife Adilah Yelton joins host Shiphrah Israel to reflect on her journey from student to practicing midwife.

Are you considering the airway in your treatment planning? Could centric relation (CR) be compromising your patient's breathing? When you open the vertical dimension, are you making the airway better—or worse? Welcome to another AES 2026 series episode, this time with LEGEND Dr. Jeff Rouse as he joins Jaz in this eye-opening episode to explore how airway, aesthetics, and function are deeply interconnected—especially in prosthodontics. They discuss key clinical scenarios like vertical dimension changes, examining how your choices may impact the airway—sometimes in ways you didn't expect. With practical insights and examples, this episode will help you make smarter, airway-conscious decisions that elevate both your functional and aesthetic outcomes. https://youtu.be/-Ut-qme7Vcg Watch PDP229 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Plan your breaks 12 months in advance to avoid burnout and ensure quality time with your loved ones. Prioritize rest and connection before reaching exhaustion—your body, mind, and heart will thank you. Key Takeaways Airway health is crucial in dentistry, impacting aesthetics and function. Understanding airway issues can lead to better treatment outcomes for patients. Breastfeeding plays a significant role in childhood development and airway health. Interdisciplinary approaches are essential for effective adult treatment. Aesthetics and function are key factors in airway prosthodontics. Most patients are unaware of their airway issues until they are addressed. Early intervention in childhood can prevent future airway problems. Combining orthodontics and prosthodontics can enhance patient care. Airway management is crucial for overall patient health. A great bite is not just about teeth alignment. Pathway wear can indicate deeper dental issues. Vertical dimension changes can negatively impact airway. Understanding joint positions is essential in treatment planning. Continuous education is vital for modern dental practices.

Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about how nesting and admin go hand-in-hand. June is perhaps the busiest month in the Ryan-Kootstra diary and Katherine is managing the mental load of new schools, renovations, birthday parties, trips to New York and prom, all while still on tour and growing another baby. Poor Karen Millen popped on a breakfast show and answered a question about breastfeeding only to find herself cancelled by the granola moms online!

Doctor and special correspondent, Avir Mitra takes Lulu on an epic journey live on stage at a little basement club called Caveat, here in New York. Starting with an ingredient in breastmilk that babies can't digest, a global hunt that takes us from Bangladesh to the Mennonite communities here in the US, we discover an ancient symbiotic relationship that might be on the verge of disappearing.  So sip a vicarious cocktail, settle in, and explore the surprising ways our bodies forge deep, invisible connections that shape our lives.This live show is part of a series we are doing with Avir that we are calling “Viscera.” Each event is conversation that takes the audience on journey into a quirk or question or mystery inside of us, and gives them a visceral experience with the viscera of us.
