By Laura Broder

May 23, 2016

We recap our respective Motherâs Day holidays and how we plan on celebrating in the future. We dive into more sticky topics – how to handle when a relative is a gun-owner. We move on to weapons our children wield: their TEETH. #tittytalk is all about nipple shields, and how one transitions away from using them.

Stuff we talked about:

Laura’s Ring Sling
Ergo Baby Carrier
Baby Carrier that makes back carry easier (Laura couldn’t think of the name…it’s a Mei Tai!)
Tula baby carrier
Boba wrap
Travel high chair sleeve
Vs slippers – Cat vs. Dog
Hanna Anderson moccasins
Moo-ccasins? (Nope, Mocc Ons!)
Uppababy G-lite Umbrella Stroller

#8 – Vomit In My Mouth

By Laura Broder

Apr 25, 2016

Charlie isn’t feeling great this week and Laura also was under the weather, which made her birthday less fun than years past. We talk about the challenges of babies at restaurants and the drain of sick babies. Caitlin isn’t feeling like she is as productive as she used to be and wonders if it’s either the distraction of the baby in the house or the exhaustion that comes from parenting in general. Laura gives out organization/to-do strategy tips (#nerdtalk!) as we continue our talk about baby brain and how its impacted our performance at our jobs. Our #tittytip revolves around a baby who bites your boob.

Stuff we talked about:

Bullet journaling
Todoist
A video explanation of what ASMR is
Birkman Method
Baby’s First Year Picture Frame
Renegade Mothering post re: if all you accomplish in a day is keeping your kid alive, GOOD JOB.

Things are a little bit melancholy around here as Caitlin deals with a newly standing naptime resister and the exhaustion & frustration that comes with it. Laura handles some post-swim lesson baby puking and #tittytalk is all about her airport breast pumping, which doubles as her Too Embarrassed To Tweet moment.. We chat about sensing when mamas are asking for help vs. just ranting and giving advice when asked for without judging other mamas.
