Birth plans, baby names & toddler skincare?!

This week’s episode is a total mix of everything on our minds: being “busy,” toddler obsessions, men’s pants (please help), a quick birth plan update, and that moment when your baby feels so grown… until you look back and realize they were tiny. In Things We DMed Each Other, we get into toddler skincare — and why “safe on skin” doesn’t always mean “safe on the mind” — plus a social experiment where a woman called churches asking for formula (and the results were surprising). And then, of course, TWO Bickers of the Week: whether it’s ever okay to double dip, and if a man can eat a pregnant woman’s food (spoiler: he cannot). We also wanted to make sure all the new parents in our community are aware of the recent ByHeart recall. We shared what we know and understand, and wanted to link a resource with the most up-to-date info:https://byheart.com/pages/an-update-from-our-founders-on-our-voluntary-recall-november-2025 Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:01:55 The glorification of being “busy” 00:05:07 Why young toddlers love baby dolls 00:06:25 Please comment your recs for comfortable men’s pants 00:12:05 My birth plan for baby #2 00:14:17 How close to your due date would you let your husband travel? 00:17:17 Potential names for baby #2 00:18:37 When your baby feels grown in the moment (and tiny later) 00:21:20 When people say a baby girl looks just like her dad… 00:24:27 The ByHeart recall 00:34:40 Do you really need a gadget for everything? 00:37:05 When will Tate get her first haircut? 00:38:38 Things We DMed Each Other: Toddler skincare 00:41:29 Things We DMed Each Other: Baby formula “social experiment” 00:49:00 Bicker of the Week: Is it ever OK to double dip? 00:54:00 Bicker of the Week: Can a man eat a pregnant woman’s food? 01:00:17 LOVE YOU GUYS #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Quince: Step into the holiday season with layers made to last.
