COMPANIONSHIP

Ivette and Jill drink some unFAB Britta-filtered water and talk about unplanned pregnancies, Cesareans, and choosing formula over the all-mighty breast milk. Jill is a fellow author/TV host/journalist/Parenting lifestyle expert/mother of two. She speaks up against mom judgment and the importance of staying FAB (focused after baby). Check out her book, The Fab Mom's Guide: How to Get Over the Bump & Bounce Back Fast After Baby. www.imtheonepushing.com @imtheonepushing

Ivette and Justine talk over some fake wine coolers (aka watered down grape juice). Justine is a mother/sleep consultant and educator/founder of SleepyBye Family. She survived 2 C-sections, a postpartum mood anxiety disorder, and her own sleep issues in order to become a kick-ass pro on all things slumber. This episode is everything but a dozy, so get ready to laugh, cry and learn tips on how to create healthy sleep habits on your baby from early on. www.imtheonepushing.com @imtheonepushing

Pregnant Ivette and Almarie drink tea lattes from Coffee Bean. Almarie is an actor/dancer/story pirate/clown/mother who actually loved being pregnant. They discuss the pros and cons of waiting 12 weeks to tell others you're expecting, and talk about miscarrying, a home water birth that didn't go as planned, baby wrapping, and elimination communication. (That's when your baby poops in the potty before they can even walk.) www.imtheonepushing.com @imtheonepushing

Ivette drinks up the rest of the Quarter Acre Merlot blend from New Zealand with one of her BFFs Trina Jacobsen. They talk breastfeeding woes, birth plans vs. intentions, and how growing a baby in your own womb doesn't necessarily make you a mother no matter what the dictionary says. All moms are pushers -- the title of this podcast (and book) is not to be taken literally. www.imtheonepushing.com @imtheonepushing
