Ep. 34 Spill The Milk Q&A: mom guilt, two under two, traveling with kids, postpartum fear and more

You asked, I’m spilling. In this episode of Spill the Milk, I’m answering your questions about everything from surviving two under two and transitioning from one child to two, to postpartum anxiety, mom guilt, toddler sleep, family travel, and all the everyday decisions no one really prepares you for.We start with a little life update—summer chaos, craving routine again, and why the state of my house has an alarming amount of control over my mood. Then we get into the bigger questions: How do you make sure your first child still feels seen when a new baby arrives? What actually helps when you’re pregnant with your second and feel like you’ve forgotten everything? And is balancing self-care with three kids a real thing—or are we all just doing our best?I’m sharing the mindset shifts and practical strategies that have helped me through pregnancy, postpartum, and raising three little ones—including why a postpartum support plan is far more helpful than panic-Googling at 2 a.m., how I separate mom guilt from the kind of guilt that might actually be telling me something, and my honest thoughts on postpartum recovery, fatigue, and the pressure to “bounce back.”We also get into:• Surviving two under two and going from one child to two• Helping your oldest adjust to a new baby• Making time for yourself when traditional “balance” isn’t realistic• Pregnancy fears, postpartum anxiety, and avoiding social media spirals• Returning to movement when you’re exhausted• Bottles and formula feeding on the go• Thumb sucking and starting a consistent bedtime routine• Managing toddler sleep during international travel• ISR, swim safety, and the role of continued swim lessons• Deciding when preschool feels right• How we handle bedtime with multiple kids• Choosing a first home and neighborhood for a growing familyAs always, these aren’t perfect-parent answers—they’re what has worked, what hasn’t, and what I’ve learned while mostly winging it alongside you. Pour the milk, grab the coffee, and let’s get into it.Follow The Milk Podcast on all platforms for weekly episodes that remind you you're not alone, you're not crazy, and you're doing way better than you think.Follow & Subscribe For More:YouTube: @TheMilkPodcastInstagram: @TheMilkPodcast_@TaylaBurkeTikTok: @TheMilkPodcast @Tayla_Burke
