Food poisoning, pacifier weaning & dressing up for flights?!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast - Wednesday morning was… action-packed, to say the least. Long story short: do NOT recommend getting food poisoning while pregnant. (Long story long: watch the episode.) From there, we recap our Happy Everything Toy Drive from this past weekend (a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came, helped, donated, or sponsored — we’re still blown away!!!). Then we spiral into a bunch of travel topics (ever notice how podcasters love to talk about planes??): balancing work travel and parenting, meeting people IRL at the airport, and a heated debate over whether you should dress up for flights (spoiler alert: NOOO).  Next up: a PSA for dads — you are in charge of mom’s stocking. We break down how to actually make it good (and not an afterthought!!). And we also share 5(ish) creative ideas for weaning off the pacifier. Important note: we haven’t tried these yet — they’re methods we’ve heard work and are about to start figuring out ourselves!!  Finally, in Things We DMed Each Other: positive stats that helped ease working-parent guilt, plus Toyota’s new self-driving pod for kids???  LOVE YOU GUYS!  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast!  00:00:41 Food poisoning during pregnancy  00:13:42 Happy Everything Toy Drive recap!  00:15:51 Balancing work travel and parenting  00:17:46 Can you actually find a date at the airport?!  00:25:53 Should you dress up for flights? 00:31:57 Are we wearing fur hoods wrong?! 00:32:41 Our holiday travel plans 00:33:25 Stockings for moms  00:36:22 5 creative ways to wean off the pacifier  00:42:40 Things We DMed Each Other: Positive statistics for kids of working moms 00:45:12 Things We DMed Each Other: Toyota’s self-driving pod for kids 00:50:34 LOVE YOU GUYS!  #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Fabletics: Get 80% off everything on Fabletics when you sign up as a VIP at https://www.fabletics.com/TWOPARENTS. *Aura Frames: Aura Frames is the perfect holiday gift.
