The Truth About Postpartum Sex & Workouts, Toddler Behavior + Natasha’s IBCLC Journey

We're back on the couch with overflow from our 50th episode topic requests - and per usual, it's fun while also being educational. This week Natasha and Taylor get into the postpartum topics that nobody talks about honestly enough, starting with postpartum sex (or the lack thereof). Natasha breaks down the actual biology behind low libido while breastfeeding - prolactin, estrogen, vaginal dryness - so you can stop blaming yourself and start blaming hormones. Plus: a note to partners everywhere.Since Taylor is 10 weeks postpartum, we're talking about the pumping pressure myth - because no, you don't have to introduce bottles or build a freezer stash, and more moms need to hear that. Natasha shares her IBCLC journey, including the brutal triple-feeding experience with her first that sent her down the path to becoming a lactation consultant. Taylor answers listener questions about birth positions and how to prepare for an unmedicated hospital birth as a birth educator and doula - including why hiring a doula might be the single best decision you make (and why it's evidence based).We also respond to a moving momTALK voicemail from a listener working in neonatology who's newly pregnant and navigating serious pregnancy anxiety - and talk about why who and what you're surrounded with matters when it comes to worry during pregnancy.Plus: the dad bod double standard, changing table discourse part two, rushing your toddler with zero guilt, and the sneaky nighttime diaper slide hack.Topics covered:- Postpartum sex drive & the biology of why breastfeeding tanks your libido- Why lube is not optional - it's biology- The pumping pressure myth & breastfeeding without bottles- Natasha's IBCLC journey & what triple feeding actually is, as well as her experience with it- Best birth positions for medicated & unmedicated labor- How to prepare for an unmedicated hospital birth (hint: hire a doula)- Pregnancy and birth anxiety- Toddler park tantrum survival tips- Traveling with a babyXX,Natasha & Taylor
