Sami and Aleen are joined once again by everyone’s favorite registered dietician, Tracy Lockwood Beckerman.

They discuss the best place to get advice as a new mom (virtual support groups exist btw) and some of the biggest challenges you may face. They talk about “mom guilt” and all the unnecessary drama around breastmilk vs. formula, then Tracy also tells us how her nutrition views have changed since becoming a mom. They discuss why planning goes out the window at a certain point, along with the pressure to get back in shape after giving birth. Finally, they close on a positive note with some good news about what motherhood brings to your life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
