Learning To Mom ® Motherhood Podcast for First Time Moms, New Moms and Expecting Mothers

Worried you're going to pass down the same patterns you grew up with? This episode is FOR YOU.
Eli Harwood (Attachment Nerd) is back, and she's breaking down what cycle breaking actually looks like day to day, without the pressure to heal everything before your kid turns five.
In this episode we get into:
What does breaking generational cycles actually look like in everyday parenting
How much of the time do you have to get it right for your kid to be securely attached
Why do I keep repeating my parents' patterns even though I swore I never would
Do I need to heal myself before I can be a good parent
How do I learn parenting skills that were never modeled for me
How do I get my husband to work on his stuff without it turning into a fight
What do I do after I lose my temper with my kids
Her words, and I have not stopped thinking about them: what has been traumatically created over generations will be healed over generations. You're ONE person. You get to do your part.

Still leaking when you sneeze and quietly assuming that's just your life now, even though you may not be FRESH postpartum? Or faithfully doing your Kegels and wondering why NOTHING is actually getting better? Then BUCKLE UP mom friend!!!
This week I sat down with Christina of Tighten Your Tinkler to talk about the pelvic floor conversation nobody continues past those early postpartum months. We get into why Kegels are so often the wrong answer, the real difference between a weak and a tight pelvic floor (and why it completely changes what you should be doing), why pain during sex can show up a year or two later out of nowhere, and whether it's ever truly too late to fix this stuff. If you've been pushing through and hoping it just resolves on its own, this one might change your mind.

In this episode, we dive into:
does online pelvic floor therapy actually work without an internal assessment
why nobody talks about the pelvic floor after the postpartum period ends
can pelvic floor problems cause painful sex a year or two later
What is the difference between a weak pelvic floor and a tight pelvic floor
how do you know if you have a tight or weak pelvic floor
is it ever too late to fix pelvic floor issues or do you need surgery
a good first step if you are leaking or feeling tight
why Kegels are not the answer for most moms
what happens to your pelvic floor at 60 or 70 if you ignore it now
what actually counts as the postpartum period
why pelvic floor symptoms come back with the next pregnancy

Cosleeping expert Tiffany Belanger of Cosleepy breaks all things toddler cosleeping down for us. There will be a time (intentionally or not) that you cosleep with your toddler, so it's important to know how to do it safely, so don't miss this episode!!

This week I sat down with my friend Tiffany of Cosleepy to pick up where her newborn episode left off (if your baby is under 12 months, go listen to that one first). We're getting into the toddler years. Whether your toddler has to move out when the new baby comes, and how to start prepping the second you find out you're pregnant so it isn't a shock. Tiffany's story about going from one to two is worth the whole episode. We also get into what actually changes after the first birthday, when the comforter and pillow can come back, how to make bed sharing with a wild little kicker halfway comfortable, and how kids eventually leave your bed on their own. No program. No plan. Nobody crying.
In this episode, we get into:
Co sleeping with a newborn and a toddler at the same time
Does my toddler have to leave the bed when the new baby comes
How to prep your toddler for a new baby if you bed share
How to transition your toddler out of your bed
When do kids stop co sleeping
What changes about safe co sleeping after your baby turns one
When can a toddler have a pillow and blanket in your bed
When is it safe to bring the comforter back
How to make co sleeping with a toddler more comfortable
Using a floor bed or extra mattress in your room
The Safe Sleep Seven rules for bed sharing
How to bed share safely if you are not breastfeeding
Why the baby does not go between mom and dad
Why most sleep accidents happen on couches and not beds
