Summary
In this solo episode, I answer listener questions on all things postpartum parenting, from the hardest part about transitioning from one to two kids; to how we try to manage toddler tantrums. I share how our current childcare looks, how we tackle division of labor and how that has evolved, and how I deal with “Mom jealousy” rather than Mom guilt. I also discuss prioritizing alone time, navigating not being able to give my first child undivided attention anymore, and how my mental health is right now postpartum. Finally, I share how to set boundaries during postpartum, how we have navigated sex and intimacy postpartum, and what my “fuck, marry, kill: postpartum edition” looks like between postpartum doula, toddler childcare, and meal trains.
