Trigger Warning: This episode goes into detail about a traumatic birthing story

As a board-certified Pediatrician and lactation expert, Dr. Mona has heard every question and concern from new moms under the sun. She wants ALL new parents, moms and dads alike, to know that they are not alone. Tabria and Dr. Mona have an important conversation about both maternal and paternal mental health. When her and her husband experienced the life-altering births of both their children, they witnessed how limited the resources are for parents experiencing postpartum difficulties. Even when a birthing experience is relatively “normal,” parents are rarely encouraged to seek out help. She also believes parents don’t have to accept the common narratives that their lives will just be a little bit worse right after their child is born. And she’s created The New Mom’s Survival Guide to prove it! Tabria takes the opportunity to get some valuable sleep training advice while also lamenting the outrageous lack of paid leave in America.
