Ever been asked, “Is your baby sleeping through the night yet?” and wanted to throw a rattle at someone? Same.

In this episode of Call Your Mom Friends, Amey (IBCLC), Lauren (labor nurse), and Charity (bodyworker) get real about the biggest lies new moms are told—from the myth of magical overnight sleepers to diaper industry marketing ploys that keep us buying boxes for way too long.

We kick things off with the highs and lows of mom life (think girls’ trips with toddlers, unexpected bathtub confessions, and a Jonas Brothers concert for “mental health”).

But the heart of this conversation? Unpacking the myths of modern motherhood: nighttime parenting, breastfeeding “rules,” pacifiers, tongue ties, sleep training, and how techy baby gadgets sometimes mess with our instincts more than they help. You’ll laugh, nod along, and maybe even shout “PREACH” at your phone.

Because here’s the truth: there’s no one-size-fits-all to raising babies—and if someone says otherwise, well…we’ve got receipts (and science).

Tune in for the mom truths, the giggles, and the solidarity you need to feel a little less alone on this wild ride from bump to baby (and beyond).

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Parenting comes with both highs and lows, including travel experiences.
• The pressure to have babies sleep through the night is a common myth.
• Mindful use of parenting products is essential.
• Breastfeeding is often misunderstood as being easy, but it has its challenges.
• Community support is crucial for new parents.
• Technology can both help and hinder parenting instincts.
• The dyad of mother and baby needs to be addressed together.
• There is a need for open discussions about the realities of motherhood.

✨ Fridays are for Call Waiting — our weekly mom-friend call-in segment where real moms share raw, hilarious, and relatable stories you won’t hear in the school pickup line.
