FIM 76: Resources for New Moms with Mariela Desantiago


Listen Later

Being a new mom is overwhelming. Everything in your life has changed, your body is completely different and healing from the trauma of birth, and you have a tiny human to keep alive.

Is the baby supposed to cry this much? Why is their poop black? Why is breastfeeding so hard? How do I sleep train this kid???

As a new mom, you have so many questions. And in this day and age, when we have questions, we turn to Google. Yes, there are answers, but….there are so.many.different.answers. (Emphasis on different). How do you know which opinion is the right one?

Host Amanda Haro, burnout and confidence coach for moms, is joined by Mariela Desantiago, host of the New Mom Talk podcast, which is all about connecting new moms with researched based advice.

They discuss:

  • How there is no 1 right way to parent

  • The need for more support for women postpartum

  • How new moms can advocate to get the help they need postpartum

  • Setting boundaries with visitors after baby is born

  • Navigating body changes postpartum with self love

  • Getting out of mom guilt

  • Connect more with Mariela.
