Jen and I are both huge fans of co-sleeping. BUT as birth workers we also know that ultimately what is 'best' is going to be what works best for you as a parent. We discuss how co-sleeping is actually a very common practice in most cultures around the world, about the recent changes the AAP made with regards to baby sleeping in the same room, how most people end up doing some form of co-sleeping at some point postpartum, how co-sleeping doesn't always mean baby in bed next to you (there are so many ways to co-sleep) and Jen even spices things but with diving into the questions around 'how to you have sex if you kid is in your bed'.

For our first in-person podcast recording Jen had an intuitive desire to talk about desired and boundaries. First we recorded this episode here on Scheduling vs. Rhythms and ultimately the convo led right back into this topic. These two elements of discovery and communication play such an important role in all your relationships before, during and after baby (including your relationship with yourself).

In this episode we talk about the basics around placentas. If you didn’t already know, many cultures and people out there consume the placenta in different forms after birth. We chat about the benefits, ways (from capsules, tinctures, smoothies…) and why this is done. AND if you are not so into the idea of consuming placenta we talk about placenta ceremonies and why we find them so special to integrate into your post birth experience. Jen also shares what traditionally a 'lotus birth' actually means (beyond just delayed cord cutting).

For our first in-person podcast recording we discuss the benefits and reasons behind schedules and non-schedules. From baby into many years post birth with even a glimpse at how you can start to play with these elements pre-birth. Jen gives some great reframes on how to lean into rhythms and structures to find more ease starting from even pre-conception.

Let's talk Elimination Communication! This topic holds a special place in our hearts because it is how we (Jen and Amanda) originally found each other. We're both super passionate about the topic, so much so we started a Diaper Free Collective with another incredible EC coach Breann to support those looking to explore and try EC. In this convo we talk about what EC is, why we find it so amazing, integrating the practice into modern living and more.
