Show Notes:
What happens when moms get sick? And why do we never talk about it? Well today, we’re talking about it! Our guest is Whitney Novellino, the director or marketing for a software company and co-workers with Stephanie at Modern Milk! Whitney is a second time mother of a 4-year-old boy and a newborn girl. She’ll share her experience with getting sick right after having her baby, and why it’s important for moms to take care of themselves. As we go, we’ll take a peek into the hectic life of a second time mom in real life as we discuss sleeping tips for newborns, how to have better mornings, the key to managing work life and mom life, and more. Finally, we listen to Whitney’s story about the time a bad reaction from her C-section gave her a health scare. Whether you’re a first time mom, a second time mom, or even more, come and learn how you can take better care of yourself so you can take care of the ones you love!
