Welcome to the toddler trenches: ages 2 to 4, aka the "are you still a baby or just my drunkest roommate?" phase.

In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the hot mess that is toddlerhood - where logic goes to die and granola bars break your spirits.

We get into:

• Why they’re still babies until 4 (yes, really)
• The full-body meltdowns that start over nothing and end with you questioning everything
• Picking daycares, preschools, and camps like it’s a college application
• The gear and toys that we didn’t expect to love and the ones that majorly flopped
• Why giving your toddler “chores” might actually keep you from fully losing it
• And the wild, sticky, feral energy of raising little boys

Plus, we're sharing some personal chaos updates like panic-enrolling in camp at 11:59 PM, pretending we love how our toddlers “fold” laundry, and wondering if anyone's kid actually sits still.

If you're deep in toddler chaos or bracing for it soon, consider this your group chat with moms who get it - no filter, no shame, just here to make sure you don't feel totally insane.

Welcome to our no-BS guide to baby gear. In this episode, we’re breaking down the newborn products we actually used (and loved) - and the ones that made us question all our life choices. From bottles and breast pumps to crib mattresses, pacifiers, and yes... the infamous wipe warmer, we’re sharing what worked, what didn’t, and what you can skip entirely.

We cover:

• Bottles that saved us vs. bottles that drove us feral

• The breast pumps that actually gave us freedom

• Crib mattresses, swaddles, diaper bags, and more

• Registry regrets, wipe warmer disasters, and why baby shoes are a scam

Plus our takes on the Nanit monitor, BIBS pacifiers, Frida Mom nail clippers, and other viral baby products everyone tells you to buy.

Real talk from two moms, four kids, and way too many Amazon orders.If you're pregnant, building a registry, or just deep in the newborn trenches - this one’s for you.

We thought it would be funny to take pregnancy tests just for content… and then we accidentally switched them, and one came back positive.

In true Baby Then What fashion, what started as a lighthearted, just-for-fun idea turned into absolute chaos. One of us is pregnant… maybe?! But whose test is it?! And what do we even do now?!

This episode is wild, emotional, a little unhinged, and everything we didn’t expect, but honestly, it’s kind of the perfect metaphor for motherhood: nothing goes to plan, and you’re just along for the ride.

We’re bringing you behind the scenes of the moment it all went down, the laughs, the panic, the “wait, what?!” reactions, and figuring it out in real-time together.

Watch until the very end, the reveal is WORTH IT. Then head to the comments and tell us your own pregnancy test story, the surprises, the scares, the joy, the chaos.

With love (and maybe a positive test?),

Nobody really warns you about this part of pregnancy — but we’re gonna say it out loud.

This week, we’re getting real about what it feels like when your friendships start shifting during pregnancy and postpartum.
The friends who stopped texting. The ones who bailed before your baby shower even hit the calendar. The ones you thought would be there... and just weren't.

We’re sharing our own stories (the messy, the painful, the surprisingly freeing), plus the stories you sent in. We're talking about how awkward it can be trying to make new mom friends when you barely recognize yourself — and why it's not just okay, but necessary, to let go of friendships that don’t fit the woman you are now.

If you’ve ever sat there, holding your phone, feeling like nobody gets it anymore... if you’ve ever cried over a friend you thought would be forever... or if you’ve found magic in the people who showed up when it mattered most — this episode is for you.
You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not the only one feeling it.
