  • E6 Just Put the Baby to Bed (6 Weeks)

    Play Episode 6

    We talk milk: breast feeding, bottle feeding, we learn about paced bottle feeding. I guess some parents get lucky and are able to just put their baby in the bassinet and walk away. CJ does not allow this, but we discuss different sleeping methods. We have a big update regarding our child care fiasco. We are trying cloth diapers and discuss all the different kinds that are out there. Our family goes on our first road trip together, there’s a lot of stuff to pack into the car. All that and much more.

    Sorry for the technical difficulties with this episode. I now realize that what happened is the wrong sound device was selected for recording. So instead of recording our nice sound board I was recording using the built-in microphone on my laptop. Which is why I didn’t hear the bad audio in my headphones that are hooked up to the sound board. My apologies, I hope you can tough it through the bad audio for this one episode. Episode length is 45:15.

  • E5 The First Week (At Home)

    Play Episode 5

    CJ is home! Our house has a baby in it. We thought we had everything we would need, but Alex gets sent to Target almost every day.  We discuss following the “rule book” vs trying what might work for you. All babies are different and CJ is no exception.  We discover a strategy to let Bethany get four to six hours of uninterrupted sleep. We explore probiotics, gas drops, vitamin D, and gripe water.  What’s gripe water and why am I giving it to my baby? We get a bombshell of bad news (don’t worry it’s not health related).  Find out what it is by listening now. Please subscribe and rate us! Episode length 39:06.
