The Coffee Got Cold

My name is Erica, and I'm the creator of Coffee Cold - the podcast where this mama of a 9-month-old keeps it real about the beautiful mess of motherhood. Each week, I invite you into my world of sleepless nights, cold coffee, and the everyday joys of watching my daughter grow.

In my latest episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on our daily routine - from contact naps and first foods to finding pockets of creativity between diaper changes. I share my approach to cycle syncing, how I balance self-care with baby needs, and why I'm creating a virtual community called "Between SIPs" for moms who crave connection beyond sleep schedules.

Whether you're struggling with contact naps, wondering about baby-led weaning, or simply looking for authentic mom talk, this podcast is your judgment-free zone. Every baby is different, every mom journey unique - I'm just here sharing mine, cold coffee and all.

Join me every week for honest conversations about motherhood, wellness, pursuing business dreams, and building the life we want while raising tiny humans. Subscribe now and let's navigate this wild journey together!

Hey mama! In this episode, I'm getting raw and real about my breastfeeding journey with my 4-month-old Joelle. From confidently telling my nurse "I took a course!" to crying on the way home from our lactation consultant, I'm sharing it all. If you're wondering about breastfeeding with implants, struggling with latching, considering mixed feeding, or navigating the emotional rollercoaster of feeding your baby - this episode is for you.

I dive deep into:

• My experience breastfeeding and pumping with breast implants
• The reality of triple feeding (and why it worked for us)
• What actually helped with milk supply
• How we handled latching struggles
• The emotional journey of changing feeding plans
• Working with lactation consultants (including the one who made me cry!)
• Tips for pumping success
• Finding peace with mixed feeding

Whether you're exclusively breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding, or somewhere in between, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone in your journey. Remember, fed is best, and you're doing amazing, mama!
