Happy Thursday! In today’s episode, we dive into baby feeding – breast, bottle, combo – all of it. We’re answering all YOUR questions—my personal breastfeeding journey, the mental struggles of breastfeeding, and what we’ve learned about formulas in the US vs. Europe. This is probably my #1 asked topic on social (and honestly, what’s on my mind most of the time), so I’m excited we sat down and shared our experience / what we’ve learned.

BUT ALSO, we share a funny (and sleep-deprived) mistake we made (think: Dude, where’s my car?), the Valentine’s Day present gone wrong (gift saga part 2983479), and apparently, Harrison got held up at gunpoint one time??

As always, we love sharing our parenting journey with you, so we hope this episode gives you laughs and some helpful insights (disclaimer: our research is ChatGPT heavy and this isn’t “Two Doctors & a Pod” so please don’t take this as ADVICE). And - one last thing - we’re still LEARNING.. appreciate any and all thoughts, formula recs, and resources in the comments!!!!

We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Happy Thursday! In today’s episode, Harrison and I are revisiting the “money talk” from episode 10 of Just Alex (RIP, but here's the link: https://youtu.be/8CUxKXQNztk) and breaking down how our financial plans have changed post-baby. We’re diving into our joint finances (what we said we were gonna do, but spoiler alert: didn’t), the costs of childcare, and how we’re setting up a college fund for Tate. We also chat about everything from the costs of parenthood we didn’t expect, to what’s been surprisingly expensive, and other ways we’re planning for the future (are we putting the baby on payroll???).

Plus, as always - we've got a few laughs along the way – including what I almost threw at Harrison, things we DMed eachother, and an even deeper dive into the scam that is girl scout cookies (ALL ALLEGED).

As always, we love sharing our experiences and just need to make the disclaimer: THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!! Whether you're in a relationship, expecting, or just curious about how others handle money, we hope this episode sparks some useful conversations.

We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

On THIS WEEK’s episode – We’re diving into a juicy Q&A about s*x, intimacy, and date nights post-baby (and other Qs but that's the juicy stuff)! We talk all things keeping the spark alive as parents, navigating intimacy while breastfeeding, and how we've avoid falling into any sort of "roommate phase" (disclaimer: we know, we know - we're still new at this). We also touch on some of your other questions like managing anxiety around milk supply, coping with a tough pregnancy, and tips for taking your baby everywhere (yes, even to a hockey game 4 hours away!).

And of course, we’ve got some hilarious parenting confessions (well - I think they are hilarious... I think Harrison says "not funny" like 10x) and a talk about sl*tty pumping (don’t ask, just listen).

As always, if you're here for parenting advice, don’t get too excited – we’re just figuring it out along the way and sharing our experiences with you. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Welcome to the FIRST episode of Two Parents & A Podcast (feels weird not saying ‘back to another episode of Just Alex!!!’). Really gonna keep this low-key - this is the same show you guys know (and love?) - we just finally got around to that rebrand we’ve been promising. (Honestly how many more time could I have said “it’s just Alex aaaaaand Harrison’s here with me tooooo......” hahahha). So here we are, Two Parents & A Podcast - we’ll continue to invite y’all into our home weekly (sorry it’s so messy - we’re new parents) to talk all things parenting, relationships, trending topics, entrepreneurship, and the occasional conspiracy theory.

On THIS WEEK’s episode - we get an update from Harrison on attending his first bachelor party as a dad. My first weekend alone with the babe had me thinking a lot about parental identity shift & grieving the pre-baby life, so we dive deep into this and my takeaways from the weekend (also just need to say - S/O TO SINGLE MOMS… you guys are super heroes).

Next we’re laughing at the things we DMed eachother - backseat driving and having two babies at once (not twins??). Harrison DOESN’T laugh at the drunk confession I saw on IG that was hilarious. And we finish out the episode with a very valid questions: Where does your Girl Scout cookie money actually go?!

One last thing, if you’re new here!!! If you came here for parenting advice - definitely the wrong podcast… But we try our best to share our experiences - this week y’all asked about when you should/when will we move the baby out of the bedroom (answer: we don’t know but we’ll obviously keep you updated).

As always - LOVE YOU GUYS!

Welcome back to Just Alex! In today’s episode, we’re talking about fertility after giving birth and trying for baby #2. This week we learned we need to be managing screen time for our 3-month-old (WHO KNEW?!). And I’m dealing with some serious nanny guilt (plus, guilt if I’m not being productive enough while the nanny is here (make it make sense!!!!)). We also talk betting markets again (I’m still so confused that you can bet on ANYTHING) - the TikTok ban, the U.S. possibly buying Greenland, and you can finally bet on the U.S. annexing Canada. OK - Love you guys!

Welcome back to Just Alex! HAPPY NEW YEAR (absolute last week I can say this so I’m getting it in). We’re talking about the perks of a nanny share—we now have TWO babes at home every day (a little taste of what twins would be like!!) Plus, Harrison and I discuss how men’s sperm can affect pregnancy, the ins and outs of sperm donation (and whether he’s ever done it... 👀). We dive into the what ifs around Canada becoming the 51st state—does this mean he automatically gets U.S. citizenship?! 🤔 We’re laughing thinking about how we would explain this to Tate hahaha. We take a little brain break with a trip down memory lane with childhood nostalgia (Blue’s Clues, Beanie Babies & Princess Diana) and we have question for you guys: Who is the modern-day Princess Diana? Let us know!

As always, LOVE YOU GUYS!

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! So, hypothetically—if you’ve exhausted all resources and anticipated all needs—what’s the least amount of cries a 3-month-old could have in a day?! And who's gonna tell Harrison it's more than 3?? Anyways, Christmas/Hanukkah (Chanukah????) are next week, so we discuss what we were doing this time last year, what we’re getting each other as presents, and do newborns need gifts?! (Is a stock a gift??)

Then we try out some new segments: Things We’ve DMed Each Other (Influencers making fun of their kids, Bitcoin at $100k), Biggest Parenting Fail of the Week (write us in yours!!), and Today I Learned (see: Chanukah).

OK—HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! We love you guys.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! First up, we’re talking about what it’s really like to go from having a nanny to being on our own—spoiler alert: the house is a disaster. Harrison talks us through his visa renewal process (he got it!!!!) and we touch on our potential plans to move abroad anyways?! 

We just got back from our LA trip where a restaurant served Harrison raw chicken… Yep, that happened. So we spent like 20 mins recounting our worst restaurant horror stories!!! 

We wrapped it up with a few quick new parent topics - dream feeding, bringing babies to bars, tipping babysitters, and bringing your newborn out in public.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! This week, we dive into some of the baby rules we wish we could break (if it was safe)—like co-sleeping or holding our baby in the car (we know, we know). Also - not really a rule - but are parents swearing in front of their kids in 2024?! Then, it’s all about newborn travel: I'm stressed about flying with our baby (maybe because we’ve done it once before) while Harrison’s surprisingly chill about it (also maybe because we’ve done it once before). Finally, we talk about dad bods (and mom bods!)—how parenthood is changing both of our approaches to fitness, and how we’re adjusting as parents.

As always, thanks for tuning in, and we love you guys!
