- Unique
I listen to a lot of parenting podcasts and this is one of the only ones that discusses going that extra mile with so many choices like cosleeping (or lying with a toddler until they fall asleep), breastfeeding as long as possible, reading books, being present for play with a toddler even when we feel exhausted from a newborn. These women are humble and funny and incredibly relatable.
