  • Love it!

    Love this podcast! I’m six weeks postpartum and as someone who doesn’t have friends in the same season of motherhood it’s been so nice finding your podcast to relate with! I love learning about ways to support our child’s development and flourish as a mom!

  • Great info and perspective!

    If you want to learn about all things motherhood from the Laila’s perspective of “is this the best thing for you and baby or just a cultural norm?” You will love this podcast. I started listening when a bunch of my friends became pregnant and I knew that I would start TTC in the next year or so and the info was super helpful!! I have never really been around babies so it gave me so much more confidence about different subjects. She picks subjects to interview about that I think are super helpful... more

  • Only for certain mom types

    I listened to the first season when I was a new mom and I thought it was helpful however I think the topics going forward are a little bit out of my area of preference. I was at C-section mama, formula fed, daycare, no birth plan (go with the flow and what’s best) and working parent. I think this podcast really is catering more to breastfeeding, organic natural , anti vax, birth plans and stay at home mamas! I think it’s great for those kind of mamas but that’s just not me :)

  • Getting worse

    I feel like the first season of this show was pretty great and it has slowly been getting worse. Some of the guests are still good, but others are just pushing their own agenda and have no evidence to back up their statements. Or maybe they do, but we don’t get to hear it because the host admits she cuts out 30-45 minutes of “some of the best parts” of each interview and puts it behind a paywall. She claims it’s for the algorithm, but I still think it’s all an odd thing to say. I know she needs ... more

Co Sleeping with a toddler: safety rules, sibling transitions, and is it time for it to end? (with Tiffany Belanger from Cosleepy) | Ep. 163
Q: What are the seven rules for safe co-sleeping when the baby is under a year old?
The seven rules emphasize back-sleeping, side nursing in a way that keeps the baby in a safe cuddle position, dressing the baby lightly, avoiding alcohol or prescription sedatives, ensuring a smoke-free home, keeping the sleep surface clear of hazards, managing gaps between mattress and bed frame, and recognizing that breastfeeding can confer safety advantages while non-breastfed babies can follow similar protective positioning.
Co Sleeping with a toddler: safety rules, sibling transitions, and is it time for it to end? (with Tiffany Belanger from Cosleepy) | Ep. 163
Q: What would you like the world to know about co-sleeping before diving into toddlers?
Co-sleeping has deep, cross-cultural roots and can be a natural, responsive way to comfort and monitor a baby; the key is safety and adaptability to the child's developmental stage, rather than rigid, one-size-fits-all rules.
How to Choose the Right Family Car for Your Growing Family (Without Overpaying) with The Car Coach | Ep. 153
Q: How can listeners negotiate better when buying a car?
Do your homework with sources like Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book, know the Conquest and Loyalty discounts, bring documentation to show you've done your homework, and be prepared to walk away if the deal isn't favorable.
How to Choose the Right Family Car for Your Growing Family (Without Overpaying) with The Car Coach | Ep. 153
Q: What about leasing versus buying for families on budgets?
If you drive 10-15k miles a year, a standard three-year lease can be economical with lower payments; avoid longer leases beyond the warranty period and compare with certified pre-owned options to balance cost and long-term value.
How to Choose the Right Family Car for Your Growing Family (Without Overpaying) with The Car Coach | Ep. 153
Q: When choosing a car for your growing family, where do we start?
Start by assessing how many kids and car seats you have, then consider three-row options like minivans or SUVs, focusing on safety features and how the back row fits car seats and strollers before considering price.
