  • 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

Breaking Cycles Without Perfect Parenting with Eli Harwood (Attachmentnerd) | Ep. 165
