"You don't have what it takes." That's the sentence that ran through Dr. Becky's head the night her baby threw up an entire bottle on her, minutes before she was due out the door. It's not a sentence parenting experts are “supposed to” have.

Dr. Bec... more

Ten days. Three weeks. Two and a half years. Ask a room full of parents when they first left their baby with someone else, and you'll get every answer there is. Dr. Becky says the number matters less than what's happening underneath it.

Parenting is exhausting. The number of things you have to do to manage it all can feel relentless and nonstop. And no, you’re not doing anything wrong. Many parents feel this way. Today on the show, we're cross-posting a crowd favorite from "Good Ins... more

Cameron Oaks Rogers is pregnant with her third baby, and her 2.5-year-old will not let her out of his sight. Not "clingy" in the normal toddler way — he wants back in, physically, as close to her body as he can get.

  • …And…

    I love listening to Rattled each week AND please include an episode on Postpartum Psychosis. New parents should not be surprised by this- it is highly treatable and the more we talk about it, the less stigma it carries. I have been so happy to see episodes on PPD, PPA, and even Postpartum OCD… but please don’t forget PPP. I had it and never saw it coming. I wish I had known this was something that could have happened.

  • You are not alone !

    I am trying to have a baby soon and am trying to mentally prepare as much as possible. This podcast has been so comforting as it addresses all my fears and more. Conversations on what to expect postpartum when it comes to self identity are lacking! This is amazing thank you!!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Parenting on Empty - Revisit
Q: What can I do to not get burnt out in the first place rather than always recovering from burnout?
Start with self-care as a non-negotiable, create clarity on what's truly contributing to burnout, and practice honest conversations with others about your needs to prevent the cycle from starting or worsening.
Parenting on Empty - Revisit
Q: Dr. Becky, is this normal to feel completely exhausted as a parent, or am I doing something wrong?
It's normal to feel exhausted; many parents experience burnout and it's not your fault. The key is validating your feelings and recognizing that the exhaustion often comes from systemic patterns, not personal failure.
Postpartum Anxiety: The 3 Cycles Running the Show
Q: What does it mean to surf the urge to check, and how should a parent practice it in daily life?
It means recognizing the urge to check, pausing, taking a deep breath, and waiting a brief period before acting, which helps break the automatic link between anxiety and checking. Over time, this reduces the reinforcement of the behavior and lowers the peak of the anxiety.
What If I Don’t Feel a Bond With My Baby?
Q: What did Ruthie expect in the early weeks and how did those expectations compare to reality?
Ruthie describes intense expectations of immediate bonding, the pressure from societal narratives, and how her experiences with donor egg and feeding challenges complicated the feeling of attachment, ultimately showing that bonding can grow over time and isn't a single moment.
I Love My Baby... and I'm So Bored
Q: Was there any aspect of early parenthood that surprised you the most?
The most surprising aspect was realizing she could feel terrible about the experience despite having planned and prepared, and that the bore- dom and monotony hit hard in a way she hadn't anticipated.
