  • Birth Trauma Episode

    Thank you for this episode and for sharing your experience. I went through birth trauma and then a month after birth, we found out our child had heart defects and needed open heart surgery at 3 months old. The “I’m so grateful that he was crying”, and your gratitude, resonated with me SO much. Motherhood really helps put things into perspective! It’s still a painful experience for me to talk about, but I know that I can use the experience to connect with others and that’s pretty special.

  • Not jealous of Hilary

    I recently started listening to this podcast. I like that it’s easy to listen to in the background while I’m doing other things. However, as someone (me) who is skeptical of vaccine safety, it concerns me that someone who is pro vaccine (Dr Peds) also thinks that the reason Hillary Clinton did not win is because women are jealous of her. It makes me question her logic overall.

  • Not backed by actual evidence and or the reality of triple feeding

    In this episode they talk about triple feeding as if it is this horrible thing. It does not have to be. At one point she says pumping takes 45 minutes, which it doesn’t! Never should it! And then, in another part of the episode she says it takes an hour if you include washing. True triple feeding, which you do not have to do at every feeding should take an hour max. The point is to practice breastfeeding if that’s your goal, paced bottle feed and protect your milk supply. It is a temporary plan ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Myth of the "Perfect" Mom: Embracing Ambivalence in Motherhood
Q: Why is naming the feeling such a crucial first step?
Naming the feeling moves it from taboo to acknowledged, enabling mothers to explore it safely, build a supportive community, and model honesty and emotional literacy for their children.
The Follow-Up: Dads and Postpartum
Q: How do you determine the severity of eczema in a child?
I assess both the extent of the body surface area affected and the intensity, looking at redness, skin thickness, scratch marks, and lichenification, then I use standardized scoring tools like EASI to quantify severity.
The Follow-Up: Extinction Sleep Training
Q: When you decided to sleep train, how old were your sons?
The oldest was six months and the youngest four months; the six-month-old was trained first using a consistent bedtime routine and gradual departure from the room, which gradually reduced crying as the child learned to self-soothe.
IVF, Ovulation, and Fertility Facts and Myths Everyone Should Know with Dr. Lucky Sekhon
Q: What should someone expect at the first visit to a fertility specialist?
Expect a comprehensive intake, ultrasound, blood work, possibly genetic carrier testing, semen analysis for the partner, and a collaborative discussion about goals, risks, and timelines, followed by a personalized plan.
IVF, Ovulation, and Fertility Facts and Myths Everyone Should Know with Dr. Lucky Sekhon
Q: Can you walk us through what IVF actually involves and when someone might need it?
IVF starts with a fertility workup (checking tubes, uterus, egg and sperm quality), then egg retrieval after ovarian stimulation, fertilization in the lab, and embryo transfer, with decisions tailored to the patient's age, anatomy, and test results; it's not the only path and often not the first option.
