EP22 Postpartum care, two under two, sleep training, and more from my time in Mexico!
Manage episode 311553551 series 3141728
Today on the Not A Mama Yet Podcast, I am recapping my time in Mexico for the past three weeks with my cousin Dyani.
I was there as a source of familial support while also gaining invaluable experience for my postpartum doula training. A big part of the episode is going over sleep training and how Dyani did it with her first child and is doing it now with her newborn.
We get into the nitty gritty of being a parent and caregiver to two small children, I will warn you now that we do talk about baby poop and vomit, it just comes with the territory so if you get queasy or uncomfortable, this is your heads up!
I basically got to go through a three-week bootcamp on parenting and today we are sharing what that was like for both me and for Dyani. I say it in the episode, and I’ll say it again now, if you plan on having kids one day and have a family or close friend having babies, if you can offer any level of support to them I highly recommend it.
Learning daily routines, tips and tricks, and even learning what you might not want to do as a parent are all great things to be exposed to. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Not A Mama Yet Podcast!
