Hi Lady! I've been interviewed for 2 different podcasts lately, and each host has asked me to share the one main thing I want women to know about or do during postpartum. My one main thing is: Build a Grandma Tribe. Today I'm talking about why to start one (including why I say you have to 'build' one) and how to do so in a painless way.

Hi Lady! Here's how things went at my first lactation consultant appointment (and what you can expect if you work with a LC yourself), plus why I sought one out and the exact moment all my stress about feeding/weight gain/pee and poops went away.

Hi Lady! Postpartum hair loss is a real deal, and I'm in the thick (or thin!) of it now. Let's talk what causes it, how long it lasts, whether biotin and other over the counter products can slow it down, and then the type of haircut that can help it look fuller.

Hi Lady! Social media drives a narrative that other people (even family members) are a threat to our baby's immune system. But does that viewpoint unnecessarily isolate new moms, especially firsttime moms? I weigh in with the experience I've gained as a mom of five.

Hi Lady! This week I'm sharing another guest episode, hosted by my friend Caitlin Lasnoski, who recently gave birth to baby #11. As I texted her to check in during her first week postpartum, she told me she was observing the 5-5-5 Rule. I was intrigued. The more I learned, the more I wanted others to know about it too, and she graciously agreed to share her experience. ***Head's up that there will be no new episode next week as I take a week off after Cecilia's Baptism + celebration.
