Freckled Foodie & Friends

In this solo episode, I answer listener questions on all things postpartum parenting, from the hardest part about transitioning from one to two kids; to how we try to manage toddler tantrums. I share how our current childcare looks, how we tackle division of labor and how that has evolved, and how I deal with “Mom jealousy” rather than Mom guilt. I also discuss prioritizing alone time, navigating not being able to give my first child undivided attention anymore, and how my mental health is right now postpartum. Finally, I share how to set boundaries during postpartum, how we have navigated sex and intimacy postpartum, and what my “fuck, marry, kill: postpartum edition” looks like between postpartum doula, toddler childcare, and meal trains.Key Takeaway / Points:The hardest part about transitioning from one to two kidsHow to manage toddler tantrums, from riding the wave to going outsideHow our current childcare looksHow we tackle division of labor now, and how it has evolvedOn feeling Mom jealousy vs. Mom guil
