Episode 7, Season 2: Kyle chats with Sara about why she chose sleep training, her story into parenthood, and bullshit expectations around breastfeeding

Kyle zooms with new pal Sara about her experience with sleep training, queer-mom life (including adventures in step parenting), and their shared dislike for the bullshit expectations society places on gestational parents to breastfeed.

CW: discussion of sleep training, fertility struggles, tubal ligation, and endometriosis, mention of miscarriage, IUI, negative feelings around water breaking, hospital birth, watching yourself give birth, postpartum depression and sleep, fear of SIDS with co-sleeping, breastfeeding and weaning, pressures to sleep train and breastfeed, and use of profanity.
