Lactation Snacks, Newborn Kisses & Being the Default Parent — Listener Q&A

In this off-the-cuff, unfiltered episode of The Early-Momming Podcast, Hillary and Erica go rogue with listener-submitted questions—and nothing is off-limits. From makeup-free podcasting and getting called out by a kid about Venmo, to venting about being the default parent, this episode is full of real talk and hilarious moments.

Join Hillary and Erica as they discuss:

Should you let family kiss your newborn? Are lactation snacks worth the hype? How do you calm a fussy baby at night (without losing your mind)? The mental load of being the default parent How seasoned moms juggle multiple kids in different life stages Erica's hopes—and fears—about future motherhood

It's part Q&A, part confessional, and 100% Early-Momming energy. Raw, real, and ridiculously relatable.
