 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.
