We’ve Got Questions: Pregnancy Over 40 Is Rising, Mom’s Multitasking—And the WHO Reduces Age Babies Can Drink Cow’s Milk

In this candid and sharply witty episode of Healing After Birth, Nana Eyeson-Akiwowo and Marcia Cole dive into three hot-button topics that hit at the heart of modern motherhood. First, they unpack the rise in births among women over 40 and the sharp decline in teen pregnancies, asking: is motherhood over 40 the new norm—and are we prepared for the perimenopause overlap? Next, they dig into a viral post about moms on their phones at the playground, sparking a no-holds-barred conversation on multitasking, mom guilt, and the double standards between mothers and fathers. Finally, they show real concern over the WHO guidelines recommending cow’s milk for infants under six months—raising questions about gut health, lactose intolerance in Black babies, and the cow lobby's suspiciously strong PR game. Full of laughs, truth bombs, and side-eye-worthy stats, this episode is a must-listen for every mom navigating judgment, data, and diapers.
