About this episode

Avery Woods shares her experiences and insights on postpartum and newborn life, offering real talk for new and expecting moms.

Avery is putting her nurse hat back on. In this solo episode, she pulls from her years as a PICU and NICU nurse and her own postpartum experience to give new and expecting moms the real talk nobody else will. She opens up about the night feeds that broke her, the guilt she carried as a working mom who couldn't afford the fancy stuff, and why social media is setting mothers up to feel like failures. Then she runs through her full list of baby and postpartum must-haves, the same one ICU doctors used to ask her for. Fed is best, sleep when the baby sleeps, and trust your gut.
