About this episode

Sami and Andrew Spalter discuss their experiences with newborn life, postpartum challenges, and parenting decisions in a candid Q+A format.

Sami and Andrew are back together for a Q+A answering everything you've been sending in — from the emergency C-section and postpartum hormones to formula feeding, night nurses, and what it's actually like being new parents. Tune in as they walk through the questions that hit closest to home: what Andrew's role really looked like during the birth, why day five postpartum was the hardest night of both of their lives, and how Sami is navigating postpartum depression with a new therapist and radical acceptance around her birth story. They get into the formula feeding decision — what led to it, how hard it was to accept, and why a fed baby is a healthy baby, full stop. And they're honest about the marriage piece too: finding time for yourself, over-communicating with your partner, and what it looks like to be on the same team when everything is harder than you expected. If you're in the newborn stage or postpartum right now and some days feel like too much, this one will make you feel less alone. Transform Instagram -  click here!
