The 411 on Newborns: Eating, Sleeping & Spitting Up (w/ Dr. Ari Brown)
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're back with Dr. Ari Brown (Pediatrician + author of the iconic 411 series) for our newborn 411 episode!! We are officially in the thick of it with Rocky and we had a LONG list of questions for her (+ a TON from you guys!). We start with Dr. Ari walking us through "Hour 49" (the moment the wheels fall off after the hospital and you suddenly have a different baby!), the ONE thing no one tells you before having a newborn (spoiler: how exhausting it actually is + body recovery is REAL), & why what happens at the hospital stays at the hospital. Then we get into all things feeding: scheduled feeding vs. feeding on demand, why the first 2 hours after birth are SO critical for your milk supply, how to know if your baby is actually getting enough milk (ins, outs, weight checks!), and the FULL reflux 101 breakdown because Rocky has been spitting up like crazy and we needed answers. We get into reflux vs. reflux DISEASE (when to actually worry, the IGERQ scale you can take online to score it, and why holding your reflux baby like a loaf of bread is actually genius). Plus, a spontaneous BICKER OF THE WEEK on whether bottle temperature actually matters for newborns (Dr. Ari has thoughts!!). We also get into the REAL symptoms of cow's milk protein allergies (only 3% of babies actually have them!! And why you should NOT cut everything out of your diet), what to actually look for in your baby's poop (yellow seedy = breastfed normal, slimy mucousy = problem), diaper blowouts (when they stop and why they happen in the first place lol), fussiness & colic + Dr. Ari's take on probiotics for newborns (very fascinating!), and the chiropractic care for newborns. Plus, we get into sleep: sleep schedules in the first 3 months & when wake windows actually start to matter (spoiler: NOT in the newborn phase!). Then our “is it normal?!” questions from YOU GUYS: when newborn noises are actually concerning (consistent grunting = call your doctor!), when to actually take your baby's temperature (rectal is the only accurate way, sorry parents!), and what to expect at your follow up pediatrician appointments. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! (The 411 with Dr. Ari Brown: Newborns) 00:01:50 Is Rocky “sleeping through the night”?!

Adults-only dining, daddy-daughter dates & is THIS the only way kids actually learn?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!!! We are coming off of a SOCIAL weekend (read: Harrison is doing another fast, but we ALSO have tons of fun topics that came out of it). We start with a survey finding that's going viral: 75% of Americans say restaurants should have adults-only sections. 1) We kind of think this already exists (on the down low… hostesses let us know), and 2) there is a HUGE opportunity for someone to create a Hillstone x Chuck E. Cheese crossover. Then we're asking: is THIS the ONLY way kids will actually learn??? (We need to know how YOU would have handled the Tate vs. Coke Zero situation - but we’re happy we treated it as a learning opportunity) And another reminder this week: toddlers imitate EVERYTHING (burping your newborn is confusing for your toddler who is not allowed to “hit”). Oh, and body wash is officially being picked up by toes in the shower (watch the full ep for details AND send help). Plus, a 4th of July idea you can steal (the neighborhood bike parade!!), SEEKING TIPS on how to stop a toddler from drinking pool water (our toddler’s brain is genuinely in a pretzel over this one), the street safety monster (??), our BICKER OF THE WEEK on showing up late vs. empty handed (we are FIRMLY on opposite sides), the Houston students stuck on a Galveston roller coaster (Alex would be scaling the roller coaster herself), our TWEET OF THE WEEK on the dad doing monthly daddy-daughter dates (Harrison is officially stealing this), and THINGS WE DMED EACHOTHER on Google releasing 32 MILLION mosquitoes (don't worry, they can't bite OR reproduce). (P.S. sorry I was on speakerphone it’s only for this episode!!!! -Jules) LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:06:10 75% of Americans support adults-only dining at restaurants?! 00:22:58 Is THIS is the only way kids learn?! 00:25:44 Toddlers really imitate EVERYTHING you do (but this one surprised us) 00:28:17 Triple date debrief 00:31:12 4TH OF JULY IDEA: Neighborhood Bike Parade 00:35:40 Would you try the “street monster”?! 00:38:12 SEEKING TIPS: How to stop your toddler from drinking pool water 00:39:09 BICKER OF THE WEEK: showing up late vs. showing up empty handed 00:44:01 Houston students rescued from stuck Galveston roller coaster 00:53:36 TWEET OF THE WEEK: Monthly daddy-daughter dates 00:57:08 THINGS WE DMED EACHOTHER: Google is releasing 32 MILLION mosquitoes?! 1:01:10 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Merit Beauty: Merit Beauty is offering our listeners their Signature Makeup Bag with your first order at https://www.MeritBeauty.com. *Perelel: Exclusive for our listeners, new customers can enjoy 20% off their first order with code TWOPARENTS - Visit https://www.perelelhealth.com *Fora: Become a Fora Advisor today at https://www.foratravel.com/twoparents *Bobbie: If you want to feed with confidence too, head to https://www.hibobbie.com for the formula trusted by 1 million parents. -------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to the pod on YouTube/Spotify/Apple: https://www.youtube.com/@twoparentsandapod https://open.spotify.com/show/7BxuZnHmNzOX9MdnzyU4bD?si=5e715ebaf9014fac https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-parents-a-podcast/id1737442386 -------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Two Parents & A Podcast: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/twoparentsandapod TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@twoparentsandapod Follow Alex Bennett: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexbennett TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexbennett Follow Harrison Fugman: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/harrisonfugman TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@harrisonfugman -------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by: Just Media House – https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Holding the line, location sharing & is optimization culture making us miserable?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we are SO BACK (lol… we're feeling like this is our first full on episode back since having Rocky 🥹) And we're getting into a bunch of stuff. A big one: "holding the line" as parents, especially around bedtime (our ask: this this necessary?!), and the broader conversation of rule vs. suggestion (and the importance of being consistent… which is something we needed to talk to OURSELVES about hahaha). Off the top we get into optimization culture: Harrison did a 36-hour fast this week (per his longevity doctor!!), which spirals into a bigger convo about how we've all gone a LITTLE too far. Like, you have two glasses of wine and now it takes you 3 days to recover?! Steven Bartlett, we love you, but come on. Our take: live in the middle (a "moderate 365"… not a hard 75!). Then we get into the great location sharing debate (a la the Summer House reunion). Harrison’s take: you should you share your location ALL the time or NEVER (also like is it the new moral compass?!) Plus the rest of our Summer House reunion thoughts (we feel for Kyle now?!). Plus, why kids freeze up when you tell them to "say hi" (& what to do instead!), teaching street safety through modeling, which transition was actually harder (0 to 1 we THINK!), newborn gas & spit up (am I overthinking it?), Tate's communication leap (!!!!), and a bunch of other fun stuff (s/o Kate for suggesting a segment of Alex just pronouncing words wrong hahahah). LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:03:04 Why we have a new official "no sharing dreams” rule on the pod 00:06:24 The art of “give and take” in friendships 00:07:56 Harrison's 36-hour fast (+optimization culture rant) 00:18:40 Why kids freeze up when you tell them to “say hi” (& what to do instead!) 00:22:18 Teaching street safety through modeling 00:23:55 Bedtime: rule or suggestion?! (+ the importance of “holding the line”) 00:34:55 Which transition was harder: 0 to 1 or 1 to 2?! 00:37:47 Dealing with newborn gas & spit up (am I overthinking it?) 00:45:06 Date night is officially BACK on the table! 00:48:05 Tate has officially had a communication leap 00:52:13 Alex pronouncing things funny pt. 3928374: sherbet, ornery, rural & more! (s/o Kate from Edmond, OK!) 00:57:31 Location sharing: the new moral compass?! 01:02:26 Our Summer House reunion thoughts (skip if you want lol) 01:11:43 WHAT WE’RE WATCHING: Off Campus, Your Friends & Neighbors, Margo's Got Money Troubles 01:13:40 THINGS WE DMED EACHOTHER: Coke vs. Diet Coke vs. Coke Zero 01:18:19 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *BiOptimiziers: Go to https://www.bioptimizers.com/twoparents and use my exclusive code TWOPARENTS to get 15% off any order *Storyworth: Order RIGHT NOW and save up to $20 at https://www.STORYWORTH.com/twoparents *ZENNI: If your glasses are overdue for a refresh, now is the time.

Neighborhood BBQ, staying up past bedtime & our first LIVE Q&A
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, it's what we call a quick "chit chat" episode to start off your 4-day work week :-) Harrison joins us for all of about a minute before we sent him home with the kids… but NOT BEFORE Tate said "hello" to the pod listeners (guys, she was so proud of herself for using the mic). We start with our MDW block party recap. We had 200+ people show up, the dunk tank was the unexpected MVP, and Harrison flipped 200+ burgers/dogs (because the man does everything 200%). OH — and it wouldn't be a block party in Austin if a Waymo didn't get confused and stuck on our street for like 15 minutes (hahahha). We also get into our actual TIPS on how to throw your own block party because it's so much easier than you think (even though it was a big “get out of your comfort zone” moment for us). Then we get into a little pop culture: the ESPN announcer who refused to say Taylor Swift's name during the Cavs game (?? still confused why), Jessica Simpson didn't even NEED to make a comeback (you guys… her net worth is $200M vs. Hilary Duff's $20M, which completely flipped our opinion from last ep), and we covered her response to the Nick Lachey flight situation (her mom bought the first class tickets… mystery solved!). Then we continue our new ongoing debate over crown vs. crayon (10% of you actually say crown!!), which spirals us into a whole conversation about regional dialects (the NYT Dialect Quiz, the Cleveland "tree lawn", and Alex saying "sea-ment" instead of "cement"). Oh and apparently Jules made a VIRAL BuzzFeed quiz back in the day that had millions of hits (which Halo Top flavor are you?! Guys please take this and lmk in the comments - https://www.buzzfeed.com/minichjg/can-we-guess-your-go-to-halo-top-flavor-with-six-q-37u2u). Plus, because Harrison left with the kids and we had time on our hands, we went TIKTOK LIVE with you guys to do a Q&A for the first time!!! We got into so many random questions in real time: moving, potty training, the hardest part of parenthood, the Pumpables pump that has changed my life, and so much more. Then we end with two important (read facetiously) questions: should you let your kid stay up past bedtime if they're reading? (The "run or read" bedtime hack that's getting a lot of buzz online.) AND… is it socially acceptable to bring Jules's new ORANGE iPhone 17 Pro Max to a black tie wedding?! (We think yes, because Morgan Stewart said so.) OK hope you guys had fun — WE DID! LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:01:29 Memorial Day block party recap 00:11:41 What’s going on at home 00:16:05 ESPN announcer refused to say Taylor Swift's name?! 00:19:16 Jessica Simpson is worth HOW much?! ($200M vs. Hilary Duff's $20M!!!) 00:21:30 Crown vs. crayon: the official verdict (+ a tip if your toddler is coloring on everything!) 00:25:41 The NYT U.S. Dialect Quiz (have you taken it?!) 00:27:10 Jules made a viral BuzzFeed quiz?! 00:28:33 LIVE FROM THE POD: TikTok Live with you guys!!!

Night nurses, potty training prep & what is the etiquette for befriending a friend's friend?
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we have an unintentional Q&A episode because Alex put up a story box late last night, and we ended up answering your Qs for like… 45 minutes 🤭 So tons of practical stuff in here, including: WHY we decided to hire a night nurse and what it actually looks like for us (you guys had so many questions about this!), our potty training prep for Tate (she's 19 months and showing all the signs… are we ready?!), and then not so practical stuff like our thoughts on the Blake Lively / Justin Baldoni case (hahahha). OK TLDR on YOUR other questions: Tate is OBSESSED with her new baby doll (the imaginative play era is real and so cute), how we organize the kids' clothes for potential future babies (sticker printer + labeled bins, very not Alex), wedding & honeymoon plans (we're getting back into it!! safari for the honeymoon??), and how did I know Harrison was the one (spoiler: it was the way he answered "how was your day?" lol). Plus, do we want more boys or girls for the next two kids, formula feeding guilt when your milk hasn't come in yet, the "I want to try for #2 but I'm SO nervous to be overwhelmed" question, and a viral trend ("me on a Tuesday morning because I didn't marry a loser"… we have thoughts). Then we get into pop culture: Harrison's full Summer House finale + In The City review (skip the first 9 minutes if you don't watch lol), Craig Conover wrote a CHILDREN'S BOOK?!, Alex is officially loving Off Campus (Jules is shocked), and our Survivor finale predictions. Plus, TWEET OF THE WEEK on Jeff Bezos's tax proposal (the bottom 50% should pay 0% in taxes — and Alex is making us all vote on it), THINGS WE DMED: the etiquette around befriending a friend's friend (the 3-hangout rule + are you a bridge friend or a moat friend?!), a Memorial Day block party update (we're at 80 people and Alex rented a DUNK TANK?!), and THIS WEEK WE LEARNED how fingerprints actually form in the womb (mind blown). LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:04:39 Skip if you don't watch Summer House & In The City lol 00:13:00 Craig Conover wrote a children's book?! 00:15:23 Tate is OBSESSED with her new baby doll (& the power of imaginative play) 🥹 00:20:56 Listener Q: How do you / how to organize the kids clothes for potential future babies? 00:22:23 Listener Q: Wedding / honeymoon plans!? 00:27:35 Listener Q: Off campus thoughts? 00:30:25 Quick pause for Survivor finale predictions 00:32:48 Listener Q: How did I know Harrison was the one? 00:38:02 Listener Q: Do you know any updates on the Blake Lively Justin Belden case. What are your thoughts? 00:38:53 Listener Q: Would love to hear more about the Night Nurse and why you chose that. Besides the obvious 💗 00:43:59 Listener Q: Do you want more boys or girls for the next two kids? 00:48:46 Listener Q: Mom guilt around feeding formula? I have IGT so four week postpartum, my supply still hasn't come in 00:52:38 Listener Q: I love all the day to day life you share with number two. I want to try for number two, but I’m so nervous to be overwhelmed. Thoughts? 00:54:11 Listener Q: Potty training prep? 00:55:46 Listener Q: Is this mean?

Doorbell friends, the eldest daughter effect & outsourcing your night nurse?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're talking about the lost art of the "doorbell friend" (we just learned we have these and it makes us feel like we're in a sitcom LOL). Which spirals into a whole convo about how in-person social interaction has plummeted and what can be done to bring back the 90s childhood mindset. Then we get into Memorial Day block party planning (watermelon seed spitting contest, three-legged race, & getting Kennedy Urich's boyfriend Bobby to do a concert?!), and the fact that we have OFFICIALLY broken ground on the pool (after a whole pipe-moving saga that was NOT in the budget lol). In other neighborhood news, Alex is officially starting a book club!!! We get into the best books Alex has read lately (Mean Moms, Strangers, and the book book club is starting with: Yesteryear). Plus, fan-casting the Stranger TV adaptation (Nicole Kidman + Ryan Phillippe?!). Then we get into Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey ending up on the SAME flight to Hawaii (what are the chances?!), date night midweek vs. Saturday night (spoiler alert: Thursday wins), and the great event eating debate (should you eat before attending an event with dinner?!) Then it's Rocky's 1 month update (he's a GRAZER, his wake windows are lengthening, and Alex got cleared to work out!), and BICKER OF THE WEEK on whether you should be an out-and-backer or a looper on your neighborhood walks (Alex has her reasons!!!). Plus, TWEET OF THE WEEK on the fact that 9 out of 10 women physicians are eldest daughters (Dr. Tate?!), and TWO THINGS WE DMED EACH OTHER: that viral video of the granddaughter teaching her 102 + 89 year old grandparents how to use DoorDash (heartwarming!!!) and the guy outsourcing his night nurse to the Philippines (seems completely unnecessary??). And finally, our favorite baby products from the first month (RIP the wipe warmer for Rocky, the SNOO and Doona stay undefeated)! LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:00:48 The importance of a “doorbell friend” 00:06:58 Memorial Day block party planning is officially underway 00:12:48 We've officially broken ground on the pool!!! 00:16:26 Hot water with lemon debate cont.

Teaching toddlers to share, Mother’s/Father’s day gifts & is the dad bod REAL?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we are deep in the weeds of toddler social skills, specifically: how to actually teach a toddler to share and the power of modeling behavior for toddlers because… they are watching (and copying) EVERYTHING. Then we recap Mother's Day (the four of us at the coffee shop, my protein pancakes at The Well, and then our chaotic visit to a new store in Austin (s/o to Tiffany the most patient employee in the store, we love you). Plus, Harrison's Father's Day request (NO gifts (how many times has he said this on the pod until Alex listens lol)) and a little 2 under 2 update because Tate is more and more OBSESSED with Rocky everyday and we genuinely did not expect this 🥹 Plus, is the "dad bod" actually science?! (Apparently prolactin levels go UP in dads but Harrison is calling BS) and Harrison going VIRAL on Twitter for being a "basic Austin man" (baseball hat, scruff, plaid button-down) hahhaha And the fun stuff: our weekly (?)

The 411 on Toddler Sleep: regressions, sleep training & the ideal bedtime routine (w/ Dr. Ari Brown)
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're back with ONE parent & our returning guest Dr. Ari Brown (Pediatrician + Author of the iconic 411 series) for the SLEEP episode every parents needs! We start with why sleep is SO important (for both kids AND parents), how to create a healthy sleep routine from DAY ONE, and the "sleep crutches" you need to AVOID if possible (s/o to any parent who has been the human Uber to the land of nod hahaha). Then we get into what to ACTUALLY do when your baby/toddler wakes up in the middle of the night and why Dr. Ari likes to refer to “sleep regressions" as PROGRESSIONS (mind blown!!). Plus (random tangent), Dr. Ari's take on melatonin & traveling time zones (the ONE time she'll recommend it). Then, the ideal nap schedule from baby through toddler, and the #1 biggest mistake parents make around sleep (which we 100% have been guilty of). Then we get into some of the tactical stuff: should you EVER give your toddler a bottle before bed? Crib vs. co-sleeping vs. bed sharing (without the shame!), and when to actually transition from crib to bed (spoiler: longer than you think!!). We also break down what an ideal toddler bedtime routine looks like, how screens are impacting your kid's sleep, and how diet & physical activity actually move the needle. Plus, a fun rapid-fire game: COMMON SLEEP ISSUE vs. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. Finally, it’s not a sleep episode without Dr. Ari's take on sleep training & cry it out (and the protest vs. crying it out distinction that totally clicked for us), and she shares her famous S.L.E.E.P. plan 💤 LOVE YOU GUYS!
