138. Maternal Mental Health: What I Want Every Parent To Know

How Long 'Til Bedtime?

06/03/24 • 11 min

As a recap to the previous three episodes aimed at building awareness of maternal mental health, Allison is sharing what she thinks every expecting and new parent should know in the hopes of helping other new and expecting parents who may struggle or are struggling postpartum.

Given her own experience, the work she does with parents and the previous guests she’s interviewed, Allison believed she had a robust understanding of the challenges of maternal mental health. But then she interviewed Dr. Nicole Rankins (an OB/GYN), Dr. Stephanie Grice (a pediatrician) and Wendy Davis (President and CEO of Postpartum Support International). These three guests provided new insights. In today’s episode, Allison is sharing the CliffsNotes version of those three interviews.

82. The Postpartum Journey from the Perspective of Three Husbands with Mike Vasquez, Alex Grant and Todd Kennedy

How Long 'Til Bedtime?

05/08/23 • 16 min

Last May, in recognition of Maternal Mental Health Awareness month, we shared several very personal stories of postpartum anxiety and depression across four episodes of How Long ‘Til Bedtime. As we discussed then, it is believed that 1 in 5 new moms experience some level of perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. And when a new mom experiences postpartum anxiety or depression, her partner is 50% more likely to also experience anxiety or depression.

So this year, as a follow up, we wanted to share a slightly different perspective on this very important topic. We have three men chiming in for today’s episode. Mike Vasquez and Todd Kennedy are married to women who shared their postpartum struggles with us in those episodes last May. And Alex Grant is the husband of a member of Allison’s Sleep Tight community. Allison asked Mike, Todd and Alex some questions about their own personal adjustment to parenthood and their experience of having a partner struggle with postpartum anxiety or depression.

92. Understanding The Growth Chart with Dr. Stephanie Grice - Summer Pediatrician Series #2

How Long 'Til Bedtime?

07/17/23 • 26 min

This episode is the second in our three-part Summer Pediatrician Series with Dr. Stephanie Grice. In this episode, Allison and Dr. Grice are discussing the growth charts pediatricians use to track a child’s growth.

The way a child “scores” on the growth chart can often cause anxiety for parents. Dr. Grice addresses this concern and explains why your child's placement on the growth chart isn’t nearly as important as their overall growth trajectory. She also shares how the chart can help providers assess if a child is maintaining a healthy weight for their height and when it’s appropriate to stop night feedings with infants.

How Long 'Til Bedtime?

01/08/24 • 18 min

The crib to bed transition is a significant milestone in a young child’s life. In this episode, Allison is collaborating with Sophie Kuzjak, one of our sleep coaches, as Sophie prepares to move her daughter from her crib to her big girl bed. This isn’t the first time they’ve tried to make this transition so Sophie is handling it differently this time. This episode is dedicated to how Sophie has prepared her daughter, what steps they’ve taken to get ready, how they chose the optimal time to embark on this change (the second time around), and how all the members of her family are handling the emotions of the upcoming change.

And then, stay tuned for episode 118, as the conversation continues. Sophie will share an update on how well her plan worked and her insights from the completed transition. She’ll provide the lessons she learned along the way, how she tackled the unexpected issues that arose, and what she would suggest other parents in her situation do differently.
