You know, even with you guys, you have like three bottles in your nursery or three pacifiers
Starting point is 00:02:14 because you don't know what she's going to take when she comes, you know? So I think it's just understanding what works for your baby and what works for you as a family, but also having a strong foundation. Hello, hello, hello. Happy Friday and welcome back to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her Podcast. Michael Bostick's hairline is looking hot today. What's going on with your hair? I mean, is there a day that it doesn't? No, today it's looking really good. So I'm just looking extra good?

Just let me have this guys all right he has his hair uh hi guys what's up i'm lauren everett's from the skinny confidential blog brand and podcast and across from me is my hot sexy full head of hair husband what's going on with you i think you're you're into me today i had a lot of coffee well i'm into you because i haven't been able to touch you for six weeks. Yeah, people don't really talk about after you give... You can't do anything.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Nobody told me along... There's no book written that says after you have a baby, you can't have intercourse for six weeks. I didn't... You can get other things, but like... The baby's great, but if I would have known that was part of the deal, I don't know. Taylor doesn't want a baby now. Taylor's like, no thanks. So today on the podcast, we? I don't know. Taylor doesn't want a baby now. Taylor's like, no,
Starting point is 00:03:32 thanks. So today on the podcast, we have Jada Naoni. She is a sleep expert, baby expert, and celebrity nursery designer. I met Jada actually through Instagram. She has done so many celebrities nurseries, and she works with them to just curate beautiful spaces. And together, we did Zaza's nursery. I just put up a post on the nursery reveal. I wanted a very flamboyant space for the baby, but also something that was super calm. And I feel like we achieved that. Don't you think, Michael? It's very calm in her room. Yeah, it's nice. It's peaceful. It's one of my favorite places in the house now. I caught you in the chair. I don't know what you were doing. You were trying to nurse her or something. Don't worry about what we're doing in there. Yeah. What was going on? Honestly, baby or not, one pro tip here. I think everybody should get one of those nursing chairs.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah. They're amazing. Why would you not just put a nursing chair in your living room? That's way better than a lazy boy. That is true. The nursing chair we have is so comfortable. I might put that in my office as a desk chair, Yeah, a baby's room just has really good energy on the blog post. I talk about everything from the nightlight she has to the diffuser to the white noise machine. She has crystals in there. I even asked Michael's mom for some memorabilia of when he was a baby. So we have Michael's rattle in there. We really personalized the room like we even did things like my nephew Dax, he did this pink fingerprint painting. And so I took it and had it framed and then on it put a little love note from Michael for her room. We even we have a little cartoon, a Playboy cartoon that's so funny
Starting point is 00:04:57 on her wall. And then we ended up blowing up and this is all on the blog, like I said, blowing up a huge portrait of my birth announcement at the Beverly Hills Hotel which was totally inspired by Faye Dunaway who's a total icon and Framebridge framed this photo for us and it's like a thick gold vintagey frame so the whole reveal of the nursery is up on the skinny confidential like I said it's definitely a visual thing so if you pull that up while you're listening to the podcast, that might help. But this podcast is full of all these baby tips, nursery tips, everything you need to know if you're pregnant, expecting, going to possibly get pregnant is in this episode. We
Starting point is 00:05:36 really picked Jada's brain. So with that, let's welcome Jada to the podcast. Like I said, she's a sleep expert, baby expert, and a celebrity nursery designer. This is the Skinny Confidential, him and her. We have got my nursery designer, Jada, in studio. She's an expert sleep trainer. And we're going to go all over with this conversation. I want to talk about mom shaming, which is real in 2020, pregnancy shaming. We're going to talk about nursery design and then sleep training. But first, I want you to introduce yourself, your background, how you got into what you do, because it is such a niche.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Thank you. My name is Jada, Jada Niani. And I've actually been doing nurseries for about 15 years. I was originally a fashion stylist. And I was working with Courtney Cox. And you know, Courtney Cox and Gwyneth Paltrow, they were kind of like the first celebrity mom craze that happened. I mean, Madonna, but, you know, she's kind of untouchable. So when Gwyneth Paltrow and Courtney Cox became pregnant, it was like the biggest thing. And so I started like helping Courtney pick out different brands and what to do for a baby. And then it actually just snowballed. Like I just became the person that people in Hollywood will call when they were pregnant. You know, want nursery advice and what to buy for a baby. And then it actually just snowballed. I just became the person that people in Hollywood will call when they were pregnant or want nursery advice
Starting point is 00:06:48 and what to buy for their baby. So what's the thing that you see with all the celebrities with nurseries? Are they really specific about what crib they have? Are they really specific about how the room looks? What's the similarity? The similarity is when celebrities come to me, they know nothing. Like, what's the pamper? how many times are they change a baby it's always funny to me when you meet a mom and she is just clueless so i'll say that's the first thing that's always i'm kind of like a celebrity then i because i'm pretty fucking exactly exactly you guys definitely are but i would
Starting point is 00:07:17 say you know some of them want very extravagant nurseries to keep up with their the celebrity lifestyle and then some of them are just very, very, very just down to earth and just want to keep it simple and clean. So I would say what's similar is they're clueless. And the second is that most of them want to go extravagant. And who's your favorite celebrity nursery that you've done? And what was her aesthetic? Wow.
Starting point is 00:07:37 It's so funny. It's going to probably sound so cliche. But actually, doing your nursery has been actually my favorite because I remember when I first reached out to you and you said, sure, work together and then I told my friend I'm like but she's so pink like that's not my style but then working with you it's like but she's so extravagant she's so gorgeous so I would say yours is because it took me out of my comfort zone and I was able to kind of rule you in out of your comfort zone as well we are actually going just like for anyone like that's wondering we're not going as pink as you would think exactly you've moved me out of your comfort zone as well we are actually going just like for anyone like that's wondering
Starting point is 00:08:05 we're not going as pink as you would think exactly you've moved me out of my comfort zone to more neutrals we're trying to do a lot of black right we're doing a lot of not beige i want to say like nude yeah and we're the nursery i would say is it's there is pink in it but it's not like it's not like skinny confidential it's not like that whoa but you have to remember that when we first started speaking the first picture she sent me was a tall pink flamingo with feathers and i was like oh my goodness this is so not my style but we've been able to come back down so i would say your nursery's definitely been my favorite just because it's so glamorous the crib is something that i've never you know never worked with before and then i would say the second will be s. Her nursery was one of my favorites as well because it was all white. Tell us about
Starting point is 00:08:47 her nursery. Her nursery for her some future was all white, very plush, very Upper East Side, New York, gorgeous round crib. And we just really, really wanted to be very glamorous because, you know, she's glamorous. So it was mirrored dressers, mirrored change of table, very plush carpeting, and everything was all white. And I loved it. What goes into designing a nursery? Like what, how do you, how do you, how would you tell someone that's maybe listening in like Florida, like where to even start if they're not used to this mom world? I would say the first thing I always do is come up with a theme. You know, I think finding a theme, and I don't mean like clowns or flamingos. I just mean, where are you in your life? A lot of times people say, well, I don't want to do a nursery because
Starting point is 00:09:27 this isn't our forever home. And I always say, that's not how you should think. Whether you live in an apartment, a basement, a one room apartment, you should always do a nursery. And I say, the theme is what you love. You really want it neutral tones mixed with your world, which is the famous and the fabulous wallpaper. So we started from there with yours. So I think it's about finding a theme and what you want to carry on. It's just going to be about news or pastels or creams or what's really trending. So as you've gotten into nursery design, you started to really take an interest in sleep training.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Yes. And I've talked to a lot of my friends that have kids. I had no idea this was such a big thing. Yes, it is. Are we was such a big thing. Yes. But it is. It is. Are we ever going to sleep again? No.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Lauren thinks that you guys are going to have this miracle baby that's going to sleep and going to be perfect. For nine and a half hours? I mean, you will sleep again. The most important thing is just teaching her smart sleeping patterns from the beginning. And how do you do that? Walk us through from, I get the baby. You don't just pick it up and like put it down? I go to the hospital, I pick the baby up. I bring the baby home. She's all wrapped up in her swaddle. And then?
Starting point is 00:10:35 Well, first, when you first bring the baby home, there's no such thing as sleep training because a baby is going to be just on her own schedule. And newborns sleep most of the day and are up most of the night, especially for in the first early weeks, they're still trying to get used to this whole being outside in the world thing. So for the first two weeks, there's really no sleeping for moms, because if you're nursing, then they're up maybe an hour to every two hours to nurse. If bottle fed babies are the same thing in the beginning, because their little stomachs can only hope it's so much. So newborns sleep an average of like 16 to 18 hours for the first few weeks. And that's during the day. If this bitch doesn't get six hours of sleep, I'm a devil.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Or you're about to be a devil because that's not going to happen. Newborn sleep patterns kind of sound like our producer Taylor sleep patterns. They're sleeping the day, be up all night. Exactly, right? And it's so funny because a lot of people say, well, I don't sleep at night anyway, so I can handle it. But it's a whole different type of exhaustion when a newborn keeps you up all night. Quick break so I can tell you about pregnancy brain. It is real. And you know what else is real? Baby brain. Michael has it. Michael has it right now. No, no, no. I'm clear as a whistle, Lauren. And that is because, as always, I am constantly
Starting point is 00:11:40 taking four sigmatic focus shots and fourigmatic coffee, ground coffee, mushroom mix to be exact. Yeah, the coffee, the mushroom mix, it's ground mushroom coffee with lion's mane in it is legit. You guys, this is amazing. If you're tired, let me tell you, it's filled with all these magical benefits, which we'll get into. I'm telling you, mushrooms are life changing. If you're not on the Four Sigmatic train, you've been living under the rock because this stuff is a complete game changer. I love how it helps us stay productive, think clearly, no jitters, no crash. It helps also with like, you can have two, three cups a day and you don't have to worry about, you know, getting those sweaty coffee palms like mushrooms.
Starting point is 00:12:16 You know, you just don't have to worry about all that stuff. And honestly, guys, mushrooms have so many benefits. It's one of the brain's best friends. It helps us support focus, productivity, creativity, all the things we need for a busy day. My favorite way to use this personally is I like to have a cup of coffee in the morning. And then instead of doing another cup of coffee, I'll do the ground mushroom coffee because I don't want to have two cups of coffee because like Michael said, it's too much jitters. So if you're trying to get off your two or three cups of coffees a day, this is a really good way to do it.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Plus it contains chaga, the king of the mushrooms, which helps support your immune system. Because So if you're trying to get off your two or three cups of coffees a day, this is a really good way to do it. Plus it contains chaga, the king of the mushrooms, which helps support your immune system. Because right now, listen, it's flu season. There's a lot of shit going around. All of us are worried. All of us don't want to catch something. And a lot of you are probably out there thinking, does this taste like mushrooms?
Starting point is 00:12:56 Do I want mushrooms in my coffee? It does not taste like mushrooms. It tastes just like regular coffee. It's a nice, smooth, rich flavor. Everything's 100% organic, fair trade, vegan, keto, sugar-free, and dairy-free. And of course, we have a special offer for all Skinny Confidential.

Like what are some tips and tricks that the audience can take if they have a newborn that's two weeks old? Like when can you start training them?
Starting point is 00:13:41 Well, sorry, Lauren, it doesn't start at two weeks. It's more like 16 weeks is when you should start sleep training. maybe i say about four months what's going on i don't know anything about babies michael you think i'm being funny i don't know anything you think you're gonna get a trained baby in two weeks you are out to lunch my friend it's gonna be trained in two days no not at all um and about four and a thing that you can do now is what i tell moms about three to four weeks is just make sure their awake hours are maybe good. Because some babies like to sleep so much during the day that they lose weight because they're not getting the calories during the day.
Starting point is 00:14:14 So I say about maybe a month or a month and a half, just try to keep stretch their awake times to make sure they get the calories in the nursing or the bottle. And I know that they're so amazing. It's a new smell, new baby. Just don't get them so used to being rocked to sleep because a lot of bad sleep habits are learned very early on. A lot of moms wear their baby in the carrier, which is great.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Skin to skin is amazing. But I would say to just limit to it. Don't go overboard with it because some babies get so used that you can only put them to sleep if you're in the sleep carrier or they can only go to sleep if you rock them to sleep. And sometimes you have a mom whose baby's nine
Starting point is 00:14:47 months old and won't go to sleep unless they're rocked. We plan on using the SNU. What are your thoughts on that? The SNU is amazing. The SNU is definitely really good because it's giving you the gentle rock motion. And a lot of moms say that their sleep patterns became better. I mean, will the baby still wake up for feeding? Absolutely. So it's not a magic cure for overnight. Your baby still will wake up, you know, every hour to two hours to feed in the beginning. So when can you start to really implement sleep training? Like I say, I say at four weeks, at four months. Yes. Okay. So how do you do that? Sleep training is picking what's in the bad thing about sleep training. They get a bad rap from mom and say, well, I don't want my baby to cry it out. And I just say, it's not about crying it out, but everything you do with your baby, they're going to cry. Potty training,
Starting point is 00:15:27 they're going to cry. Learning to solace, they're going to cry. Taking the bottle, they're going to cry. Like look at her face. There's a lot of crying involved. So I would say in about four months, you have to decide what works for you. There's so many different methods. Some of the methods is at four months, you put your baby in the room at night after it's been fed all day and you close the door and you leave. And what time is this? I think a four month old should definitely go to bed between 6pm and 7.
Starting point is 00:15:51 That's normally when they start giving you sleep clues. And the number one trick for sleep training is having a good day schedule. Sleep training is very, very limited amount of effort at night. Most of sleep training comes with making sure that your baby A, has great nap schedule. You schedule. And you're the queen of scheduling. So I think this is where you'll be really good with making sure the baby runs a tight schedule as far as when they're feeding, when their activity is, when their play time. Because really sleep training is just eat, play, poop, and sleep. Let me ask you this. Say you're a single mom, you don't have time for all this, and you just kind of throw it in the air and go with the flow.
Starting point is 00:16:25 What kind of baby, what's going to happen with that? Then you're going to have a baby that's not on a schedule. That's probably, you know, now granted, some kids do come out as a good sleeper. Like some kids just come out the womb as a good sleeper. Giving that energy to the baby. Right, giving energy. Right, right. But, you know, some kids do that.
Starting point is 00:16:40 But, you know, as a single mom, which there are a lot of single moms, you know, the thing is just trying to keep your baby on a schedule. Even if it's a schedule where at daycare or at home, a good nap schedule, making sure your baby gets in enough calories, because a lot of babies aren't getting as many feedings in the day because the mom says, well, she will only take two ounces. Well, then that means that she's up at night looking for those ounces and those calories that she didn't get. If there's someone at home that's listening, that's having a lot of problems with their baby sleeping and their baby's like four to eight months. Okay. What are some things that they can do? I would say the first thing is sit down and write out a schedule. And that schedule needs to start from the time the baby wakes up. Like give me an example of
Starting point is 00:17:16 a schedule. So let's just say your baby wakes up at seven. Seven o'clock, you want to wake them up. You want to let them wake up. Then you want to change them, give them their first. And if your baby's, let's just say six or seven months old, your baby should be getting about six ounces. First bottle, first thing in the morning. Then you have an activity for about 45 minutes. Then they're back down. Like their first stretch of awake time shouldn't be more than an hour and 45 minutes. So then you put them down, you wake them up in an hour and 45. You feed them again. You do an activity. This could be outside activity or on the floor activity. Then they go back down again for a nap. Then they have their second nap. And then after the second nap, you wake them up. You take them
Starting point is 00:17:54 for another activity. Then you stretch the wake time a little bit longer because you're getting closer to the evening time. So now you just want to do a cat nap. So their third nap should be a cat nap, which should only be 45 minutes. This makes you want to be a baby again. This sounds nice. Sleep, activity, sleep, activity. Don't forget the pooping. Don't forget the pooping. Eat and go to bed. Right. 6 to 6 PM. That's what I'm in. And then you do the cat nap and then you, it's bedtime pretty much. So you do dinner, make sure they get in there six or seven months. Again, they should be introduced to solids. You know, you always speak to your doctor to find out when you should do solids. They should do solids, a bottle, a bath, bubbles.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I say bottle, bath and bubbles, a book. And then it's bedtime. And then you start a routine with their bedtime. So every night you have the same routine. So your baby gets used to it. And if you follow that type of strict schedule and every time you do the feeding, the activity and the nap time, then by six or seven, your baby should be given sleep cues. And every time you do the feeding, the activity and the nap time, then by six or seven,
Starting point is 00:18:46 your baby should be given sleep cues. And then it's time for bed. And you have most babies resisted in the beginning. So when it comes to sleep training, you put the baby down about six or seven, you leave out and let the baby put themselves to sleep. If your baby's screaming or it's not really going down, you can go back in.
Starting point is 00:19:02 But the purpose of sleep training is teaching a baby how to go to sleep on its own and also how to sleep extended hours. So let's just say this baby's already been waking up for three times a night, which we will hope your babies won't do. But so the first time you go in, you put them down for bed. You don't have they're going to scream and cry. You wait for about 30 minutes. You go back in. You let them know that everything is OK. Mommy's here. We love you. And then you leave back out 30 minutes you go back in you let them know that everything is okay Mommy's here. We love you and you leave back out Then they go to sleep and then a lot of times I suggest when your first sleep training to give them a dream feed Because a lot of times I use the bottle for just that's a crutch
Starting point is 00:19:35 So about 10 or 11 Michael the surprise of your shift you'll go when you give the baby a dream feed That pretty much means you pretty much just give a baby a bottle while they're still sleeping. I have a shift? Yes, you have a shift. Just kidding. And then that's it. And then the 2 a.m. and the 4 a.m., that's when the struggle comes. You know, your baby will probably wake up screaming and you can choose what works for you. You and Lauren may feel like you want to do the cried out method, which means if you don't go back, when she'll leave the bedroom at 11, you don't go back in until six. So the baby wakes up, they just have to scream it. Or you may, I like the gentle method where you kind of go in and reassure them that everything is okay. You know, here's the pacifier. If you're
Starting point is 00:20:08 doing a pacifier, mommy's here, daddy's here, pat them on the back, get them calm, but not put them back to sleep. Get them calm, put them back into the crib. And then the 4am, if your baby wakes up again, you don't go in at all. I don't think that Michael Bostic is going to be able to do the cry it out method. Right. You can't even keep a straight face. I feel like that's the method that I had. Right. I had to cry it out. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:30 So speaking of sleep, let's talk about safe sleep practices. Yes. Let's get like really into it and get really micro on how your baby should be sleeping. Like mattresses, pillows, bassinets, everything. Give us how a baby should be sleeping. So correct. correct so like let me know if i'm wrong here so i don't leave it in an unsecure area face down and then go off about my day okay okay good thing we cleared that up right right there's a lot of wackos out there that think that that would be our instinct but of course that's not my instinct of course not you guys are ready you guys are ready the safest way for your baby to sleep is in a crib with just a mattress and a
Starting point is 00:21:10 very fitted crib sheet that's it no pillows no blankets no sleeping aids just the crib the baby and a swaddle if they're in under six months over six months they should be in a sleep sack and that's it that's the safest way to sleep okay and just like so we can kind of get into that i posted a picture of a bassinet that was a piece of art that a friend gave us and uh people thought we were gonna let the baby just sleep in the bassinet unsupervised right so yeah let me ask you this this is a good segue so it you know lauren and i are obviously going to be new parents, new to the parenting thing. I have spent about 0% of my time up until now thinking about ever like parenting anything, right? It just wasn't in my world. And I think similar to her, like, you know, unlike a lot of women, she hasn't put a lot of thought into parenting. Until now,
Starting point is 00:21:56 it's a real thing for us. You're dealing with a lot of parents. One thing that I've observed that's interesting, especially being somewhat public people, Lauren much more public than me, is there are a lot, you know, as we've been talking, there's probably a lot of people that are nodding their head yes and agreeing and like really liking what you're saying. There's probably some people that are nodding their head no. I've never seen a space where people have stronger opinions than it comes to parents. But I want to talk about when basically, you know, healthy opinions and when advice is maybe asked for, and then also like shaming, which there's some wacky people out there. And I don't care if some of these people
Starting point is 00:22:29 are listening. They're like, oh my God, this guy just called me a wacko. If you're sitting there wondering, am I a wacky person? You probably are. I want to talk about this a little bit. Hot little break to talk about Juve, specifically red light therapy. Have you guys tried it? I just did a blog post on it. It's live if you want to look more into it. But just to let you know, I got an epidural and afterwards I got the worst rash on my back. I think it was from the tape or the latex. We don't really know. But the thing that healed it, and let me tell you, I tried everything, was the juve. I stood in front of Michael's huge ass juve, butt naked, and healed this rash. And let's just be real here, guys. You've heard me chirping about the juuv for a long time.
Starting point is 00:23:05 We had the founders on here and talked all about the benefits of red light therapy. If you have not heard that episode, I definitely think you should go back and listen. If you don't believe us, believe them. This is single-handedly the most game-changing product that we've used the entire year. And you know, like Lauren, Lauren sometimes is somebody that takes a little while to listen to me and jump in. And obviously, listen, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You were pregnant, didn't want to fully dive into
Starting point is 00:23:27 the juve until you were done. But admit, now that you're using the juve every day, my big, huge juve, your butt naked in front of it, admit, it's a game changer. It is a game changer. Some of the benefits are enhanced sleep, reduced pain and inflammation, and increased libido. But I'm telling you, this rash was so bad. And after standing in front of the juve three times, it made it exponentially better. Listen, you want better sleep, better skin, better sex life, better appetite, better energy. Do you want all that stuff? Shit, we should throw Taylor in front of it. I mean, if you're one of these people that just heard all of those benefits, you're like, I don't want any of that, then I can't help you. But if you do want all those amazing benefits,
Starting point is 00:24:02 the juve is for you because honestly, it does all i use it every single fucking day so if you want to check it out go to juve.com skinny and use code skinny to receive a free gift with purchase i recommend checking out the one michael has which is the juve quad it's a full body device but also check out the one that i use which is a handheld device it's called the juveve Go. That's J-O-O-V-V.com slash skinny. Use code skinny to receive a free gift with your purchase guides telling you get on board, fix your circadian rhythm and enjoy all the benefits of red light therapy. All right, let's get back to the show. And I think that the first if I can give you the best parenting advice, it will be to find what works for you. Because once you know what works for you and your family,
Starting point is 00:24:43 then your blinders will go up from the time she's's born, well, starting now probably, until she's in college, you're always going to have someone that wants to give you their opinion, that wants to push their opinion on you, or is going to criticize everything. That's just parenting. I call them the Instagram parents. And especially for someone like Lauren, who is so public, she's probably going to get, oh, why did you use that bottle? Or that bottle isn't good. Or I tried this pacifier. Why is she in the car seat like this? You have the Instagram patrols. You have the mommy patrols, the breastfeeding Nazis. You just have all of those on Instagram. And I think the number one thing that you could do is just find what works for your family. Like she said,
Starting point is 00:25:16 you may not be the one that can do the cry it out. Then you do the gentle method, which I love. You go in, you visit, but there is some crying involved. So I think it's just really important to know what works for your family. As long as your doctor approves and your baby is safe, then you should just feel okay with doing that. But there's so much shaming in parenting. You know what's so strange to me is like with you, like we have a relationship. So sometimes I will ask you advice and that's like solicited advice. I'm actually asking for your expertise, but I don't get these people that want to give unsolicited advice to their parents. And I've said it on this show before, like I could care so little about any way way any way thinks any anybody thinks i parent this kid like if there is if if there was less than one
Starting point is 00:25:49 percent of care i could give you'll be at one percent that would be i get like zero i'm like i really like a lot of all the things i care about i care so little about how people think i'm going to parent this kid because it's just it's not their kid it's not the same you don't know what's going on in the household and at the same time like i would never have the audacity to tell somebody else how to parent the kids i wouldn even like, it just seems so strange and foreign to me to jump into someone's personal life. Yeah, I would never just give a mom unsolicited advice. I mean, like my whole platform is like I'm sharing my journey, but like take what you love and leave what you don't. And I never want to pressure anyone to do anything.
Starting point is 00:26:20 So it feels like if I saw somebody like sitting in a restaurant and I disagreed with what they ordered right exactly and i just walked i just walked the fuck over there exactly you shouldn't be ordering that like put those enchiladas with extra sour and then could you imagine if someone filmed me and i just walked up a random person in the restaurant and did something do you imagine like the hate i would get exactly why are you wearing that sweater what exactly that is an ugly sweater and it doesn't stop you know i was talking to a friend the other day that she posted that she was going to start transitioning her baby to a bottle. And she got so many comments and DMs that said, you're so wrong. You should breastfeed until the baby's one. How could you make a selfish decision? So it doesn't stop. It's just what your baby's going to sleep in. It just goes on and on and on. And sadly, we as women have to deal with that a lot. And that's why you just have to really
Starting point is 00:27:09 know. I can't stress enough what works for you because you just have to be prepared for all the and some people say, I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I'm only trying to help, but you shouldn't do this with your baby. Let me say this. You know, it'd be a great TV show if us three did. We would find the people that made these comments. Oh, yes. We find out where they live. We show up with a hidden camera. we knock on their door and just walk in and start telling them how they should live let me see your perfection exactly let me see your perfection i love that it's very strange it's just a strange thing to me i just never grew up in a way where like i would ever put interject my opinion my way of life onto somebody else like i respect
Starting point is 00:27:41 how anybody wants to live their life do their thing like as long as you're not putting them in danger you know but i think that's i don't know i don't know if it's just specific to motherhood because i feel like people just give comments for i mean you guys don't get comments on your marriage and that type of stuff as well sure i mean we get we get comments all the time about a lot of things but i've never seen it so strong when it comes to that's why i asked you i'm sure like in your life you're dealing with a lot of high profile people and i feel like they get so many comments. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:05 And it makes them scared. That makes them not want to share certain parts because they don't want to. I don't know if you guys remember one year, Kim Kardashian, I think she showed a picture of one of her babies in the car seat. And I think the car was actually stopped or something. And she got so many comments. People saying what you took a picture of the baby should be turned the other way. The baby should be this way.
Starting point is 00:28:24 And I mean, even Kate and, you know, enrolled the royal family when she brought her baby home. Completely different country, completely different car seat rules. People went so crazy. Like she doesn't have her baby the right way in the car seat. And everyone's like, uh, for England, she does.
Starting point is 00:28:38 You know, so people are just so quick to give feedback of what they think you should do with your baby and what works for them. People used to throw their kids in like a sack and a covered wagon and just like head across the planes. Like they were safer than we've ever been. I mean, when I was a kid, we rode in a car with like no seatbelts in the back seat. Yeah. Life was fine. It was fun. You put all the three
Starting point is 00:28:53 kids in the back and you slide around the back seat and see what happens. And you would pray you hit a bump and you would jump up and hit the top of the car. That's like the good life. This may sound ignorant, but what are some things that you notice that people are super opinionated on? For instance, you just said the pacifier. Why is the pacifier so fucking controversial? Because some moms feel like that, A, it will ruin your baby's teeth, or it will make your baby not want the breast. There are so many reasons why people want this. And I mean, and God forbid, if you go to Google, you'll find enough information to support everyone's thinking because that's what Google does.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I think the number one thing that a lot of moms deal with is the breastfeeding thing. You know, a lot of moms get shamed if they just don't want to do the breastfeeding. That's the biggest one that I've seen. I've heard from other feedback from other moms that breastfeeding shame is really hard. And then also the sleep training. You know, some moms have mentioned I'm sleep training. And the first thing everyone says, I could never let my baby cry it out. You know, it's like, okay, well, that's not what sleep training is letting your baby cry it out, you know. So I think that if more people took time to educate themselves on things, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:57 even on this method work for your baby, if you take more time to learn other efforts, you wouldn't be so quick to make comments that actually don't make sense. This sounds like dieting. Okay. There's 5 million ways to lose weight and 5 million different diets. Yes. And some work for some people and some don't work for some people. I think you have to be your own guru and find your own like mom diet, whatever that is for it to be effective. I don't think it's a one-size-fits-all. And I think that I hope that I can be a blogger or an influencer that takes a stance on this mom-shaming thing. I had no idea that this even existed until I got pregnant. I didn't even know it was a thing. Really, I had heard the word mom-shaming. Huge thing. Why aren't we supporting each other and
Starting point is 00:30:43 lifting each other up? i'm new to this whole mom world i'm i'm doing my best i'm giving it my all i'm doing my research am i gonna do everything fucking perfect no i'm not but i'm gonna learn and adjust along the way and like i just think like people being malicious and having these really mean comments is not doing anyone any favors in fact i think it's it's hurting everyone I'm going to get to the root of it again. How much time do these people have on their hands? Right, exactly. Like you're sitting around,
Starting point is 00:31:09 patrolling around what other people are doing. Because let me say this, one more thing. All these comments, outside of making them look bitter and jealous and stupid or whatever they want to look like, it doesn't impact Lauren and I at all. We just kind of look at it and say, okay, and we just keep doing our thing.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Like it's not going to change the way we behave or act or parent. So it just makes no point. I think it's great that you have to have a good foundation as well because even with working with some of the moms i'm working with now the sleep sleep training they're afraid to even post their sleep training because they don't want to get the negative feedback so i think that having again going back to knowing what works for you because every baby is so different you know even with you guys you have like three bottles in your nursery or three pacifiers because you don't know what she's going to take when she comes, you know? So I think it's just understanding what works for your baby and what works for you as a
Starting point is 00:31:50 family, but also having a strong foundation, you know, being strong enough to understand that, okay, if I post this picture, I could get A, a lot of comments and B, a lot of negative comments too. But I do think that we are at a time where we're starting to see more moms come together. You know, now they have a hashtag that fed is best because for a long time it was breast is best, breast is best, breast is best. But now a lot of places are now saying fed is best, you know, and according, breastfeeding is the best. We will say that, but that doesn't work for every mom. It's not healthy. It's not possible sometimes for every mom to do it. So I love the fact that now we see that fed
Starting point is 00:32:24 is best. I'm trying not to have any expectation when it comes to do it. So I love the fact that now we see that fed is best. I'm trying not to have any expectation when it comes to breastfeeding. I'm trying just to go into it and just see how I feel. It's like people are asking me what I'm going to do. It's like asking me, I've never, never done it. So I don't know. I have to experience it myself. I'm a very visual person. So can you sort of walk me through, this is probably selfish, walk me through of what I'm in for and how you begin to breastfeed if you do breastfeed? Like, is it an immediate connection? Like, how does it work once your baby's here? And I think first, I want to say that I think it's amazing that you're even having the conversation that it may work for me and it
Starting point is 00:32:59 may not work for me. I think that it's amazing that you're taking that pressure off yourself because so many moms I've seen literally in tears. But isn't that the most logical perspective? I mean, listen, I'm not a woman, but like Lauren said, she doesn't know if it's going to work or not work. So I feel like people like over committing yourself before you know if it's even possible. Well, I feel like because there's so many things that society tells you that you have to breastfeed, that you have to breastfeed. So a lot of moms just getting into their head that they have to do it. And like I said, yes, breast is best, but it doesn't work for everyone. So I think for you, normally what happens once you deliver your baby, a lot of times most hospitals will put the baby
Starting point is 00:33:31 on your chest right away. And some babies will have a perfect latch right away. And some babies will need a little bit more help. You know, a lot of things with breastfeeding, it may not be instant. It may take, you know, a couple tries to get it started, but knowing that you guys have a great doula, a great hospital staff will help you. So a lot of times breastfeeding may not come immediately, but you'll get it going. And it's also something that people don't talk about how painful it is. It's like one woman described it to me before I became a mom. She's like, it's a little snapping turtle that just snaps onto your breast and refuses to let go. And that's really the truth that's really what it
Starting point is 00:34:05 feels like you gotta you gotta have connor pull that clip when lauren's face when she just said it's been a snapping turtle the reaction was hilarious snapping turtle it's like a little snapping turtle that just snaps onto your breast it won't like it's kind of like me just not as much pressure i don't like when michael i have this weird tick i don't like when michael touches my boob when i'm on my back so like i'm there's like a sensitive i don't know if it's something that happened to me i don't know if it has to do with my boob job i just don't like when he touches my boobs when i'm on my back like i have to be like on my side okay when you breastfeed you have to just make sure you're sitting up on your glider
Starting point is 00:34:36 okay but a snapping turtle like oh you have to think it's like the little mouth it's like a little suction cup do they have they don't have teeth they don't have teeth it's like the little mouth. It's like a little suction cup. Do they have teeth? They don't have teeth. They're just a little suction cup that's very hungry. And that's trying to just suck all the milk out. And here's another question for you. That's really candid. What do your tits look like after you're done breastfeeding? If you do breastfeed,
Starting point is 00:34:56 are they looking different? Is your nipple looking bigger? Like what's the deal? Well, I think you should understand that your body in itself changes with having a baby. You know, some women's never go back to their pre-baby body.
Starting point is 00:35:07 So I think that that's one thing that you have to kind of understand too. But you don't want it to go back. This is a new phase for you. A new sexy for Michael now. A mom, mom boobs, mom body. But it's still, your boobs sometimes will drop. You know, I can't really speak on someone that's had a boob drop because we don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I've never had that luxury. But I know that your boobs do drop some. But it's not, you know, it's't really speak on someone that's had a boob drop because we don't know. I don't know. I've never had that luxury. But I know that your boobs do drop some. But it's not, you know, it's not a big shift. Your nipples do become extremely hip because now they're nipples for milk. So they do go to the point where they're really big. Every woman's body is so different. Some of your breasts stay the same. Some of your nipples get extremely large.
Starting point is 00:35:40 It's all just so many great changes with motherhood, Lauren. What about vaginal versus C-section? What's the differences that you've seen after? The recovery. The recovery. Well, you know, with coming with vaginal births, most of the times, most women have to get a few stitches. You know, some doctors I know will even cut you before you get to that point. Just, you know, quick slice to make sure that
Starting point is 00:36:05 your vagina will expand. Oh, a quick slice between my vagina and my perlineum or whatever the hell it's called. Exactly. This is chill. And then you have to, you know, hemorrhoids is a real thing after having a vaginal one. And sometimes if you pushed a long time and then had to have a cesarean, hemorrhoids is real with that as well too. But of course, you know, a cesarean, a C-section is major surgery. So that recovery is much longer. You know, you really can't lift anything heavier than your baby for two weeks. You can't really, some moms can't go up and down the steps. So it's definitely a longer recovery. And sometimes I've heard your body just never feels the same after a C-section on it because
Starting point is 00:36:39 it's, you know, such a way of delivery. Again, I'm trying not to have any expectation towards either one. I'm just going to see what happens and kind of go with it. And, you know, such a way of delivery? Again, I'm trying not to have any expectation towards either one. I'm just going to see what happens and kind of go with it. And you know, some moms watch delivery videos on YouTube and some moms stay away from it. What's been your take on it? I watched one video of a vaginal delivery and made Michael watch it with me. And that was enough for me. Like, I just, I feel like I'm the type of person, again, that I have to go into it with my own experience. I like to just watch a bunch of videos. It's like, this is weird, but it's like an overload of content for me. So what's the role?
Starting point is 00:37:11 What's the rule with Michael? Can he have, does he have to stay above the knees? Can he look, you know, some moms don't want the husbands to see. I'm not very artistic. So I don't know, like, I'm sure I'm going to love to see the baby, but I don't know if I am going to be on the other side. I feel like I'm going to be on the other side. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I'm going to make the decision for you. I don't, I don't want Michael down there. You don't gonna love to see the baby but i don't know if i am gonna be on the other side i feel like i'm gonna be on the other right i'm gonna make the decision for you i don't i don't want michael down there you don't want to see it i just want him to be up by my shoulder i want to do whatever makes her comfortable that's what makes me comfortable and by the way our friend wesley and brano like brano watched the entire birth and said it was the most beautiful thing that's he's ever seen and he's super artistic right but for michael like i just like for our situation like you're gonna be well here's but for michael like i just like for our situation like you're gonna be well here's the thing i thought like i was listening to and don't fucking pee i was listening to a guy and a woman a friend actually friends of ours we know and he said well
Starting point is 00:37:53 like it's she was they were saying that it's selfish of lauren if she doesn't let me see that but i was like you know what i actually i want to be selfless in this situation to make her comfortable and so if that makes her uncomfortable and stress her out during the delivery, like I don't want that for her. Right. This is another situation, which is like everything that your mom experience should be. Everyone is different. I'm sure there's moms that are listening that their husbands caught the baby and it was
Starting point is 00:38:15 beautiful and it worked for them. For my relationship, get the fuck behind my shoulders. So why don't you meet in the middle though? Why don't you say, stay behind me? But once the baby is out and up, he can cut the umbilical cord. How about you the baby is out and up he can cut the umbilical cord how about you give him that he's gonna cut the part of our birth plan right so that's like meeting halfway i'm gonna have some steady hands i'm scared i'm gonna be cut the wrong thing you're not gonna cut it too soon i want it to pulsate i want it to finish pulsating listen i'm not doing anything until the doctor tells
Starting point is 00:38:39 me right they're gonna be like right exactly i'm gonna double triple check me sure sure and then i'm gonna do it but i have to say out of all the couples that i've worked with i feel like michael is the most calm like i feel like he's the one that's gonna keep everyone calm on schedule let's go the baby needs to be here by five let's go no i'm joking about that that is very observant of you i am you know we were talking to the dually yesterday and i'm a turbo person as you know i'm like pretty like right go go go but in situations like that i'm pretty calm right right like when shit hits the fan i'm i'm a good guy to be around i'm calm because lauren i mean and i don't know lauren is so you know i was reading this book
Starting point is 00:39:09 where the silent birth is becoming like a new trend when no one talks just like the baby comes in the mom's not screaming they just like that kind of centers the baby it used to be really connected to scientology but now more moms that aren't in scientology are really adapting the silent birth but i would want to know do you do you see yourself as a screamer, as a calm? What do you kind of... When those pains hit 100,000 hours. When I have pain, I'm pretty inward. I don't think...
Starting point is 00:39:35 What do you think? Listen, let me tell you something. My wife, if I'm like a... If I'm a tough tolerance of like a three, she's like an 11. She's like one of the toughest women. I really mean that. You guys could probably push out triplets then. You've never me that oh my god she's i mean like yeah your pain threshold is i went to thailand with her we're eating the spicy i was basically bawling crying
Starting point is 00:39:52 she was just sitting there like like what's it tom young gum also michael you have to remember um spicy food and giving birth are two sure but i'm saying she can do all of it whatever but what i will say about silent births i'm a pretty chatty person as you could tell i don't know if i could do the silent birth right right no you're gonna have to this is what i'm gonna need from him do we have a playlist is the question you hopefully i have a little speaker she can put whatever no no you need to have a playlist oh i do yeah i want bossa nova i think i want bossa nova like i want her to kind of cool to have a baby come out to us we're gonna hate where she can come out to iron maiden no she can come out to like Tall and Tan and Young and Lovely. We'll put a nice little soft thing on there.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I need, what I need from him is I need him to turn down his thermometer because sometimes he goes zero to 60 and I need like energy to drop down a little bit. I don't have what you call a slow build. I just kind of. You just go. It just goes. Yeah, one speed. It's go.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Okay. So I want to talk to you about this. I i told you earlier you're coming on the blog you're going to do a bunch of blog posts on um accessories and things for the nursery that you think everyone needs so i'll give you an example um the baby shusher shusher shusher the baby shusher is something that i instagram storied and everyone dm'd me and said it's like a lifesaver. What are those like lifesaver hacks that every mom should have in their nursery? Well, the first and foremost, I would say blackout shades, blackout curtains. Every mom should have that because again, going back to starting a healthy sleep habits from the beginning, you want the room to be completely dark and they have them at Target, Amazon, you know, the lowest you want to spin up is the highest you
Starting point is 00:41:23 can find blackout shades. That's the number one thing. A white sound, a white noise machine is definitely, definitely, especially with you two having dogs and having people coming out, you don't want the smallest noise to get. But then again, you know, I say to have the white noise machine, but then also make sure you live your life. Cause I know some people that they just make their houses be so quiet when the baby sleep, but then the baby gets used to that. So the smallest thing. So I say have the white noise machine, but also continue to live your life. Play your music.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Have your TV on. Don't get your baby used to having to sleep in silence and only the white noise machine. That's really good advice. Yeah. And then the next thing will be a very safe crib. I think safety is so important. So I would say a crib. Don't buy a crib off of Craigslist.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Don't re-gift a crib. Don't buy a crib off of Craigslist. Don't re-gift a crib. Buy yourself a new crib no matter what budget. The crib that our baby's sleeping in, you can let everyone know it's very safe. Very safe. It's absolutely safe. We've taken every... Some things, if you want it for the nursery, I've personally said we can't have that because it's not going to be safe.
Starting point is 00:42:19 You have one of the safest. I am also a safety certified. We're going to baby proof the house too, right? Exactly. Yes. So your baby, everything that your baby has will be safe. am also a safety certified. We're going to baby proof the house too, right? Exactly. Yes. So your baby, everything that your baby has will be safe. You're a safety certified. Installer.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Installer. So you come in, she's basically going to come into the nursery and make sure that things, if there's an earthquake, that things are right, how they should be on the wall. You also did a class with Michael and I for baby CPR. Did the baby CPR. That was really helpful, actually. Very helpful. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Because I had a brief understanding of CPR for adults, but I didn't realize, you know, even like the little thing with the two fingers. Yeah, exactly. So now you prepare. Do you remember how to do that? Yeah. Because my memory. I also remember how to flip the baby and you put it, you know, head down and flip it back.
Starting point is 00:42:58 I pay attention to these things. No, I pay attention to, but I have pregnancy brain right now. So I just want to make sure. We might need to go over it. You put the mouth over the mouth and the nose. Do you think every new mom should take baby CPR? I absolutely do. I think that there's no cause or rhyme or rhythm for SIDS.
Starting point is 00:43:13 You know, of course, they always say why things. And if you look online, so many moms have found their babies unconscious and was able to, you know, bring their baby back to life until the ambulance got there to help their baby breathing or the blood flow to the ambulance got there. So I definitely think that every mom and they have it can be free at a YMCA or a local Red Cross. So I definitely think that every mom should do CPR. And we're gonna link some baby CPR things in the show notes for you guys. We'll link is there I know there's like an American pediatric pediatrics, maybe. Yes. And also, normally, if you just go to your YMCA, they do tons of classes with that, We'll link, is there, I know there's like an American pediatrics maybe website.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Yes, and also too, normally if you just go to your YMCA, they do tons of classes with that. You know, you could just actually go online and Google local infant, you know, some churches even do it. I think now with SIDS kind of rising, more and more places are seeing the importance to offer those classes to moms. Yeah, and maybe when you come on the blog, you can give us some safe sleep tactics. Right. Exactly. Okay. So if you have to tell someone one piece of advice to leave our audience with for a nursery, what is it? Safety first. Okay. Safety first. And then I would just say blackout curtains because I'm going to need those for sleeping. And if someone wants to know where they can find all these like earthquake things and all these, these, like how to how to nail something to a wall, where can they find that? Again, I hate to sound cliche, but going on Google and doing it because there's so many you have
Starting point is 00:44:33 earthquake specialists just for like lighting, you have earthquake specialists just for like electricity in your home. So I definitely say just Google what you're actually looking for. And they do sell infant and baby emergency earthquake kits now where you can get like the baby food, this. So I think that it's just about, you know, taking your time to research because every home, you know, lives in different areas will require different things. You know, I have a mom now that lives in the Hollywood Hills and her home has to be prepared differently from someone that may live in Malibu because she's in a different area,
Starting point is 00:45:03 which different risk. And what about the plugs in the wall? You talked to me about this. Tell me about that really quick. Every mom has to have the electrical covers in the nursery because there's so many kids that actually stick metal into the outlets
Starting point is 00:45:16 under a year old, just from crawling and walking and have become electrocuted. So I always take a lot of precaution, not just the nursery, but covering all of the outlets in the whole home. And you're going to help me do this, right? Absolutely. What's a book, a podcast, a resource that you would recommend to our audience on mommyhood? Wow, that's a good question. What part of mommyhood is so vast?
Starting point is 00:45:36 You could do sleep training and then maybe something with nursery design. Or let's do it this way. For new moms, never been, baby's not born, and then maybe like to read in the first year. So maybe there's two. You know, my favorite book is The Baby Whisperer. Amazing, amazing book. And sadly, you know, the woman who wrote that, she passed away a few years ago,
Starting point is 00:45:52 but it's still the Bible of baby healthcare. So I definitely say The Baby Whisperer was definitely your first thing that you should read. And for podcasts. Not a podcast listener. We're going to convert you. Well, I mean, not that. I don't feel like there's one place that you go and get everything that you need.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Got it. Peace and peace here. So maybe that could be you, Lauren. Maybe you create a Jada Kids podcast. Jada Baby podcast. Jada Baby podcast. Yes. Jada Baby.

All organic, 100% cotton, baby clothing. And it's so great because, A, you don't have any chemicals up against your baby. It's such a soft, soft, soft. I mean, Loved Baby's been around for years. Their kids are like 12 and 13.
Starting point is 00:47:22 They've been raised on Loved Baby. I really like their stuff. We got a bunch of olive, nude, and black. So she's set. Michael got her a leather jacket, which I have to show you later. And a jean jacket to match his. I'm in a lot of trouble. We need to start about Michael's gift for his nursery designer because he's
