#45 - "Fart Symphony" - MommyBeta Podcast

This week we discuss a lot of gross topics, mostly revolving around raising boys! We also discuss Alicia Silverstone feeding her child out of her own mouth and January Jones eating her own placenta. Plus, we talk about keeping the dinner conversation appropriate for all ages, not just the children of the house. And avoiding a "fart symphony" if you are outnumbered by boys!

#41 - "Siblings Who Bite"

This week we discuss raising more than one baby and all of the challenges that presents. In short: don't compare your children. And don't let them bite or hit. It's not really that simple though. We elaborate. 

We also discuss the HPV virus mandate for boys as well as girls, an anti-obesity campaign that includes some shocking images, and a mommy who needs our help.

#34 - "Sleepheads and Picky Eaters" - MommyBeta Podcast

This week we discuss Baby Mo's health scare, the perils of missing naps, and our ongoing quest to deal with picky eaters. We also discuss the pros and cons of helicopter parenting versus slow parenting, a dilemna that has no easy solution. 

As always, the sleep book we incessantly refer to is Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. And the slow movement parenting book that Natali has just added to her reading list is called Under Pressure: Rescuing Our Children from the Culture of Hyper-Parenting.

• The home shiatsu massage pillow by Homedics, which Natali swears by to survive back pain during pregnancy; 
• The iPad headrest mount that Natali's husband Clayton wants to install to entertain the little ones during long car trips;
