In this week’s episode of the As a Woman podcast, I sit down with board-certified pediatrician and bestselling author Dr. Ari Brown to discuss what really happens after you bring your newborn home.
From feeding challenges and sleep deprivation to reflux, colic, and knowing when to call the pediatrician, we break down the realities of early parenthood in a way that helps new parents feel informed instead of overwhelmed. Whether your path to parenthood was straightforward or years in the making, this conversation is designed to replace anxiety with practical, evidence-based guidance.
We cover:
-What to expect during those first days and weeks at home with a newborn
-How feeding, weight loss, and growth are monitored in the early postpartum period
-The difference between normal newborn behavior and signs that warrant a call to your pediatrician
-Why sleep can feel unpredictable and how newborn sleep changes over the first few months
-Common concerns like reflux and colic and what parents should know before assuming something is wrong
-Safe sleep recommendations, swaddling guidelines, and infant sleep safety
-How to choose a pediatrician and build confidence in caring for your baby
Whether you’re expecting, newly postpartum, or simply want to feel more prepared for life with a newborn, this episode offers the reassurance and practical advice every parent deserves.
