Big news — our podcast has a new name! 🎉 Welcome to Functional Medicine for Moms ✨ first-time parents trying to navigate holistic, healthy living.

In this episode, we’re tackling two big topics for new moms:

🍷 Alcohol & breastfeeding — Should you pump and dump or just feed the baby? We share research, context, and surprising comparisons (ripe bananas = ~0.4% alcohol vs. breastmilk after drinking = ~0.08% 👀). It’s all about making an informed choice that you feel comfortable with.

🥄 Baby’s first solids — Our little one is officially sitting up and starting solids! We discuss readiness signs, BLW vs. purées, why we’re focusing on iron-rich and gut-friendly foods (bone marrow, meat stock, egg yolk, veggies), allergen introduction, and why we’re skipping sweets first.

As always, we’re blending research + real life to make parenting practical, healthy, and encouraging for moms navigating this season. Please share this episode with a mom friend who might love it too 💛
