Krista Ehrenfried returns to share her second birth and postpartum story — a follow-up to Episode 11 filled with the hard-won wisdom that comes from walking through the newborn days again with more perspective and compassion.

Krista Shares:

• Wildly different labor: 40 hours the first time, just 5 hours the second
• Not loving the baby phase
• Experiencing the newborn bubble of bliss
• Her experience with co-sleeping and finding what truly works for her family
• Continued challenges of breastfeeding — hard again, but she made it 14 months!
• Why she still doesn’t love breastfeeding (and that’s okay)
• No postpartum depression this time
• Navigating life with another colicky baby and the return of sleep deprivation

• The sweetness, exhaustion, and deep love that defined this chapter
• And so much more!
