Call Your Mom FriendsAuthor: Amey Fields, Charity Spears, Lauren Murdock
Call Your Mom Friends The podcast that feels like a group chat and a therapy session had a baby. Motherhood is beautiful. But also? It's messy, exhausting, lonely, ragey, hilarious, sacred, and completely unhinged sometimes. Were three moms, three professionals a bodyworker and two labor & delivery nurses who also happen to be IBCLCs and were done pretending we have it all together. Call Your Mom Friends is the space we needed: Where you can be tired and grateful. Healed and healing. Totally in love with your kids and also dreaming of running away for 48 hours of silence and hot coffee. We talk about the stuff no one warned you about: Postpartum anxiety, generational trauma, mom rage, birth stories, identity loss, the sacred mess of starting over and why none of it makes you broken. If youve ever cried in the shower, laughed during a tantrum, or wondered Is it just me? its not. Its us. Its all of us. Call your mom friends or let us be them.

Call Waiting | Think the Nurse Will Teach You Breastfeeding? Here’s the Truth
Episode 3
Friday, 22 August, 2025
In this Call Waiting episode of Call Your Mom Friends, we answer a call from Kelsey, a mom who believes hospital nurses need more training to better support new moms with breastfeeding. Sounds reasonable, right? But here’s the twist — we play devil’s advocate and explore why prenatal breastfeeding education before delivery might actually be more effective (and realistic) than waiting until you’re in the hospital. We unpack: Why nurses often have limited time with new moms in busy hospital settings. The reality of short postpartum stays and how fatigue + hormones affect learning. Why prenatal childbirth and breastfeeding classes can set you up for long-term success. The role of IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) in hospitals — and why access can vary widely. Flange sizing, pumping myths, and why early education matters for milk supply and mental health. The balance between hospital support and personal preparation so you can feel empowered, not overwhelmed. Whether you’re expecting, preparing for birth, or reflecting on your postpartum experience, this episode will help you think differently about where real breastfeeding education should start. ✨ Bonus: We share why we offer free prenatal breastfeeding classes, plus resources like doulas, evidence-based books, and online support to bridge the gaps hospitals can’t always fill. 👉 This episode is for every mama who’s wondered: Will I get enough breastfeeding support in the hospital? or Should I prepare ahead of time? Press play to hear the truth from a labor nurse, a lactation consultant, and your mom friends who’ve been there. 🎧 Got a story? Leave us a voicemail. We might just play it on the show.
