How does Lindsey describe her current family childcare and support system?
It is such an investment. It's a lot of money, not gonna lie. We also have a night nurse right now. We've had her since the night I came home with Lenny. She comes from seven to seven. Right now it's Monday through Friday. I'm super blessed that we can invest in this as a family. I know not everyone can. She's teaching me how to move with Lenny as she evolves and changes, especially related to sleep. I do have some anxieties around sleep and babies. I had to get really specific with her about this change, this transition to two children. You develop a really, really solid communication agreement with them where you are communicating a lot every single day. Expectations, what's the plan? Yeah. They are a part of your family system in a way.
And so you need to treat them like a family member and Хело ериван, ітс Линс. Великому анало епизод. This is part two. Of the Ketchup postpartum. I am back. I am now a mom of two. I just had my daughter Lennox. We call her Lenny. Um And life is full, y'all. It is full and beautiful and different and intense at times. Um And I wanted to just break down where I'm at, how we're doing. So in part one, which if you haven't listened, I recommend you go back and listen to, I talked about Um The shift from one to two, what that's actually been like and felt like for me, um, what surprised me about it. I talk about um how I'm doing physically, how I'm doing mentally and emotionally. I talk about how this change has affected Mav and how he's doing.
I also talk about just, you know, the difference. in having like a baby girl versus my baby boy. Um, there is a difference. So um go back and listen to that one if you haven't, but you don't have to listen to it to listen to this one. This episode I wanna talk about my relationship with my husband, how we're doing as a married couple, from my perspective. Um, as always, as you know me, you know, so much of that remains private. I think I wanna give kind of a high level and like my My work in it. I want to talk about child care and help. what that's looked like, what I feel like is working and not working, um What has actually helped me and what's surprisingly not helped. Um And I want to talk about identity.
In this episode, I find myself in an interesting place. As it relates to my identity and my work in the world and creativity, and so I'll update you there. So I do want to like shout out a brand that we are working with, but I have been using well before this partnership came to be just recently. And I was so excited they reached out because I was like, I use this. It's changed my life. This is the Youthie Breast Pump S2 Pro. She's gorgeous. Showing you on camera if you're watching on video on YouTube. I won't do a demo here. I'll spare you that. But I brought them here because. I was pumping in between recording. Um I got my girl at home and I gotta make sure that uh we're catching milk. In between, but this product in particular could be a good option for some people.
I think it is like the best of the best out there. And why? Okay, so I didn't know this with my first child. There are certain aspects of what a baby on the boob does that stimulate milk production and letdown and flow. And I was blown away. with the features of the Eufy S two Pro. I was like, wait, what? So one of them is heat flow. Okay. So when a baby is next to the boob, they're providing heat around the boob. Like this is a biological process and it is stimulating the milk flow. So the heat of the the baby and your body, it's incredible. So this pump actually has this beautiful warmth that goes all the way around, not just in one spot, but all the way around. And it works. It is incredible, incredible, incredible.
So like the flow just it stimulates it more freely. Um, it helps to dilate your milk ducts. It's it's a Game changer. Okay. Second, the rhythm. So babies have a very specific biological rhythm when they are suckling at the boob. And this mimics that. Other pumps I've used, it's just kind of like a pump. It's kinda like blah blah blah.
