What are the challenges of breastfeeding?

Alex 1:28
So we have a baby together and then I get a pet name.
Harrison 1:31
Baby first, then pet name.
Alex 1:33
He used to call me whenever Tate was in my stomach and we were going to name her. Tate was a top contender and we would call her Taters. He would call me Taters. And I liked that. He would say Taters and I'd be like, me? Because we were one, you know?
Harrison 1:47
Yeah.
Alex 1:48
But now.
Harrison 1:48
Yeah, I call her Bubbers now.
Alex 1:51
Bubbers. Sometimes you call me Bubbers. Not really.

How does breastfeeding compare to formula feeding?

Harrison 1:55
Maybe.
Alex 1:56
Yeah. Yeah. Jules confirmation from Jules. Yeah. Okay. Um, all right. So we went and worked out together today. Big berries family over here. And what was your, what'd you say when we left? Tell the class.
Harrison 2:09
I think that it's a really nice routine that we've got into. Regardless of the craziness we're dealing with during the day, that we still make time to go and do this activity together. And it's like if we do nothing else together that day, at least we got a workout in and at least we walked away from it feeling good. And we may not be getting as many date nights as we would like, but we're finding other activities to get in the mix. Yeah. I was just trying to give us some love and some grace, and it feels like it just kind of got shot down.
Alex 2:41
No, what you said was, this is like date night. You and I get to work out together. I was like, we don't talk in workout class.
Harrison 2:49
No, no, no, no. I said, we may not get as many date nights as we used to, but we're finding other little activities.
Alex 2:56
We've gone on one date night, and it was in Whistler.
Harrison 3:00
Yeah.

What funny parenting mistakes have Alex and Harrison made?

Harrison 0:13
I like truly, truly thought it was gone.
Alex 0:16
My Valentine's Day present went over like a lead balloon.
Harrison 0:20
I think it's a perfect foray into my big announcement.
Alex 0:23
Can't get divorced if we're not married.
Harrison 0:24
I officially retire and get f***ed.

What went wrong with Valentine's Day gifts?

Alex 0:27
Welcome to Two Parents in a Podcast. Hey Harrison.
Harrison 0:31
Hi Alex.
Alex 0:33
No, it's criminal. I was like trying to bait you right there. You, Harrison calls me Alex and I feel like I'm in trouble.
Harrison 0:40
You should have just said Harrison.
Alex 0:42
I was messing with you to see how you felt and you just like felt so normal about it.

How can parents balance fitness and date nights?

Alex 0:11
So I went outside and the car wasn't there.
Harrison 0:46
I've been called so many different things throughout my life. That, like, I typically don't even know what people are calling me. So I caught it there. But with so many abbreviations on my last name and on my first name.
Alex 0:59
But I'm your baby mama, girlfriend. Like, I don't know, like, I'm your... Alex. No, you cannot call me Alex. It sounds like I'm in trouble.
Harrison 1:09
You are in trouble.
Alex 1:11
No, we were out the other day and he was like, hey, Alex, can you pass that? Everyone was like, whoa, why are you calling her Alex? Alex. You don't like pet names. I love pet names. I love it. Nope, not happening from you.
Harrison 1:24
That's the next stage in our relationship.

What are some insights on mental health related to breastfeeding?

Alex 3:00
And then like this weekend we have... Great restaurant, Wild Blue.
Harrison 3:03
I'd never heard of it. Really good.
Alex 3:05
It was so... It was like a really fun date night too. And then this weekend we're going to like two events, but not just us. Maybe we'll go to dinner before one of them or something.
Harrison 3:14
Yeah, I'd love to do that Saturday.
Alex 3:15
That'd be nice. Yeah. Saturday starts at five, so I don't really know that we're going to get that in.
Harrison 3:20
I thought Friday did too.
Alex 3:21
It does. So there goes the date night.
Harrison 3:23
Look at that.
Alex 3:25
We'll hang out.
Harrison 3:25
Check the box.
Alex 3:26
I... So this week, little tater totter, she's just not sleeping very well. So we're going through a bit of a sleep regression or she's teething. I don't know. But anyways, we haven't slept. And I think a result of not sleeping was Harrison was going to sauna with his friend, Tim. The other day, he's like walking out the doors like six, six o'clock in the evening. He turns around. He's like, the car got stolen. The car's gone. And I was like, what? So I went outside and the car wasn't there. And I was just like, this is it. Like that the car is stolen.
Harrison 4:00
And I like truly, truly thought it was, it was gone.
