What New Motherhood Is Really Like Ft. Tracy Lockwood Beckerman

Sami and Aleen are joined once again by everyone’s favorite registered dietician, Tracy Lockwood Beckerman. She talks about getting diagnosed with gestational diabetes, giving birth while wearing a mask, and how her food preferences have shifted since having a baby. They discuss the best place to get advice as a new mom (virtual support groups exist btw) and some of the biggest challenges you may face. They talk about “mom guilt” and all the unnecessary drama around breastmilk vs. formula, then Tracy also tells us how her nutrition views have changed since becoming a mom. They discuss why planning goes out the window at a certain point, along with the pressure to get back in shape after giving birth. Finally, they close on a positive note with some good news about what motherhood brings to your life.
