TOPIC: 

Today, we're talking to Certified New Parent Educator, Certified Newborn and Infant Sleep Coach, Certified Doula, and mother of four, Sheri Poe, who explains what a doula is, what happens in the fourth trimester (yes, there’s actually a fourth!) and what to expect in postpartum. Sheri illustrates the “magic hour,” Postpartum Mood Disorder, plus the types of baby classes and routines Sheri has created to support parents and the newest addition to their family. Plus, Natalie and Corinne are very excited about this week’s drink of the week… from Thailand!, and they have a pretty convincing theory about why ChatGPT is most likely a girl.
