Welcome to another episode of 'The Snack' by Emma Gray and Kaitlyn Bywater. A bite sized morsel of chin-wag and parenting chit-chat.
In this episode we chat about feeling 'done' having babies, do you ever feel done? Whilst this may seem like a lighthearted convo between friends, this topic could feel very complex and heavy for some women. We chat about external influences and opinions, if we feel 'done' and what our experience has been.
As always, we'd love to hear yours.

Everything you never knew you needed to know about breast pumps.
Join your hosts, Emma Gray and Kaitlyn Bywater as we chat with the inspiring Alexandra Sinickas from Milkdrop Pumps.
Alex Sinickas is an engineer and struggled with pumping for her daughter. So naturally, she pulled together a team of designers, doctors and engineers, and has been working with clinicians, lactation consultants and most importantly, women who pump ever since to change the climate of breast pumps, continue to challenge the design and ultimately, change the way women feel about pumping.
We chat about the common mistakes women make when pumping, how women feel when they're pumping and how women feel about the amount of milk they're able to express.
So what can women do to change their pumping experience? Listen to our episode. Check out Milkdrop breastpumps and feel free to get in contact for resources.
Happy listening and happy Tuesday

Hello and welcome to season 2. Same hosts, same children intrerrupting, slightly different look.
This week we have launched our very first episode of The Snack, a little morsel of chin-wag about parenting topics that we aren't talking about everyday. This week we discuss 'Can Mum's really have it all?'
What do we think of the 'juggle', what does having it all mean? Where did the idea of having it all come from? Is it something that we genuinely want or is it society/the patriarchy priming us to ‘believe’ we want?
It's all well and good whinging about it, what can we do to change the narrative? Sink your teeth into our bite sized episode and be sure to let us know what you think. Contact us through IG, email us at [email protected] and be sure to Subscribe!
