Plastic has been the go-to material for baby bottles for decades, but recent concerns have raised questions about its safety. Although BPA was banned in baby bottles over a decade ago, similar chemicals like BPF and BPS are still used as replacements, and research on their long-term effects is ongoing. Additionally, the issue of microplastics in plastic bottles has become a growing concern, with studies suggesting that babies may be exposed to tiny plastic particles that could impact their development. In this episode, you'll learn practical tips to minimize risks associated with plastic baby bottles, from safe handling and cleaning practices to the importance of avoiding excessive heat. We’ll also discuss alternatives, including the pros and cons of glass, silicone, and stainless steel bottles. Whether you’re already using plastic bottles or exploring other options, this episode will empower you to make a well-informed choice for your baby’s health and safety.

Ultrasounds have revolutionized prenatal care, and it is incredible that we have technology that allows us to see a baby inside the womb. Ultrasound technology began with 2D black-and-white pictures and has advanced to include 3D, 4D, and even 5D images and video. While prenatal care providers sometimes use 3D ultrasounds, most are elective ultrasounds for parents to see their baby and get keepsake images and videos. While this has become popular, the medical community has raised concerns about elective ultrasounds. Learn about 3D ultrasounds, the evidence on safety, potential risks, and tips for making an informed decision.

Tune in to this episode to get answers to these essential questions and more, and ensure you and your baby are getting the right nutrients at the right time.

The COVID-19 pandemic was the most significant global health crisis since the 1918 Spanish Flu. Fortunately, the severity and lethality of COVID-19 have greatly diminished. The overall risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 is now low, including for pregnant women. However, there is evidence that contracting COVID-19 during pregnancy may increase the risk of adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, cesarean delivery, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and blood clots. To reduce these risks and provide passive immunity to the baby, healthcare professionals recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant women. Deciding whether to get vaccinated during pregnancy can be challenging, as it requires weighing the potential risks and benefits. This can be even more challenging with new vaccines that use innovative technology, where there is limited data and no long-term research yet available. Additionally, if you opt in to the COVID-19 vaccine you have choices regarding the type of vaccine and when to receive it. Learn about the available evidence on the safety, risks, and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy so you can make an informed and confident decision.

This episode responds to a listener facing constant morning sickness and the conflicting emotions of wanting to be excited about pregnancy while struggling with uncomfortable symptoms. Morning sickness affects 60-80% of expecting mothers, and while the good news is that it typically subsides over time, there’s no one-size-fits-all cure. Finding relief can be a trial-and-error process. In this episode, we explore a variety of evidence-based remedies that may help alleviate nausea, including dietary changes, supplements, essential oils, and physical interventions.

RSV stands for respiratory syncytial virus, a common respiratory virus that usually causes upper respiratory illness with mild, cold-like symptoms. For some groups, like infants, RSV can be a severe lower respiratory tract illness. With no licensed vaccine available for babies, there are two options for protection against RSV. One option is a maternal RSV vaccine during pregnancy between 32 and 37 weeks from September through January. The other option is monoclonal antibodies administered to newborns within a week after birth. The vaccine and antibodies for RSV are both relatively newly approved treatments. This episode examines the available research to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these options so you can make an informed decision for yourself and your baby.

Tdap is an inactivated vaccine that protects you against three different illnesses: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Pertussis is commonly known as whooping cough. The Tdap vaccine is recommended between 27 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. The main reason any vaccine is recommended during pregnancy is for the passive immunity your baby receives. Vaccines are a complex and often controversial topic. This episode follows a systematic approach that includes thorough research to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Tdap vaccine.

Flu, or influenza, is a contagious disease caused by the influenza virus. In most healthy adults, flu symptoms are typically mild and resolve within about a week. However, during pregnancy, the body's heightened inflammatory response can increase the risk of complications from the flu. To reduce these risks and provide passive immunity to babies, healthcare professionals recommend the flu vaccine for pregnant women. Deciding whether to get vaccinated during pregnancy can be challenging, as it involves weighing the potential risks and benefits. Additionally, you have choices regarding the type of flu vaccine and the timing of administration. This episode reviews the research and considerations for making an informed decision about the flu vaccine during pregnancy. This episode is up to date for the 2023-24 flu season.

Protein does more than build muscle mass. Protein is necessary to structure, function, and regulate virtually all tissues in your body. You can imagine you need protein for yourself and your growing baby during pregnancy. While there is a Recommended Daily Allowance for protein during pregnancy, some research shows the RDA is underestimated and varies based on the stage of pregnancy. Supplemental protein powders are an easy solution to add protein to your diet. There are considerations when selecting a protein powder and caution for some of the ingredients and contaminants found in some powders. This episode examines the evidence on protein requirements during pregnancy, sources of protein in animal and plant-based diets, and supplementing with protein powders.
