   102. Is Going From One to Two Kids Easier Than Zero to One?

   What really changes after your second baby? In this episode, I'm sharing an honest look at the transition from one child to two - what surprised me, what felt easier, what felt harder, and what I'm doing differently this time around. My girls are almost 1 and almost 3, and while I feel like we're (maybe?) finding a rhythm, the shift from one to two kids has rocked our world. I went into it hoping 1–2 would be easier than 0–1, and today I'm reflecting on where I actually landed. I'm answering your questions and sharing my personal experience caring for a newborn and toddler as a full time SAHM. Here's what we'll get into: Managing the demands of a two little kids simultaneously How love expands (and looks different) with each child What changed the second time around? Cloth diapering, cosleeping, weaning What stayed the same as I became a mom of two? Early homeschool thoughts Navigating sibling dynamics and boundaries Marriage & intimacy in the postpartum period Motherhood keeps teaching me that I *can* adapt, expand, and meet each new challenge as it comes - one season at a time. I'd love to hear from you. What shifted for you as your family grew? What did you keep and what did you let go of?

   101. Gentle Support for Postpartum Blues and Winter Slowdown

   Lately I've been experiencing an emotional & mental dip postpartum. Maybe it's the hormones, maybe it's winter fully arriving, maybe it's just the reality of the season I'm in - but it's been hard. I've noticed more irritability, feeling overwhelmed, being quick to anger, and those quiet thoughts that whisper "you're not doing enough" or "you're a bad mom." In this short episode, I'm sharing a few simple things that are genuinely supporting my nervous system and mood right now. Nothing flashy. Nothing "fixing" me. Just small anchors that are helping me feel more grounded and resourced as a busy mom of two. ✨I'll talk about: Realistic self care What changed when I deleted Netflix Why embracing a more minimal lifestyle has helped calm my mind The importance of sisterhood and staying connected with friends Using a simple chore chart to make my home feel lighter and more manageable Creating intentional tech-free time Making a vision board for the new year as a gentle, intentional practice  (and why I'm anti-new years resolutions) And how I'm learning to honor the slow down that winter invites If you're postpartum, in a tender emotional season, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life, this episode is a reminder that you're not broken and you're not alone. Take what resonates. Leave the rest. 🤍 ------------------------- Connect with me on Instagram @carolineofenstein

103. My Low Stress Approach to Elimination Communication with Baby #2

Published 25 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] It's beneficial for your child to not be in diapers as much, especially diapers that are, you know, chock full of chemicals and whatnot. We know these days it's beneficial. It's communication, improved communication. Some might say improved trust even. So I don't think it really matters if you're practicing once a day, even if your children are in daycare. I mean, you could literally do this I guess I would, I was going to say weekends, but I would probably say you want to pick a time slot every day where they get naked time, even if it's in the evening or first thing in the morning. Oh, which that's another thing that a lot of people in the EC space talk about is those easy catches, which are transition times. […]
