This week on Two Parents & A Podcast we’re celebrating Harrison’s BIRTHDAY (with a gift reveal on camera!!), debating a tiny relationship lie that has the internet divided (it involves key lime pie lol), and talking about a parenting question we genuinely didn’t know the answer to: what bathroom should girl dads take their daughters to in public?!

We get into the new screen time guidelines for kids from the American Academy of Pediatrics and why the conversation around screens is shifting from “how much” to “how and why” (+ the new DESSERT analogy we love). Plus: Harrison’s getting in shape before baby boy arrives (+ his new focus on sleep), we officially started our sourdough era, and we’ve got THE SUIT that Harrison plans to wear when he brings baby boy home from the hospital.

Later in the episode we talk about a neighborhood school Q&A that made us really excited about the future, whether travel actually helps toddlers hit developmental milestones (spoiler alert: IT DOES!!!), and something we saw that we think is really cool: Costco helping make IVF treatment more affordable for families.

Finally, we answer a listener question for Dr. Ari about introducing allergens when a parent has allergies.

LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!!
