Learning To Mom - Motherhood Podcast for First Time Moms

Laila started Learning To Mom as a first-time mother herself, and that personal investment comes through in every episode. With over 128 episodes and counting, she mixes solo deep-dives with specialist interviews -- lactation consultants, pediatric sleep coaches, pelvic floor therapists -- all while keeping things genuinely approachable. Episodes typically run 30 to 45 minutes, long enough to actually get into a topic without feeling like homework. What sets this show apart is the blend of practical baby-care information with the emotional and spiritual side of motherhood. Laila brings a faith-based perspective (she speaks openly about her Christian background) without ever being preachy about it. One week she might walk you through infant sleep training research, and the next she's having a raw conversation about losing your sense of identity after giving birth. The show covers everything from pregnancy prep and postpartum recovery to breastfeeding struggles, toddler milestones, and keeping your marriage intact when you're running on four hours of sleep. There's also a strong thread around holistic and non-toxic living -- choosing safer products, natural remedies, that kind of thing. Laila has a warm, encouraging delivery style that somehow manages to be informative without making you feel like you're failing at motherhood. Her tagline about keeping moms "informed and empowered without feeling overwhelmed" actually holds up. With a 4.6-star rating from over 200 reviews and weekly releases still going strong into 2026, this one has earned its loyal following.
