Did you start using formula almost within weeks or days of your baby being born? Did that feel like the best choice for your family? Did you have cultural or familial practices which helped you feel supported during the postpartum period regardless of your feeding choices? My guest Sirisha, tech executive turned podcaster and entrepreneur dredges up her memories of those early baby feeding days to share her insights about motherhood and career.On this episode you will hear themes related to:

• Being a first generation immigrant parent
• Merging cultural practices from two different places to find what works best
• The postpartum care Siricha received from her own parents and her in-laws
• Switching to formula within weeks when breastfeeding wasn’t working out
• Realizing that stuff isn’t really what babies need
• Reflections on being a working mom
• Reflections on being a stay-at-home mom
• How the work environment impacts new parents and milk making
