Description

Your baby outgrows their clothes, the bassinet, the swing — and you’re just supposed to be okay about it?? In this episode, Morgan gets real about the emotional gut-punch that comes with your baby suddenly not feeling like a newborn anymore. From packing away tiny onesies to transitioning out of the bassinet to watching her baby babble, belly laugh, and hold his own bottle — it’s equal parts beautiful and brutal.

She shares a Cribside Confession about letting someone else help during dinner (and the mom guilt spiral that followed), why she’s feeling all the feelings about possibly spending her first night away from Mateo, and what happened when her breast pump broke mid-trip in Key West.

If you’ve ever cried over baby clothes, checked the monitor while on date night, or Googled “can a 6-month-old eat french fries?” — this one’s for you.
