Care & Feeding | Becoming a Parent Is a Process

On this episode: Slate’s own Aymann Ismail is with us to talk about his new book, Becoming Baba – which is out TOMORROW! 

We’ll talk about the book. But first, Aymann, Jamilah, Zak and Elizabeth take a question from a listener who’s hoping to reclaim the time that she feels like she lost during the newborn phase.

And on Slate Plus: Elizabeth has a dilemma, and Aymann sticks around to help.
