Veronica Milsom Staged An Experiment On ...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

If you hadn't heard, babies generate a lot of waste. Like, more waste than we care to admit.

So naturally swinging from one extreme (environmental disaster) to another (zero waste) should be a seamless, obvious choice, right?

WRONG. This week Veronica Milsom reminds us about the time she tried to raise her second baby... waste free.

Warning: this episode contains something called elimination communication (look, idk...)
