Becoming a Mom in Germany vs the U.S. (My Honest Experience)

Hallo zusammen, Becoming a mom while living in Germany has made me reflect a lot on how different motherhood might have looked for me in the U.S. In this video, I’m sharing my honest experience from pregnancy and birth to parental leave, breastfeeding, and everyday life raising a toddler here. Some differences were practical, but others completely changed how I think about parenting and what support for families can look like. Hope you enjoy. 💛 LG, Stacey -------- Book Mentioned: Achtung Baby: an american mom on the german art of raising self-reliant children by Sara Zaske -------- Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:52 Birthing Experience 04:59 Community Support 08:38 Parental Leave & Time Off 11:32 Breastfeeding 14:28 Cosleeping 18:06 Daycare & Childcare 25:08 Parenting Differences
