133: You and Me, Baby: Learning Motherhood as We Go with Aisha Saeed

In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I sit down with bestselling children’s book author and mom of three, Aisha Saeed, to talk about her beautiful new picture book You and Me, Baby. This heartfelt story is a love letter to the bond between a parent and their baby and a reminder that we’re all learning how to parent as we go.

We talk about the vulnerable Instagram post that sparked the idea for the book, how motherhood has shaped Aisha’s writing, and why it matters to tell stories that reflect real families and real emotions. 

This episode is for new moms, seasoned moms, and anyone who needs the reminder that there’s no “perfect” way to parent—just love, growth, and learning together.

In this episode, we cover:

• What inspired You and Me, Baby
• How a social media moment turned into a bestselling book
• The emotional side of learning how to parent
• What motherhood has taught Aisha
• Why representation in children’s books matters
• How our kids teach us just as much as we teach them

You and Me, Baby is out now and makes a perfect baby shower gift, bedtime read, and keepsake for new families.
