Episode 62 of *Babies Down, Bottles Up* was equal parts hilarious, chaotic, and deeply relatable. Titled “Salty Milk While On The Go,” this conversation captured the real struggles and funny moments of blind moms traveling with their kids to sports events while still trying to compete themselves. Between salty breastfeeding jokes, falling off golf carts, and packing hacks for survival, Kisha and Josselyn pulled back the curtain on what it’s really like balancing motherhood, sports, and travel.

How It All Started

The episode kicks off with Danny welcoming listeners and pointing out that only two of the three moms are present—Taryn was away on a cruise. Kisha and Josselyn then dove right into their sports journeys. Their friendship began back in 2015 at the Beep Baseball World Series in New York, where they instantly bonded as the only two women in a hotel room full of men. That shared moment of seeking safety and connection set the tone for a friendship that would carry into parenthood, sports, and now this podcast.

Traveling with Babies and Breastfeeding Realities

Josselyn shared how her first trip with her kids to a World Series happened when her daughter was still a baby. She wasn’t playing at that time because she was still breastfeeding, but the logistics of simply being there were overwhelming. Kisha chimed in with her own stories of trying to balance early pregnancy, sports, and caring for her son Zane, recalling how nobody even knew she was pregnant when she played in 2018. Of course, it wouldn’t be *BDBU* without humor—Kisha joked about how in the heat, ‘salty milk’ was inevitable for breastfeeding moms on the field.

The Chaos of Traveling with Kids

As the conversation deepened, the moms got into the nitty-gritty of what traveling with kids really looks like. Kisha described the nightmare of hauling car seats, bags, and kids while trying to figure out what field to go to, often without extra help. Both moms agreed that the first trip always teaches you everything you need to know for the next one. Consistency, especially with safety routines like hand-holding, became key to making sure kids stayed safe while parents carried all the gear. Josselyn emphasized how important it is to know your family’s capacity and be realistic about what you can handle.

Accidents, Mishaps, and Unforgettable Stories

No BDBU episode is complete without a few wild stories, and this one delivered. Kisha recalled the infamous moment she and her kids fell off a golf cart in Beaumont, Texas during a rainstorm, sliding down a hill and ending up soaked and muddy. She laughed about how her reputation for falling is ‘on brand,’ and fans were reminded of her Patreon story about ending up in a ditch. These stories underscored the unpredictability of traveling with kids, especially while juggling the demands of being an athlete.

Packing Hacks and Survival Tips

Both moms shared their go-to strategies for making travel manageable. Josselyn swore by rolling complete outfits into cubes to avoid searching for socks and shirts in separate bags. She also relied on wagons, play yards with canopies, and misting fans to keep her kids cool in the summer heat. Kisha emphasized the importance of water, snacks, and letting kids carry their own backpacks with essentials. They both agreed: you can never have too many snacks when traveling with kids.

Community Support and Childcare

A recurring theme throughout the episode was community. Both moms talked about how vital it was to have family, friends, and teammates help watch kids during games. Josselyn highlighted how much easier things became when the league introduced childcare at the field—something the women of the league fought hard to make happen. Knowing that their kids were safe gave them the chance to focus on competing and enjoying the sport, instead of constantly worrying.

Traveling Alone as a Blind Parent

One of the most eye-opening parts of the conversation was Kisha’s story about traveling alone with her kids. From using backpack leashes to managing iPads and expensive in-flight Wi-Fi, she painted a vivid picture of what it’s like to parent in transit. While exhausting, she shared how her kids have grown into reliable little travel buddies, making things easier with age. Still, she stressed the importance of mentally preparing for the emotional and logistical challenges of solo travel.

Final Thoughts

Episode 62 of *Babies Down, Bottles Up* was raw, funny, and full of wisdom for parents everywhere. From the salty milk jokes to the practical packing hacks, Kisha and Josselyn once again proved that parenting is messy but survivable with humor, planning, and community. For blind parents in particular, their stories shed light on the unique challenges and creative solutions that make family life possible—on and off the field.
