Sleep When The Baby Sleeps
Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest issues when dealing with stress and post partum depression. The lack of rest due to interrupted sleep, plus the physical strain of nursing if breastfeeding, and making sure that the babies needs are all taken cared of leaves little time to care for yourself. So when the doctor tells you to nap when your baby naps, it’s actually some of the best advice a new mother can get. Remember, everything else will eventually fall into place as long as you’re in the right mindset. And that won’t happen unless you’re getting the rest that you need too.
