RE: Why infant sleep is so important and how you can help your baby (0-3m) get restful sleep
Oh yes it's always tough at first and also watch out for signs of post partum depression such as withdrawing and losing interest in the baby and in life in general. Lack of sleep can increase the risk of it. I had it and it was awful. However babies grow get older and your sleep will be back, and they get their nights and days straightened out.
So sorry you had to deal with PPD. Glad you caught it and got past it. It's definitely something women need to talk about, because it happens way more often than you know. Even though I did not experience post-partum depression, I have had episodes of ante-partum anxiety! I'll definitely write about that at some point. xo
I'm sorry to hear that you suffered as well! None of it is easy and depression in general needs to be talked about more often than it is. In fact my blog post tomorrow will be about my current struggles with depression.
