The Baby Sleep Connection: Holistic help for tired, responsive parents who don't want to sleep train

Ep 31: Parenting When Sick


Listen Later

Heather has been under the weather this past week, which has her reflecting on how she managed parenting responsibilities when she was sick when her kids were very young.

Listen in as we move into cold and flu season for ways to manage acute illness when sick.  Have you been sick and navigating parenting?  What helped you through?  

In this episode Heather talks about:

  1. Getting comfortable with not controlling “all the things”.

  2. How perfection and planning can get in the way.

  3. Being sick forces us (helps us?) get priorities sorted pretty fast

  4. What worrying about how we’ll manage is really about

  5. Outsourcing support

  6. Conserving your energy

  7. What happened when Heather had the stomach flu while pregnant and caring for her toddler

  8. Prioritizing Safety, Sustenance, and Self-care
