Tara Williams joined me today to talk about the amazing and safety certified sleep sack and swaddle that she has created.  There are so many baby sleep products out there and it feels like a lot of them end up being deemed unsafe or not advisable to use. That is why I was excited when I found this sleep sack because this is something that works and helps babies sleep better and is safe!!  Hope you enjoy!

Today I shared six easy to follow self care tips to make sure that you are taking care of yourself during these strange times we are living in.  Many of us are parents, have jobs and lots of responsibilities and a lot of us are being asked to carry on as usual but nothing at all about this is usual!  So its easy to go into panic, completely stressed out, I am running out the front door with my hair on fire mode!  Which isn't going to serve you or the people around you well.  So my hope was to share a little of my own journey during this time and some tips I have gathered along the way and I am using that you may find useful.

Today I sit down with a previous client of mine, Haley.  She shares the very real story of sleep deprivation and how it impacted her feelings towards motherhood and her baby.  

Jumping into the world of parenthood is a challenge for all of us. Its stressful, its challenging and can make you feel ill-equipped, especially if you have a baby or child that doesn't sleep well.  Sleep deprivation is real and there is a reason that it is used a form of punishment in war prison camps.  It is absolutely brutal and debilitating.  The link between sleep and mood has been studied for years by researchers and doctors.  People with poor sleep have a higher risk for anxiety and depression.  Postpartum depression is much worse if you are not sleeping.  I know when our daughter was a baby I wasn't sleeping and I struggled.  If this is how you feel, know that you are not alone, there is help out there.   

Below is a link to a free quiz.  Its OK to admit you are struggling and its OK to get help.
