"Sleep when the baby sleeps." Stop us if you've heard that one before! This advice is well-intentioned (and may work for some) but it's hardly a good solution to the very real, very frustrating phenomenon of sleep deprivation that parents (especially first-time parents) experience. In this episode, Dr. Harris talks to pediatrician Dr. Mona Amin about the importance of getting good sleep during the "fourth trimester," why it can be so hard, how your sleep changes postpartum (hormonal shifts, newborn baby sleep schedules, etc.), and provide some tips on how to actually get sleep.
