Episode 2780:

Newborn sleep schedules can be exhausting, especially for primary caretakers like Sydney who struggle with sleep deprivation. Experts suggest practical strategies to maximize rest, such as prioritizing naps, setting boundaries with visitors, and taking night shifts with a partner. Small adjustments like sleeping in separate rooms during "off-duty" hours can make a difference. Light exercise, when energy permits, can also aid in reducing postpartum depression and supporting overall well-being.

Quotes to ponder:

"Prioritize sleep. Meaning, when the baby is asleep and you have the option to either use that time to do household chores or sleep, choose sleep."

"It's ok to say no for now and reschedule visits when you’re feeling more rested."

"Getting in a workout doesn’t need to be the priority, but if you have the energy, light activity like walking can be helpful."
