Many women report experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety, but these symptoms are transient and relatively mild for most. However, 10-15% of women experience mood disturbances such as Postpartum Depression (PPD) (1) and Postpartum Anxiety (PPD-A).

Imagine waking up from a well deserved nap amongst a pile of baby clothes you were halfway through folding and then looking over to see that your baby is gone... frantically, you rush to the living room following a glorious scent - a roast.

No kidnapper would stop to make dinner so you ease up especially when you see him lying on the couch, reading. His black leather strap that you gave him the first summer you met around his right wrist, the black wedding ring you picked out for him, snug on his finger. His right arm held the book up, the arm which were adorned with beautiful, intricate designs, crafted from the hilt of his wrist to just over his shoulder. His reading glasses were on, pushing his thick, black curls behind his ears.

He wore no shirt. You noticed that. He reached over, penciling somerhing in the margin before scratching his 11 day stubble before adjusting the hat of your baby girl who didn't even stir as she slept soundly on his pale chest. She was tiny, her little arms not even spanning the width of his chest, her legs barely reaching the tip of his navel.

Imagine rubbing your tired eyes in disbelief of your fortune as you silently trudge into the kitchen area to pour yourself a strong coffee. You are wearing one of his Metallica shirts that reaches your knees and a pair of socks, haphazardly bunching around your mid calfs.

Not taking your eyes off of him, you notice the loose black denim jeans he is wearing, his feet crossed over on the arm of the couch, his head resting on the opposite one.

"Reg?"

"When did you wake up?"

"When did you get in? You scared me I looked over and my princess was gone." You pout.

You wouldn't have it any other way.

Your Baby’s Sleep Schedule in the First Year

Is this normal?

Are you reaching for that third cup of joe after being up multiple times last night? Feeling worried that the nighttime interruptions will never end?

Especially when you’re a little — ok, a lot— sleep deprived, it’s only natural to have many questions and even some anxiety about your infant’s sleep patterns.

We’re here for you with answers. First, take a deep breath and remind yourself that there is a wide range of normal sleep behaviors for infants in their first year of life.

Every baby is a unique individual — and that means differences in how they sleep. But let’s take a look at some general trends that you may experience.

Birth through 2 months old

You’ve made it home from the hospital with your little one, and it probably seems like all your baby wants to do is sleep. (Two words: Enjoy it!) During the first few months of your baby’s life, they’ll spend upwards of 15–16 hours a day sleeping.

These trips to dreamland are going to come in lots of small chunks revolving around a cycle of eating, pooping, and sleeping, though. While this can offer you the opportunity to grab some zzz’s during the day while your infant is asleep, the need for frequent feedings usually means that a newborn is up every 2–3 hours day and night — and thus, so are you.

Why so many meals? The first 10 to 14 days of a baby’s life are spent getting back to their original birth weight. During this time, you may even need to wake a sleeping baby. (A horrible feeling, we know.)

Once they’re back to their birth weight, your pediatrician will likely say you do not need to wake your baby to feed at night. This may allow you to go longer between feeds in the evening hours.

But before you start your victory sleep dance (or just victory sleep, really), you should know that for newborn breastfed babies, it’s normal for them to wake every 3 to 4 hours during the night to feed even if you’re not waking them.

Some babies may achieve a slightly longer stretch of around 6 hours as they approach 3 months old, so some sustained shut-eye may arrive in the near future.

Newborn infants commonly fail to recognize the cycles of day and night. To help develop this understanding, you can offer more simulation and light during daytime hours.

To further encourage good sleeping habits, create a quiet, dark environment for night sleep and put your baby to sleep in a crib when they’re drowsy, but not yet asleep.

3 to 5 months old

After your first 6 to 8 weeks as a new parent, you’ll likely begin to notice that your baby is more alert and wants to spend more time interacting with you during the day. Around this time you may also notice that your baby drops one of their naps and sleeps about an hour less each day.

As stretches between sleep cycles lengthen, sleep patterns will also begin to develop. At least one long stretch of about 6 hours of sleep or more may start to appear at night. You can encourage this and don’t need to wake up your little one unless recommended by a doctor to do so.

Continue to put your baby down for sleep in a drowsy, but not fully asleep state. This will set up future success and help with teaching your infant to soothe themselves back to sleep — a very valuable skill!

If you haven’t already created some nighttime routines, you may want to consider doing that now. These routines can be sleep-savers as your child begins to experience sleep regressions and developmental leaps.

Wait… did you say sleep regressions? So, yes — just when your baby falls into a nice rhythm of only one or two wake-ups a night, you may find that they seem to be reverting to waking up more frequently. They may also start to take shorter naps again during the day. These are some key signals that the 4-month sleep regression has begun.

Although this is called a sleep regression, it’s really a sign that your infant is developing, so hang in there and trust that better sleep lies ahead!

Tips for better sleep

Help your baby know that it’s nighttime by making sure that shades are drawn and lights stay low or off.

Establish a bedtime routine early! This can help to send your little one the message that it’s time for a good, long rest. (This can also be helpful during times of sleep regression as a way to soothe your baby with a familiar routine.)

Encourage your baby to eat frequently during the day and especially in the hours leading up to bedtime. During growth spurts, it’ll be much easier for you if they cluster feed during the day — not at 2 a.m.!

Expect changes. (Welcome to parenthood!)

Just when you think you think you’ve got it all figured out and your baby is following a sleep pattern, things may change.

Take a deep breath and remind yourself that it’s because different stages of growth and development require different patterns and amounts of sleep. Your calm attitude can go a long way in soothing your baby back to sleep — you’ve got this.

The takeaway (and taking care of you!)

Although it may seem like forever and a day before your baby will be sleeping through the night, longer chunks of sleeping time will appear before you know it.

As you and your little one navigate the challenging nights that can be part of the first year, make sure to prioritize self-care and enjoy as many sleepy cuddles as you can.

Here are our favorite self-care tips, from new parents like you:

Exercise, even if you don’t always feel like it. (The endorphin boost will have you thanking us.) This can be as simple as a daily stroller walk (or jog, if you’re feeling ambitious) or app-led yoga sesh while your sweet babe naps.

Find time each day to talk with other adults — especially other adults who can relate to what you’re going through as a new parent or just make you laugh.

Get outside alone or with a baby to enjoy some fresh air and soak up some sunshine.

Make sure to prioritize time for your personal care routine. Freshly washed hair and the scent of your favorite body wash can improve your mood and wake you up!

As a Postpartum Doula I am often the first person to provide hands on help and support with a new family. Postpartum support should ideally start from the moment you get home, which is why I have so much experience of helping families navigate this particular problem. Many of my clients (in fact most) come home from hospital with babies that have borderline jaundice results; but what I have noticed is that none of them are given actionable guidance and advice for the first 72 - 96 hours (3 - 4 days) at home prior to their first paediatrician appointment. See the 🔗 in the bio to my latest article for the SIMPLEST (truly simple!) TOP TIP for helping to reduce anxiety over jaundice in those first few days at home Reducing a borderline jaundice test result in the first few days at home can be critical to avoid further medical interventions Just one simple piece of advice about feeding could seriously help you avoid a lot of worry Head to the bio and click the 🔗 for the article and make sure you subscribe to get the next super useful article straight to your inbox EMPOWA YOUR MOTHERHOOD #jaundice #bilirubin #phototherapy #frequentfeeding #bloodtransfusion #breastfeeding #bottlefeeding #newborn #newbornjaundice #newmum #newdad #firsttimemum #sgmum #sgmummies #sgparents #fourthtrimester#empowasg #empowayourmotherhood #postpartumdoula #postpartumconsultant #postpartumcheckup #paediatrician #paediatricianappointment #newbornwellnesscheck (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqaOWUGyGFr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Everything changes

You would think going into 2023 I would of been excited, thing i the oppiste I’m more scared then anything never knowing what to expect, If one day I wake up and my own child gets taken away from me worried I will never be a good enough Girlfriend, I feel like I do everything wrong at the moment never a good mum or never a good girlfriend.

How do you know what is going to happen before I even wake up I hate being asleep as I could lose my child I could have no place to go one day and i wil lose everthing my family everything.

Anything happens between me and my sons dad I will be homeless with a child I could never go back to my mums as then my whole life will be taken over again.

I never had a good childhood and want to make a sure my child has a better one then I did as having so much truma like I do now has never left me it was always on my shoulders woundering if people will take me away from my family like they once did before.

I always wanted to have a family when I was very young but now I know and wish I worked on my career first I wish I had more money I feel like everything is on my shoulders, My baby daddy don’t work and he can barely keep a job and never knowing when he will be able to get another one, I worked my but off to make sure I had a job to go back to once my Son was born as i knew one of us needed to provide for him. I feel like I will be main care giver to my son and his dad at this point.

The only other issue is having someone to look after him aswell.

But all this will fall into place soon I hope....

Till next time

Skinny Girl.

Having Pains Like Cramps After Giving Birth Is Normal

Afterpains, which feel like menstrual cramps, begin shortly after you deliver and last for about two or three days. This also leads to a reduction in the size of your tummy.

Little did I know, this would be the catalyst to completely change my music career direction. Before I had my baby, I was solely creating electronic music, with Amoriah being the primary songwriter. She would write an acoustic song and I would record and produce it. After Vada arrived - sunroof style - I took many months to recover. And as my visible scars healed, some less visible health issues came to light. Insomnia, anxiety, depression, heart palpitations, complete disinterest in food of any kind, thyroid issues...the list went on. Being told I was not allowed to exercise at all (due partly to cesarean recovery but mostly to the thyroid issues) really left me lost. Cycling was my life. So I asked my neighbour if he would mind me using one of his guitars for a little while to keep my mind busy and off my inabilities to do the things I love. Picking up that guitar and learning my first song on day one lead immediately into my dad buying me my first guitar that christmas, buying my first ukelele, then bass, bass uke, electric guitar, 12-string guitar, keyboard, second ukelele, dj decks.... I went from electronic producer one moment to producer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist the next. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj6R4iTBzVK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
