"Does your little one sleep at night? "
"Don't you get enough sleep?"
" Oh! you look so tired... Got dark circles too... 😯"
These are few common question every new moms come across.. But it very rare that someone asks if we need any help. A lot many changes happen to a women both physically and mentally after her pregnancy.. And one of the biggest challenge is to get enough sleep and rest..
Initial days are really tough.. You go through alot.. You have to feed baby every 2hrs.. Your body needs rest.. On top of all these some new moms have postpartum blues.. or simply depression..
Just make sure to share your physical ailments, concerns, fear and anxiety with your partner or mom or a friend.. Get enough rest.. It may not be possible for you to sleep when baby sleeps. But you can ask for someone to look after the baby when you need rest..
Everything will be fine in sometime. Especially when you try to understand the fact that, you are not alone.. This is one phase of pregnancy that every new moms face.. And when you see the smile of your little one, it's worth all the sacrifices you made.. 😍
To all strong moms out there.. Believe in yourself..

They say sleep wen the baby sleeps. But it's wen the baby sleeps, we can do some work that we were unable to do while he/she was awake. By the time v r done n ready to sleep, the baby wakes up! It's a real challenge. All I can say is, u just have to be strong in ur mind and just remind your self each time that EVEN THIS WILL PASS😊

absolutely correct m recently became a mother n now m a mother of 3 months old baby in the beginning I also suffered alot n cried too wn I wasn't get time to sleep but then i made myself strong n told myself that everyone suffers this I'm not the only one so I have to. in this period family members also expect from u to work specially wn u r wd inlaws so this doesn't work that sleep wn baby sleeps.you can work only wn ur baby sleeps so just make urself strong. As above said this time will pass u just njy the experience watever u r having. Take this time in a gud way then only u can survive. Thankuu n all d best for all new moms

Sleep deprivation is a major concern with all mothers. Leads to many issues including PPD / PPA. lack of sleep leaves the mother exhausted, confused, with the harmonal changes happening it a takes a toll on her health.
Few tips which might help -
take help of family, example husband or mom to hold the child for an hour or so, to get some sleep.
try to work out babies naps in a way that during night atleast you both get solid 4 hr continosuly.
remember it's just a phase and you'll be able to sleep better as the baby grows.
