ON HYPNOBIRTHING, SLEEP, MOM-GUILT AND SELF-TRUST

The day I had my first child, Willow (4), was the day I stopped sleeping for a long, long time. I know that my situation isn’t unique and I know that it also isn’t shared by everyone but what I know most of all is that TODAY I am over the MOON! A few weeks ago, while we were on vacation, BOTH of our kids officially began sleeping through the night. To be honest, it took about a week for my body to adjust to it. I guess I was in such a state of anxiety during sleep mode that my body forgot how to truly relax and really SLEEP. 

When I had Willow, everything changed for me. Before her, I was a strong, independent, self aware, focused woman of 36. The moment she was born I became anxious, second-guessed almost everything. I became insecure about my mothering style and choices.

Nighty Night

It’s been months since we transitioned from co-sleeping to Wyndham sleeping in his own bed. That was no easy feat. We were all up in arms over how to do it, because nearing his 1st b-day we I, were just not getting enough/any sleep!
