KEY TAKEAWAYS


Sleep is crucial for both mothers and their children. Establishing a consistent sleep routine can significantly improve overall well-being and energy levels.


For new mothers, expressing breast milk can allow for better sleep. This enables partners or caregivers to help with nighttime feedings.


Ensuring the bedroom is dark, quiet, and equipped with soothing sounds (like white noise) can help mothers and children sleep better.


As children grow, it's important to encourage them to self-soothe. This fosters independence and helps them learn to settle down on their own.


Reducing exposure to screens, especially in the evening, is essential for promoting good sleep hygiene.



BEST MOMENTS

"Sleep is an important aspect of our lives. It's an important thing that we all need to cherish."

"I discovered that coffee does not work for me, because I tried all manners of coffee to keep awake, but I just couldn't."

"As the children get older, yes, you will have more respite."

"It's important that you don't give up on such days. It's so important that you don't let the pain, the challenge, the tiredness, weigh you down."

"Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength."
