Sleeping Problems: New Parents and Possible Solutions

Those romanticized, glossed-over versions of parenthood are far from reality. But holding your little one in your arms makes you feel like you’re on cloud nine, doesn’t it?

Zie knows you are juggling late-night feedings, diaper changes, and waking up every now and then with just a hint of anxiety–-checking if your baby is okay. And then, when you are finally done, watching them sleep so peacefully, you think, “Finally! My turn to rest.” Only to look at the clock and realize… It’s already 6 AM 😩

I know it’s tough, but here are some ways to improve your sleep quality–even in the little rest you get:

1. Teamwork:

 The golden rule: You and your partner are a team! You are in this together. Plan alternate late-night feedings, diaper changes, and all the other tasks so that both of you can get adequate rest. 

2. Embrace Catnaps:

I know that new-borns wake up every now and then during the night. This is mostly because of hunger and discomfort. So, sleep when the baby sleeps. Yes, it is easier said than done, but even a quick 20-minute power nap can give you the energy boost you need to go about with your day. 

3. The Comfort Factor: 

Get yourself a good, well-supportive mattress and pillows! As a new parent, you may experience frequent aches and pains–especially mothers, who go through various bodily changes. An uncomfortable mattress or pillow will only make things worse. Mothers may also experience hot flashes post-pregnancy, so choosing the right mattress and pillow will help you sleep comfortably and take care of your well-being. You have to be mindful about your body even post-childbirth.
