23 Beth talks tuning out the noise, biologically normal infant sleep and trusting your intuition
Manage episode 299705803 series 2877374
In this week’s episode Beth shares her parenthood journey, and life with her husband Rob and their daughter Emily.
In so many ways this episode feels like the love letter all of us need to receive in those hazy first few weeks and months. Beth speaks openly and honestly about feeling inundated with advice and information, the shift that came with tuning out from the noise, the importance of finding what worked for her and her baby, and just how important a kinship support network is.
Beth speaks with such warmth and generosity about her early postpartum journey, sharing ‘we often hear the happy stories of the early days and the newborn bubble and you know how it is such a special time. I look back on that newborn bubble and I don’t think of it as a special time, you know? And it is sad. It’s sad that I lost that, but it has shaped the mother I have become.’
We talk about breastfeeding challenges and wins, biologically normal infant sleep, and finally realizing that no one will ever know your babe as well as you do.
Oof! Truly, this is the one I would send back in time to myself on those that felt extra grey. It was such an honour to listen to Beth’s journey.
