New Parents Exhaustion

Child Psychiatrist & Author Joshua Sparrow reminds us of the common feeling of total exhaustion that can and will accompany a newborn baby, especially within the first few weeks. During this time, the baby’s sleep and wake cycles are the complete opposite of parents. If you feel tired all the time or feel overwhelmed, get support from friends or family if you can to help you through this challenging period. At this point, postpartum blues should be over. If you are still feeling it beyond ten days, start speaking with your doctor for help.
