The Motherkind Café Podcast - SLEEP

The Motherkind Café Season 1 Episode 8

Hello! This is the Motherkind Café podcast, a podcast where we talk honestly about motherhood, mental health, and everything in between. We are three mums, Emily Malden, Katherine Crawford and Kats Handel, and we run a postnatal peer support group in Oxford to give space to women to talk about their mental health in the postnatal period.

This episode we chatted about SLEEP! And how we all dealt with the sleep deprivation that accompanies having a small baby to look after. We discuss the various things we tried to help our babies (and us) to sleep better, including, swaddling,  singing nursery rhymes on repeat for hours and the holy grail of baby sleep 'putting down drowsy but awake...'! We also discuss a how disrupted sleep affected our mental health in the early days
