It is such a change of life to become a mother after delivering a baby. Hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, changes to routine and much more create challenges we never dreamt of. One of the big hurdles moms face is how to get more sleep. When our nerves are frazzled, we are easily triggered by the problems we face. Getting sleep and teaching our children how to sleep become pivotal in regaining our well-being, optimal performance and definitely our sense of cheerfulness. It is also important to the improvement of our marriage and the family dynamics that are impacted by our dispositions.
There are many ways to sleep train your child. The earlier you begin, the easier it is. However we all learn at different moments and in different ways what we are willing to try. I so enjoyed this recent post that very much reflected my own path during the early years of my marriage when I had to naturally learn to tackle this topic with the help of my husband. It certainly paid off after the birth of our second and brought so much vitality to our lives. Knowing our child could fall asleep on their own early in the evening and sleep through the night took a heavy load off our shoulders. My husband and I had time to be a couple and our evenings became more our own. More energy, greater resilience and increased unity flooded our family when more sleep became the daily norm.
Even now in empty nest mode, I find it important to listen to my body, lie down in the afternoon to close my eyes, have quieter evenings to live better sleep routines and an early lights out to nourish my body.
May you too find what you need at this point in your life to keep your gas tank full for what lays ahead, rather than squeezing yourself to the last drop. Enjoy this article by a young mom and her journey to sleep training. She has a great website worth checking out!
