Baby Sleep Patterns

It is completely natural for a baby in the first months of life to have variable sleep patterns, which include many sleeps of 2-3 hours and occasional longer ones. Often no real pattern is seen until about 4 -5 months, and when you finally see a predictable pattern, it changes. Small babies need to wake so they can feed often because their tummy capacity is so small. The majority of babies wake, feed and return to sleep at least 2 to 4 times overnight, which they need to do. https://www.safesleepspace.com.au/blogs/news/baby-sleep-patterns

Pregnancy alters woman's brain 'for at least two years' - BBC News

Pregnancy reduces grey matter in specific parts of a woman's brain, helping her bond with her baby and prepare for the demands of motherhood. Scans of 25 first-time mums showed these structural brain changes lasted for at least two years after giving birth. European researchers said the scale of brain changes during pregnancy were akin to those seen during adolescence. But they found no evidence of women's memory deteriorating. Many women have said they feel forgetful and emotional during pregnancy and put it down to "pregnancy" or "baby" brain - and, it seems, with good reason. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-38341901

Being flexible will save your sanity. Our village of the past was so essential for supporting those early years. It is NOT a failing to ask for some guidance or help, it is intelligent and sensible to seek advice, as the adjustment to all the new events of parenting are challenging, especially around this time of year xx
