Somewhere in those first weeks or months postpartum, you may have caught yourself thinking: I just want to feel like myself again. Like the old you was still in there somewhere — just temporarily buried under the exhaustion and the feedings and the diapers and the feelings — and if you could just get through […]

Someone told you to just wait for it. Maybe it was your mom. A friend. Your pediatrician. “Oh, you just wait for the four month sleep regression.” Said with a knowing look.
