Hi. I'm dr cathryn,

We all assume that sleep deprivation is an inevitable part of being a new parent. While this may be true for the very early weeks of your new baby’s life, it does not need to be a problem that persists for months. Yes, you can get more sleep, really!

There are several mistakes that many parents innocently make that can result in days, weeks, months and even years of sleep loss and problems. The best way for you to avoid these mistakes is to be aware of them.
