Sleep was not always my thing. It took months and several obstacles to overcome before I became a rested mama. But I am on a mission to help as many mothers out there to get rested and not have to suffer like I did where I could not even get myself to get out of bed.

When you bring up the fact that you are tired and your baby is not sleeping well, you start getting all the unsolicited advice from people that may or may not be TRUE. You even find yourself asking questions on online mom groups about your baby’s sleep and find yourself even more confused. Well, there is a ton of WRONG information out there when it comes to baby sleep. 

“My baby has been crying inconsolably for 2 hours now. I am not sure what else to do. How can I help soothe her?”

This is the one question parents usually ask themselves when they find their baby crying and screaming inconsolably.

Does my baby have colic? This is one of the most common questions I get from my clients. Basically, what's happening is that they find themselves overwhelmed and heartbroken to see their baby crying for hours at a time.

NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP.

Since mid-March, the COVID-19 pandemic has altered our everyday life. It has led to thousands dead, ravaged the economy, and caused havoc on everyday work, school, and home life. With school and daycare closures, parents became the primary caretakers and educators while still juggling their full-time jobs. Parents, particularly mothers, are simultaneously juggling work, home, schooling the kids, meal prepping, and numerous other tasks during these unprecedented times.

So you have just given birth. NOW WHAT?

Well, the baby generally may or may not be placed on top of the mother for bonding depending on your method of birth and complications.

But wait...do you really want a baby on top of you when they have just come out of the womb? Why are they so white and what is that waxy substance on their body?

Well that my friends is called the VERNIX, VERNIX CASEOSA to be exact.
