From Pregnancy to Early Motherhood - Helping You & Your Baby Sleep Through the Night
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For many new moms and moms-to-be, a good night's sleep is a blissful memory rather than an every day occurrence. From surging hormones to physical discomfort, as well as crying babies and nighttime feedings, sleep disturbances go hand in hand with motherhood. Sleep Deprived No More is an all-in-one resource for dealing with the most common complaint of pregnant women and new moms: difficulty getting enough sleep.
Many pregnant women struggle with sleep problems, starting right from the beginning of pregnancy. Some women experience nine long months of exhaustion, which can continue long after their babies are born. Dr. Jodi Mindell provides useful tips and proven strategies on how to get a good night's sleep during pregnancy--from developing a sleep-friendly lifestyle to setting up your bedroom as a sleep haven--and also addresses what to expect, trimester-by-trimester, as your pregnancy progresses. Once your baby is born, she offers specific advice on surviving (and enjoying) the first six weeks and how new moms can get the sleep they need, and she also explains how to help your baby sleep through the night.
Sleep Deprived No More proves that restful sleep is possible during pregnancy and post-baby, and offers practical instruction on how to get the sleep you need, such as:
-- Adjusting your sleep schedule to your changing body and the arrival of your new baby
-- Finding a comfortable sleep position and how to make use of props
-- Eliminating common causes of sleep problems such as leg cramps, back pain, itchy skin, and heartburn
-- Identifying and conquering common sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome
-- Handling nursing and nighttime feedings
-- Getting your baby to sleep through the night
