Set to support Ed Sheeran in the UK this summer and play his own sold out dates later this year, Lewis Capaldi has now announced an arena tour for next March. He’s also announced that he will use that tour to launch a new initiative called LiveLive, which will support fans who experience anxiety a...Sleep Deprivation: something new parents are only too familiar with. Lucy Barker, our fantastic Infant & Child Sleep Consultant shares her thoughts:
Nothing prepares you for becoming a parent, but it’s the effect on our sleep that really leaves its mark. Of course, some sleep deprivation is to be expected – you’re looking after a tiny human being who has to eat every few hours after all – but for some parents, there is no end and months, even years, of broken nights can take an awful toll on both a parent’s health and their mental wellbeing. Some parents I work with have stopped driving further than short, necessary trips, for fear of falling asleep at the wheel; others are finding themselves unable to cope at work; for others they haven’t slept in the same room as their partner since the birth. For me, I stopped seeing friends because I couldn’t keep up with conversation and had forgotten how to laugh. It may be reflux in those first few months, or a nap-fighter or a little one who simply doesn’t want to stay in their own bed. The results are the same: broken parents.
My advice if this is striking a chord? Get help. The toughest thing to do when you’re barely functioning is to make a change in your life, but asking for help is the way to break this cycle. Help can be physical – someone to cover your childcare while you rest or simply have time out – or it could be practical – a post-natal doula for the early months of someone to help you teach your child to sleep if they’re a little older. It could be a family member or friend or, as is often the case as we’re moving further away from our support networks, paid help. Investing in you is so important because You Matter. To your child. To your partner. To the world. You MATTER. And you being okay is at the heart of your family.
One of my clients sent me a delighted message the morning after they started their plan: “last night I shared my bed with my husband for the first time since my waters broke, 19 months ago”. They’ve not looked back.
