How to Heal from Postnatal Depletion
I was tired. Physically tired. The first reaction of course is, “Well, you have a newborn, Cate, of course you’re tired.” But the baby was sleeping incredibly well – eight or so hours a night – so I was getting sleep. I couldn’t figure out why simple task like walking or holding the baby seemed…
