Newborn Sleep and Postpartum Recovery With Multiple Kids (Dr. Morgan's Postpartum) | #43
What does postpartum really look like when you have a newborn and other kids at home?
In this episode, Dr. Morgan answers your most asked questions following her fourth home birth and shares an honest look into her postpartum experience so far.
We dive into newborn sleep, including how her baby is sleeping, how she navigates difficult nights, and what nighttime support actually looks like in her home. She also shares her approach to splitting responsibilities with her partner and what has worked for their family.
We then explore the concept of a postpartum rest period and what a true “lie-in” looks like. From how long to rest to setting expectations with family and managing the needs of older children, this conversation brings both practical insight and emotional honesty.
Dr. Morgan also opens up about the very real feelings of mom guilt that can come with prioritizing recovery while caring for a growing family.
This episode offers a raw and realistic look at postpartum life and will help you feel more prepared, supported, and less alone in this season.
