read this if you obsess about your kids.

Hey Mama!!

Do you find yourself obsessing about your child? Maybe it’s milestones, growth charts, or even their behaviors.

Most modern moms struggle with this, too.

Last week, I talked about Things Modern Moms NEED to stop Obsessing Over (which you can watch below):

The #1 thing I obsessed over was sleep.

How much they slept… how long…. the wake windows…. yeah… alllllll the things.

Mainly because my first didn’t sleep for the first 6 months….. it felt like I was doing everything wrong……. NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED.

This obsession is what led to sleep training.

This is by far my BIGGEST regret of motherhood.

Not only did I miss out on precious snuggles and moments with her… but I severed the connection and attachment within our relationship.

It was because of this obsession that I first experienced the feeling of rage.

And it terrified me.

4 Year later, I realize that a LOT of moms struggle with rage around sleep.

If you are reading this and struggle with rage around your child’s sleep, I have 3 pieces of advice:

• #1 Let go of the Expectations around Sleep.
• #2 Read the Book: ​How the Eskimos Keep their Babies Warm​ (this is an affiliate link)
• #3 Get Curious about What Triggers you with Sleep and What beliefs surround that!
