SALUD MENTAL EN EL POSPARTO: baby blues, depresión y falta de sueño

Are you exhausted since your baby arrived? Can't you sleep even when your baby is asleep, and you don't know if this is "normal" or if something else is going on? In this video, I explain, in simple terms, the difference between the baby blues and postpartum depression, how lack of sleep affects your brain, and what you can do to take care of your rest and mental health in these first few weeks. In this video, you'll find: 🔹 Hormonal upheaval and fragmented sleep: What happens in your body right after giving birth, why your sleep is so fragmented, and how this affects your emotions and the feeling of being overwhelmed. 🔹 Baby blues vs. postpartum depression: What the baby blues is, why it's so common, how long it usually lasts, and what the warning signs are that might suggest postpartum depression and warrant seeking help. 🔹 Tools to Protect Your Rest: Realistic ideas when your baby wakes up every few hours: sleep when he sleeps, forget about the clock, ask for support, help him differentiate between day and night, and understand why the "I can do it all" attitude can backfire. 💬 Important message: Being tired after having a baby is expected. Suffering is not. You're not strange or a bad mother for crying for no reason or feeling overwhelmed. Asking for help is a way to take care of yourself and your baby. 💬 Tell me in the comments: Did you relate to anything I talked about in the video?
