Sleep deprivation in the newborn period is an unavoidable reality. The baby wakes to feed every 2-3 hours, so the mother also has continuous fragmented sleep. The first 6 weeks are typically the most difficult; the body gradually adapts to this rhythm but fatigue accumulates. The most effective remedy: sleep whenever the baby sleeps, postpone household chores. During night feedings, keep lights dim and avoid phone use—this makes it easier to fall back asleep. If you're unable to sleep, if you can't sleep even when the baby sleeps for more than 2 weeks, this could be a sign of postpartum depression; in that case, you should consult a gynecologist or psychiatrist.
