Postpartum Prep for Baby #2 | What PP is Really Like

So much emphasis when you're pregnant is on labor and birth, but so many don't really give much thought to how they're going to manage once the baby is here. Having one postpartum phase under my belt I wanted to share how I'll be preparing myself for the 4th trimester, both physically and mentally. Enjoy!

Taking Cara Babies Sleep Courses (I filmed this before everything came out about Cara and her husband donating to Trump. I won't promote TCB after any more pre-recorded videos I've made come out. Her newborn and 5-24 month courses worked so well for Theo, and I'll be using that same knowledge for this baby because that's what I'm familiar with and I've paid for them already. But there are many other great sleep experts out there to help if you don't agree with TCB).
