Why You Should Stop Telling New Moms to Sleep When the Baby Sleeps

When you're a new mom, well-meaning people will tell you things. Seemingly helpful things. They'll tell you their own tales of what it was like for them the first time they brought their bundle of joy home from the hospital. Sometimes they share these anecdotes for the sole reason to bring themselves joy - to revisit a long-lost memory - and other times they do it to genuinely be thoughtful.
