Mom Burnout | The Latched Mama Podcast Ep.94

Lindi and Melissa talk about Mom Burnout- a deep level of exhaustion that comes from unending caregiving demands. It comes down to making choices and setting expectations that being a mom isn't always rainbows and sunshine. If you can, prioritizing yourself from time to time can work wonders!

New here, and enjoyed this video! Great encouragement to verbalize and prioritize our need for rest and boundaries, while still soaking up the cuddles with our littles. (Also, unrelated: I was looking at Lindi and thinking, "She looks like an athlete... maybe a volleyball or basketball player?" and then found out on the 4th Trimester Bodies project that she was :) )

It was nice to hear this. I'm homebound with my toddler and preemie while my husband takes care of the house. I've definitely felt the adrenaline crash. I have been able to prioritize basic needs to ensure my breastmilk is in good production. It's just hard balancing the baby things that need to get done.

It sounds like you are doing a great job and the best thing you can do is focus on the “now” right now!
