In this week’s episode, motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey is chatting with us about Sleep Perfectionism, a term she helped coin based on her experience working with Mamas. This is not an official medical diagnosis. However, this is a topic that Alyson sees with her clients time and time again: Losing sleep over your baby’s sleep.This might be you if:-It’s impossible to be away from the video monitor-You obsessively track your baby’s sleep patterns on an app-It is hard to trust anyone else to do the bedtime or nap time routine-You regularly  miss out on activities or events because it interferes with your baby’s sleep Does any of this sound familiar to you?
