Mother Hood

Yes—sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, and multitasking rewire the brain temporarily.

Why do some moms grieve their pre-baby life but feel guilty?

Ambivalence is normal, loving your child doesn’t mean missing independence is wrong.

Why do some moms feel lonely even when surrounded by people?

Isolation stems from lack of meaningful connection, not just physical presence.

Can motherhood trigger OCD-like behaviors (e.g., checking breathing)?

Yes—hypervigilance is common, but intrusive thoughts may signal postpartum OCD.

Hormonal memory or nutrient deficiencies (e.g., iron → red meat cravings).

Why do moms dream about forgetting their baby?

Anxiety manifests in sleep; the brain rehearses worst-case scenarios.

Babies

Brain excitement and nighttime practice disrupt sleep temporarily ("sleep regression").

Why do some babies hate swaddles?

High muscle tone or preference for freedom; try arms-up swaddles or sleep sacks.

Why do newborns smile in their sleep?

Involuntary reflexes (not social smiles), often during REM cycles.

Yes—newborns blink less (about 2x/minute vs. 15–20x in adults).

Why do some women’s teeth shift or feel loose postpartum?

Hormones affect gum tissue, and calcium depletion can weaken teeth.
