Ep 15: Self Doubt and Baby Sleep: Parenting in the Digital Age

In this week's solo episode, Jenna muses and reflects on some topics that are very relevant to her current life: baby sleep, postpartum recovery, and navigating newborn life in the digital age. She reflects on her own self doubt and difficulties tuning into her instincts: a difficulty furthered by her addiction to google and her use of social media. 
Jenna discusses our cultures obsession with baby sleep, and how the myriad of perspectives and recommendations around baby sleep cause parent's to question themselves and their babies. She reflects on our tendency to compare and despair, and begs the question: "what was it like parenting before the internet and all it's opinions were in the palm of our hand?" Has any generation ever been free of advice, opinions, and external standards when it comes to parenting?

Jenna doesn't have the answers, but her reflections may give you food for thought or at least help you feel less alone!
