New Mom Naturopath: postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, newborn milestones, breastfeeding tips, extreme fatigue

Are you a new postpartum mom struggling to find yourself amid extreme fatigue and sleep deprivation? Do you find yourself rocking your baby late at night, googling to see if your baby’s sleeping, eating, and pooping are “normal” - and finding yourself even more confused? Do you worry that you’re doing everything wrong as a new mom and wish you could trust that you are the best mom for your baby? You’re in the right place. Say goodbye to the late-night panic searches about sleep patterns and nursing questions, and welcome to the New Mom Naturopath podcast! In this podcast, we’ll explore how to find - and feel like - yourself again in the busy, beautiful world of being a new mom. I’ll answer your postpartum questions about sleep patterns, nursing and feeding, caring for your baby, yourself, and your needs. I am Dr. Kailyn Galloway, a mom and naturopath who loves everything postpartum. My son was diagnosed with clubfeet while I was pregnant. He was a healthy baby, but my postpartum experience was nothing like I thought it would be. Despite my education, I still felt anxious about whether I could be the mom my son needed me to be. To find peace, I tried everything - researching, meditating, and journaling. No matter what I did, I worried I wasn’t enough. But here’s the thing: postpartum anxiety is a reality for many, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. You’re not alone. Through focusing on my mental health, doing lots of research, and trial and error, I was able to create a practical plan for post-baby life that worked for me. And now I’m excited to share it with you! If you want to feel calmer, more patient, and confident as a mom... If you’re interested in practical stress-reduction techniques that fit your hectic schedule… If you want to understand your body’s changes in postpartum, use that to be more energetic and attentive… Then you’ve found your sanctuary in the New Mom Naturopath podcast. Grab a snack and lots of water—nursing cover optional—and let’s discover how to be the mom you’ve always wanted to be.
