When will I start to feel like myself again?

So, the baby is now 3 months old and my partner is back at work full-time. Now that I’m by myself with her, I am noticing how I still really don’t feel like myself. Is this normal? When will I?

Not sure if I’m ready to step away from my job for the baby - help!

Career question! Who’s had the job of your dream or a leadership position that you worked really hard to get to and then a baby led you to step down or walk away from your job/position? What'd you do? Any advice?

I have a 1.5 year old that will not sleep through the night and is having so much difficulty falling asleep… other mamas, would you suggest working with a night nurse or sleep specialist? I’m really tired…
