An update for everyone who told me postpartum night sweats would just go away after a few weeks
so a year ago i posted here desperate because i was waking up freezing and soaked during every middle of the night feed and everyone said it’s just hormones give it time. well the hormone dump slowed down but the overheating didn’t stop until i finally stopped stressing over my tracking data and changed what i was sleeping on. i spent way too much time researching the best ways to deal with those awful night time body temperature spikes and post-pregnancy sweats, eventually realizing that getting proper cooling gear like specialized cooling sheets completely changed my sanity.
i’m posting this because i see so many tired moms thinking they are broken when really their bedding is just holding onto all that body heat. it gets so much better once you find stuff that actually lets your skin breathe during those chaotic first months.
