When the Sunrise star was six months pregnant, the unthinkable happened. It changed her forever.
In the podcast interview, Nat also recalled a difficult time she faced three months after her father’s death - when she welcomed her first son, Lachlan, with husband Andrew Thompson.Instagram / Natalie_barr7“I had a non-sleeping 18-month-old baby and by the time we’d got to 18 months, I just thought I was a total failure of a mum, like I know a lot of mums do.”
Nat said that she had tried to enlist the help of Tresillian - the early parenting service, which offers day stays to help with problems like constant crying.But the techniques she tried were unsuccessful, leading to Nat feeling “even more depressed”. Her luck changed when someone gave her the phone number of a “baby whisperer” who came to her family home and spent four nights helping settle baby Lachlan.
“I can remember her walking in and she was sitting down and saying ‘I’m going to solve your problem’,” Nat recalled.“I was crying... and so distraught.”Nat said that lots of mothers would understand the “helpless feeling” she experienced, wondering, “What have I done wrong?” “My dad had just died - I was six months pregnant when my dad had died - so it made me think, ‘Is that why?’” she said.Your cookie settings are preventing this third party content from displaying.
