How do you mamas sleep at night?!!

Question

How do you mamas sleep at night?!! My beautiful darling baby is a week old and I literally haven’t slept at night.. I’m like a walking zombie! How do you ladies manage?? 😱

Answer

I don’t sleep anymore 😕 my LO is 7 months and she does not nap and doesn’t sleep through the night.

Answer

My LO made a lot of noise while he slept. I couldn't sleep in the same room as him so he went to his own room at 4 weeks. My mommy radar was at %200 with a newborn.

Answer

I haven't slept properly in three years.... That's before I got pregnant with my daughter. She sleeps fine, my body just doesn't know how to sleep anymore. I'm pregnant with #2 and it's worse than ever.

Answer

I had pregnancy insomnia, so I felt better after giving birth.
That being said, you will get more sleep as you baby grows! In the meantime, get help. Ask a friend to hold your baby while you nap. Order in. Get your dad to do the laundry... anything helps!

Answer

I don't think much sleep happens in the first month! Luckily my husband was off for the first two weeks so we would sleep in shifts. After that I would just try to do when baby did. Housework can wait! It gets better though, by 6 weeks my daughter was sleeping for about 7 hours straight at night.

Answer

I didn't! I went on an hour-45 minutes of sleep at a time, adding up to maybe 4-5 hours throughout the day for 7 weeks. Then I had a nervous breakdown, so 0/10 do no recommend. Do you pump at all? and do you have a significant other or someone to help? What finally helped was having my husband give her a bottle or two while I got some uninterrupted sleep. Those 3-4 hours in a row made a big difference. Regardless, baby WILL sleep. You will get to sleep again. I promise. It gets better. For now call in all those favors from the baby shower and let someone else run the errands, make dinners, and clean what can't wait. You're still learning how to take care of baby, and you're still healing up.
