When you're extra tired??

Question

I know many of us have a toddler and still aren't getting a full night of sleep with our June babies. Any tips on making the most of days when we are EXTRA tired? 
I just hate that feeling of living my life everyday counting down to bedtime from the moment I wake up in the morning. :(

Answer

My baby sleeps well at night but I'm still exhausted by the end of the day....so I can't imagine how you feel with poor sleep. My older kid is 3y so she is sorta independent but its still hard when she wants to play but the baby is fussy. Makes me feel bad I can't give her all the attention she used to get. But it's only for a short time. So a little extra tv and iPad games is okay in my book! We need to survive however we can 🤷🏻‍♀️❤

Answer

We send the toddler to daycare, which helps a ton. If you don't have that option, see if a family member or friend can come over to entertain the toddler for a few hours to give you a break!

Answer

The days I am extra tired I just try to have a lot of grace with myself. I will be on the couch a little extra. Map out my day with as little demands. Maybe ill let the baby nap on me instead of swaddling and laying him down, or maybe I’ll let my toddler watch a few extra shows on my phone. Trying to give myself more down time so I can function and be a good mom for my littles. 
Sorry you’ve been extra tired! It’s hard with two Little’s. I have a 2 year old and a 10 week old and it’s been a challenge some days for sure!
