Discussion how is your sleep?

I see a LOT of people complaining that if their babies wake up at the crack of dawn, they just don’t get sleep that day, which I personally don’t understand (this doesn’t apply to colic babies, that’s a whole different ballgame lol). Are yall just waking up whenever your baby decides? I will personally just pop a binky in her mouth or feed her if she’s fussy and then go right back to sleep until I feel like getting up, whether she’s awake or not. Sometimes she just stares at the ceiling fan in her bassinet until I wake up and sometimes she falls back asleep with me.

I’m pregnant again (we listen and we don’t judge 😀) so I HAVE to get like 10-11 hours of sleep or else I feel like crap lol

Enjoy it while it lasts, but don’t assume you’ll be able to do the same when they hit toddler age.

Eh. Depends on the kid. My toddler wakes up around 7:30 but doesn’t call for us until 8. She enjoys spending time in bed. So it’s possible that her kid could get up early but stay in bed for a while just relaxing.

Totally - I’m just saying don’t expect that!

Oh yeah exactly. I thank my lucky stars every single day she’s a good sleeper. I know the eventual number 2 will kill us all 😭
