It's the worst being in the hospital and trying to sleep. When you get home sleep when baby sleeps....every time!

I will surely do my best to sleep when she does! It is hard to do at the hospital for sure lol

It's so tough at first! You'll adapt pretty quickly though ?
I can still remember my last full night of sleep. December 12, 2013 lol. 6 days before my oldest was born. I miss sleep, but I love being a mommy more! ❤️

Our first night home was the hardest. I remember Dh getting up around 5 and telling me to go to bed. I slid into bed and cried. Cuz I knew I was going to get to sleep for longer then 30 minutes. Ds wanted to cluster feed. And nurse all night long. It's the hardest job in the world. But you wouldn't trade a second of it. I know parents that get night nurses to help. I can't imagine letting someone else feed and sooth my newborn all night.

I couldn't let my baby stay in the nursery... I had to have her close to me, and I was eager to care for her. Plus I'm already a light sleeper, so I woke up every time the nurses peeked in my room. I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open right now. I'm just picking up my breast pump and heading home!

The hospital is the worst place to sleep. My hospital has a "snuggle time" where fir 2 hours the nurses are not allowed to bother you, my husband held the baby so I could sleep during that time, probably the only time I actually slept while there. Getting home has been so much better.

I nursed and napped in my recliner... I couldn't help it. I was so exhausted I couldn't keep my eyes open.

It was hard for sure, the nurses did let me sleep in the morning, at least they didn't come into my room, I pretended to be asleep so I could try going back to sleep lol baby kept waking me up to feed. Are any of you breast feeding?
