I’m watching 16 and pregnant & some parents drive me nuts “YoUlL NeVeR GEt SlEeP aGaIn”....but like newborns sleep on average 18 hours a day so yes you’ll be tired at first but more by choice and fear then the actual baby keeping you awake. I always get nervous because of sids but honestly the newborn stage is cake. They could be more encouraging then trying to scare and scold them.

@alyboo102293 no she didn't have anything wrong my doctor wanted me to wake her ever 2 hours to eat for like 3 months to gain weight even though she was 7 14. And it messed with her she still don't sleep all night she fights sleep and hardly takes a nap hates going to be before 8 and is up before 7 wakes up 2-3 times a night. When she was a infant wouldn't sleep lol I remember falling asleep with her I a carseat sitting on my lap in a rocking chair that's the only way she would sleep. Then when she was like 11-2 she went though like 4 days she slept all night and it messed with me so hard I called my doctor I felt like I was dying and he said my body was just so used to not sleeping that it had to reajust to get some sleep. But my mom said I didn't sleep all night till I was 7 and I was 22 before I could sleep soundly I'd wake up 100 times a night or just didn't sleep for days. I lived on melatonin for a while lol
@monkeymomma2, dang that sounds really stressful I use melatonin gummies for my little ones it mellows them into dream land 😂, I’d say now getting my 3 year old to bed is a shit storm cause she wants to stay up with me all night 😂.
@alyboo102293 ha yea might not be a bad idea. I'm trying to switch to a toddler bed and she won't use it bcuz she headbangs to fall aleep
Everyone has a different experience. My first two were pretty easy as newborns and I thought “this is so easy”. Then I had twins 😳 by the time I got done feeding both of them, putting them back to sleep, and then pumping, I had an hour to sleep before the first baby woke up again. They’re 5 months old and I still avg 6 or less hours of broken up sleep a night.
I understand any time there is double it’s a lot harder. I stayed at my friends when she had her twins and took the night shift for her so she could get some extra 💤.
Newborns usually don’t sleep longer than 3 hour stretches though, that’s not enough time to get into a deep sleep. Basically just a bunch of naps spread out. They’re just letting them know what’s to come 🤷♀️
I can only speak from experience, all 4 of my kids slept more in 4 hour stretches & I breastfed so waking up for 30 mins to feed and change baby then back to sleep I got enough sleep when I chose to sleep rather then staying up and admiring my newborn or doing other things school work etc. It was never as bad even after 4 C-sections as they make it sound.
Ha tell that to my daughter she was up every hour for the first year of her life. She 2 and I still havmt slept a full night some kids just don't like sleep
