When people said, “You’re about to have sleepless nights,” I thought that was a bit of a stretch. It can’t possibly be that bad, right? I mean, as far as I knew, newborn babies only do three things: sleep, eat, poop (and pee!).

So, they’ll probably be dozing off most of the time. Then, when my baby was born, just like that, sleep became a thing of the past. My little boy would take two naps a day, sleep at 6 in the evening and wake up at 4 in the morning.

It would have been no big deal if I slept the same time as him BUT mothers are the jack-of-all-trades at home.

In between taking care of the baby includes feeding him, changing diapers, bathing, doing morning and afternoon care, exposing him to the sunshine, and keeping the entire household together.
