Ask what?!

“Does your baby sleep through the night?”

Ugh, why do people even ask that question?!

I seriously question if those who are asking even have children, want children, or yet..do they even KNOW anyone with children?!

People should be asking this instead..”Does your toddler sleep through the night?” Or better yet.. “How are you guys (parents) sleeping?”

The reality is that when the baby was born our toddler was still waking up twice.. once if my husband was lucky. It wasn’t every night but he would do this every couple of weeks for a couple days or so during the week. 😒

So NO our baby doesn’t sleep through the night. Yours shouldn’t and probably doesn’t either unless you gave birth to the unicorn so don’t feel like you’re doing something wrong!

Even though my 3rd baby was born at almost 10 pounds he still wakes up to feed so he can survive. It’s part of life and it’ll only last for so long. Hang in there, sleep when they sleep, and know this too shall pass.

BUT SERIOUSLY! SLEEP WHEN THEY SLEEP.. Even if it’s only for 20 minutes OR you may lay on the couch, “rest your eyes,” then open them to see your toddler trying to sit in the baby swing that currently has said baby in it. #keepingitreal
