Sleeping has definitely got better in this house 🙏🏻 How’s your little one sleeping these days? If you’re waiting for your little one to arrive don’t worry, it is amazing how little sleep we actually need to function each day 🤣 They do go through a lot in the first year of life these little ones, so much to learn, so much to take in and adapt to, its normal for sleep patterns to change as a result. But by god does it hit you like a tonne of bricks when that happens 🤦🏼♀️ and then the next day you walk into the room, they see you and smile from ear to ear and you forget all about the night you just had 🥰 Little rascals 👶🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I did speak with a sleep consultant just before I had Jazmine because Jorja was sleeping terribly and I was up with her 4/5 times a night 😴 A useful point she made to me was that it’s very important especially for new mums to get their core sleep in. So the first say ~4 hours sleep after you hit the pillow is crucial that it is undisturbed. Of course it doesn’t always happen but keep it in mind 😘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you first have a baby you have so much adrenaline in your body, the excitement of having your new baby, these middle of the night feeds won’t bother you. I love this time (as long as it’s not every hour right), it’s that special moment just you and them in the middle of the night, it’s lovely and quiet and baba laps up the milk. Come the early hours it’s lovely to just sit there feeding listening to the birds outside as the new day dawns. Those baby snuggles are just the best. I’ll always look back at these times with very fond memories and so will you but you might not know that yet ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
