The Post Every Other Parent Hates
When we first brought Lauren home we weren't really sure what to do with a new baby and kind of forgot about sleeping and schedules and stuff. For the first few weeks she was mostly pleasant but would get pretty cranky when we tried to put her down for naps (and she was waking multiple times in the night). A few weeks ago the light bulb went off, April figured out Lauren's sleep schedule, and she's like a new baby! She's been sleeping for 10-12 hour stretches at night, takes multiple loooong naps during the day, and is pretty much only awake for a few hours. And when she's awake she's super happy and alert and ready to hang out and look around. Her awake window is about 1 hour (or less) and then she's ready for another nap! We used to think Parker was the best sleeper ever, but I think Lauren might have him beat.

Even though this was TOTALLY not our experience and I must be one of those "other parents" you are refering to, I am very very very happy for you and think that Lauren ROCKS the sleep thing!!
ReplyDeleteSo envious.
ReplyDeleteOur once fantastic sleeper is no more.
Enjoy all the zzz's!
Gemma: Thanks! It's a very general "other parents", as in it seems like a lot of parents end up with severe sleep deprivation, so they don't like to hear the opposite. At least that's what I've found on message forums and stuff!
ReplyDeleteKristyne: It's probably just a blip! Maybe next month our babies will reverse roles! Babies are crazy, yo.
Grrrrr.......
