Believe me, I've been there. The first time you held your baby, it literally took your breath away. It was the most exhilarating moment of your life, but you underestimated the sleep deprivation. Sure, you read about it in all the what to expect books, but nothing quite prepares you for the constant exhaustion. You find yourself irritable, and resentful. You may have doubted yourself as a capable adult, a partner, and even a parent. It's a terrible feeling.
Well, I'm here to tell you that you are AMAZING, and your feelings are normal and valid. You brought life into the world, and you are raising someone who will grow up to do incredible things. They will one day hug you, tell you they love you, and maybe even have children of their own. That's all because of YOU. Sounds like a pretty important job, right? So don't you think it’s worthy of a good night's rest?
As miserable as you feel when you're exhausted--your baby is no different. Well-rested babies are happier, and healthier, both physically and emotionally. Sleep-deprived babies are irritable and irrational, just like you and me. The difference is, they don't know what's happening, or what to do about it.
Sleeping through the night is a learned behavior. It's not something babies are born knowing how to do, but it's essential to function in modern society. It's our job as parents to teach them how to do it!
Your baby NEEDS high quality sleep, and so do you--and you BOTH deserve it.
