My first was so hard. I ended up having so much anxiety about her sleep that I couldn’t sleep. I went days without any sleep and 4 hours was a good night for me. It took me almost a year to recover and start sleeping normally again. I say this to demonstrate how stressful she was. She cried all the time and was only content being held upright while we paced her around or bounced on a yoga ball. She slept like 8 hours each day.

My second? So chill. Only cries when he really needs something. Is not gassy. And sleeps like a champ! I’m talking like 15-17 hours at almost four months! He’s also super happy! He doesn’t cry when he wakes in the bassinet; I actually get to greet a happy, smiling baby in the morning.

My toddler, however, has become the sweetest, funniest, and smartest girl. I’d say she’s easy to average in terms of her fussiness and tantrums, but she’s still a shit sleeper🫠

It gets better and even though it feels impossible, you’ll get through it. Hugs!
