Can't have a straight 8 hours of sleep

Friend I am not mom or not born the child but I have the experience because I saw my sister and bhabhi they cant sleep when their child is small. The child habit is sleep in day time and wake up and cry at night time. I remember my mother always help to them at night time if the child cry then she also take and make something like kada for stomach. But if bhabhi came from bed room then my mother help her child. Very hard to sleep more time when child is small.

mjhalz8 You have my sympathy..I remember those sleepless nights. It is so difficult to function on little sleep, yet with a baby there is no choice. You just have to go through it and then understand other women when they go through it..maybe even offer to babysit for a new mother. That's what happened to me. I have always said I can handle anything if I get enough sleep but I still remember those days when my kids were babies and I was sleepless..so I wish you all the best and hopefully you will soon get more sleep!

when my kids were born, I also did not have eight hours sleep. maybe two or three hours later I was exhausted. but the more children grow so much better is because they learn and then they slept with me and I felt good. will pass this time nice and remember him as something enjoyable. nice day!

It is normal for us newly moms to experienced sleepless nights.. I even experienced not having a sleep at all because my son doesn't want to go to sleep he just want me to cradle him.. you should be patient that time where you can sleep straight 5-6 hours will come in time.. or if you feel that you really need to take a rest find someone who will take care of your chid even for just how many hours..

Yes, each mother will experience this situation. I also sleep about 4-6 hours a day, but I cannot sleep comfort, because when I sleep about 1 hour, my baby awake and i have to wake up to give her milk. I think we will get sleep comfort when our child reach 1 year old.

I too was patiently waiting for my now 1 yr old son to start sleeping thru the night so I could get some uninterrupted sleep. He still wakes 3-4 times to nurse and I stay tired. Its surprising how well I can function on so little zzz's. I've tried feeding a good hearty meal before bedtime but still wakes about 1am. Sometimes it seems that he's latched on for most of the night. Hope everyone else does not experience this for as long as me.

I did experience this at one point. But then I started adding just a little baby cereal to my daughters formula and she started sleeping longer. She loved the cereal.
