No One Told Us About 2-Hour Nightly Feedings! 102

Who knew that becoming a parent meant saying goodbye to uninterrupted sleep?

One of the biggest surprises for many new parents is the constant feeding cycle of a newborn. They need to be fed every 2 hours, even in the middle of the night!

While it can be incredibly challenging and exhausting, it also gives us a deeper appreciation for our own parents. Just imagine the sacrifices they made, feeding us and caring for us throughout the night, year after year.

But don't worry, mamas and papas, you're not alone! There are countless other parents going through the same experience. We're all in this together!

Here are a few tips for surviving those late-night feedings:

Get organized: Have everything you need (diapers, wipes, burp cloths) within reach.
Tag team with your partner: Share the feeding responsibilities to allow each other some rest.
Invest in a good rocking chair or glider: This will make those late-night sessions more comfortable.
Don't be afraid to ask for help: Don't hesitate to let family or friends offer support during this demanding time.
Remember, it gets easier: This phase won't last forever! As your baby grows, they'll start sleeping longer stretches.
Though it may feel tough now, these late-night feedings are precious moments you'll cherish forever. Soon enough, you'll be reminiscing about them with a smile!
