Hey mama did you get up last night? Was it one time, three times, twenty times? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I was up too.
I know how tired you are, mama, because you are just like me. Your eyes are heavy, your stomach feels sick, and your body aches. You don’t know how you’re going to get through the day and neither do I. Yet we somehow manage to do it. We look at our babies and think why? Why can’t you just sleep?
The problem is our society tells us that our babies should be sleeping peacefully all the time. If they are not, then there’s something wrong and we need to do something about it. But what society fails to recognize is that there was never a time until now that we expected our babies to do this. Modern society believes babies should come into the world and make very little noise, learn to self soothe, breastfeed only in intervals, and sleep through the night.
