How to Get More Sleep with a Newborn
So, now you have a baby and
you felt never so tired in your
life before. Well, you must go by
the old saying ‘nap when the
baby naps’. You leave whatever
is occupying you, laundry or
dishes; you can get back to
them eventually.
I know this is practically not very
possible and you need this time
to tackle your daily chores, but
your little one does not
understand all this. So, how about
some real time ideas that can
help you get more sleep?
One tried and tested idea could be
sharing the night time feedings with
your partner, this will ensure at
least few hours’ sound sleep for
both of you. Read on for more
ideas…
Watch, Wait and Try!
Sometimes, the midnight fussing and
crying of your baby is just an
indication that he/she is settling
down. Watch and wait, until you
suspect that the baby is actually
hungry or uncomfortable. Waiting for
a few minutes is perfectly fine for
both of you.
Say no to an Added Responsibility!
Let friends handle this! It might seem that you
lack in social graces, but believe me it is
perfectly fine for a new mom to catch up with
their most needed sleep. While your girlfriends
and sisters can play a host and take care of the
little one. And if your friend or sister is a mom
herself, she would understand and will not deny
visiting often to give you a quick naptime.
It is quite evident that you are a little guilty
of not spending much time with your older
kid or other family embers during pregnancy.
Just don’t say ‘Yes’ for any hectic xcursions
or trips just to overcome this guilt. Do not
agree to any extra responsibilities when you
ave a newborn at home. Refrain from getting
over tired and sleep in whatever time you
get.
Sleep Sharing!
It is tested and proven that the baby sleeps
for longer, if is co-slept with the mother.
Instead, of your baby sleeping in the
bassinet or cradle, make him/her sleep with
you. The baby feels more comfortable close
to you and will have a good long sleep
allowing you to enjoy longer snooze.
Green can give more sleep!
Your little angel needs utmost care to stay
healthy and have a happy siesta. Employ
organic bedding into your sleep system. An
organic bed sheet and comforter like the
bamboo sheet is hypoallergenic in nature,
has moisture wicking properties and keeps
the bed bugs, and microorganism away
naturally, giving you and your baby a ‘no
disturbance’ nap.
Sleep when the baby sleeps!
Not to mention that you must exercise sleeping
in chunks, whenever your baby sleeps. Keep the
phone on silent and keep aside all the chores. The
calls and chores can wait.
Don’t ignore the baby Blues!
Sleep loss or irregular sleep can lead to
mood changes. In fact, you may undergo sleep
disorders or depression, if you are experiencing
some of these, you must not ignore it. See your
doctor to address these issues.
