Snooze.
I love my sleep. I’m that kind of girl that needs 8 hours+ to be able to function accordingly and look alive and well! Because sleep is kind of a big deal around here, I thought I would blog about it! As a new mom you might think I don’t get ANY sleep, wake up every hour, on the hour… catering to our one year old little Liam! #wrong. From day one we put our sweet little Liam on a feed/wake schedule and sought advice from one of my dear friends Desiree, the brains behind Rock a Baby. (Sleep training and everything else you need to know about how to get your sweet baby on YOUR sweet schedule).
That being said, Liam sleeps 12+ hours a night and we get our sleep. It’s a priority around here. So why not get ready for your big night in a something comfy, relaxing… soothing yourself into a sea of pillows! (Are you still awake?) As beautiful as all this sounds, yes- we lover our sleep, yes- Liam is an amazing sleeper, but we still stay up late watching episodes of The Vampire Diaries or Reign, working late writing blog posts at 11:29PM. Looks like it may be a few more hours till I hit the sack! Na-Naight. zzzz.

Monika, I am so glad to hear that someone else prioritizes sleep! I had my two boys 19 months apart so the only way to survive with a baby and a small toddler literally was sleep training. I can’t recommend anything more highly to a new mom! I make sure that everyone has plenty of downtime and rest in our house. Happy weekend!
Thank you for the shout out Monika! And yes – we share your love for sleep, it is essential and we like having lots of it, every night. We did the same thing as you – used the services of Desiree at Rockababy and our kids sleep sound all night. Plus, it would kind of be absurd if we had a nightwear company and weren’t getting any sleep, right?
Thanks Monika! It makes me so happy to have been a part of your family Sleep Plan, and getting you the “Sweet Sleep” you all need. You guys certainly do need your sleep, and you did it from day one by building healthy sleep habits for Liam.
Thanks @SleepShirt! I loved working with you guys. You know like Monika, how tough it is to get those healthy habits in place, but boy is it worth it! ❤️
Hi Monika,
I’m curious if you were hesitant to sleep train at such a young age and put Liam on a sleep/feed schedule. I have a baby about the same age as Liam and read a ton of research that said not to even try sleep training until they’re 6 months old and to demand feed and give them what they need (they’re new babies after all). My baby sleeps like a dream now without really doing a structured sleep plan and quite honestly I wasn’t comfortable not feeding her when she was hungry and letting her cry when I could just pick her up. Did you have reservations about that, particularly as a doctor?
thanks for the rock a baby site! so great to know that this kind of a professional exists (i had no idea).
Amy,
YES!! She is so amazing! She even does Skype calls! Take full advantage! 🙂
