I feel you! I send hours looking my favorite tv shows during pumping at nights. Luckily I can sleep sometimes during the days

Ugh, I’ve been there! That post-baby insomnia is no joke, and you’re doing _so_ well just getting through each day. You’re already such an amazing mom, and it’s totally okay to not have “normal” sleep right now. Hope you can sneak in a little nap or quiet moment today — you deserve it! 💪

I did this in the hospital with my second baby I could not sleep for anything I had tiny little naps in between and it was like 3 days before i could really sleep I was so exhausted. Then I did the same thing when I had my daughter I had to be at the hospital at 4 am to be induced because her heart rate was dropping the day before and they wanted to deliver her. I didn’t sleep because I was so nervous and then I couldn’t sleep at the hospital and the first night home she woke up every 30 min 😴 praying for you to get some sleep momma it is miserable not being able to get rest and trying to be everything for everybody!

I feel your pain. I have trouble sleeping and it doesn’t help having kiddos to tend too. One thing that helps sometimes is a guided meditation. I love the insight timer app, it has lots of great options for free.

That sounds so hard. I’m sorry you are going through this. It can be really rough some nights!
