Almost immediately after having a baby, strangers and family alike want to know how your baby is sleeping? I don't know the purpose of this question. Are you trying to compare me to yourself, make me feel bad if my baby doesn't sleep up to your standards, or do you have nothing better to say? Even as a first time mom, it was shocking to me how many other first time moms have it so imbedded in their heads that their babies must sleep through the night. Everyone always asks, "My baby is 6 weeks old and won't sleep unless they are held, what do I do?" Do you know what you do? You hold your baby. You can't get that moment back. I feel like our parents make us think we can't hold our babies because they were raised to almost feel bad for holding us to much.

| Nugget sleeping his first week home |
I write this because my baby didn't sleep. Well, he slept when I held him or when I wore him, but then I couldn't sleep and everyone's piece of advice is sleep when your baby sleeps....this is a load of crap...most of the time. For us, the first 6 weeks were a big crap shoot of when Nugs would actually sleep. Most of the time he was in his car seat or wrapped in the Moby. Then at 6 weeks something happened. I was reading him a story while he played in his crib and he fell asleep. Now I am not one to wake a sleeping baby, but I didn't know if I was ready for Nugget to sleep in his room. Up until this day we either co-slept or bed shared and I imagine and wanted to do this for a pretty long time. Nothing really beats snuggling with your baby. That first night I barely slept, but Nugget slept really well. From there we created our little bedtime routine. Every other night Nugget would get a bath, then we would swaddle him and read him stories till he fell asleep. We put him down at 8 o'clock every night and he was consistently waking up at 4 am to eat.

| How Nugs wakes up : ) |
I can easily relate to this post. The first night my baby girl slept soundly alone in her pack and play I was up all night. I just sat there and stared at her. She was so content and looked so peaceful. I always thought it was the baby that needed to sleep with me in bed and then I realized it was me who needed the baby to sleep. Even now I quickly grab her the second I feel her stirring and pull her into bed with me to snuggle and sleep. I don't care if it is a habit I'll have to break later because she's my baby and I want to enjoy every second of being with her.
