Sleeping Like A Baby
Isn't it amusing how when you ask someone how they slept they say I slept like a baby, indicating they had a great nights sleep. Yet we who actually have babies know that baby sleep isn't all that great. For a start these gorgeous little human beings wake or have to be woken every 3 or 4 hours for a feed when you first get them home. Those night feeds can really put a strain on poor old mum and dad who are battling from exhaustion and sleep deprivation. Then you eventually get to the stage where your little child sleeps through the entire night. It's magic after you have learned to relax and stop checking that everything is alright. Then just as you settle in whammo – they start teething and the sleepness are worse then ever.
