So, in dealing with the night feedings of this new life…
It occurs to me that everyone has to go through this and pretty much everyone does.
HOW?
I think maybe i got a piece of the puzzle. I realized that I leap out of bed at the slightest little sound she makes at any point in the night and run to go take care of her.
But i think what happens is parents toughen up. That instead of sleep being this precarious thing that shatters with a breath, I could learn to relax an STAY IN BED until she really needs me. If i could do that, maybe it would be a workable situation…
