Ironically, I had the easiest days when my son was a newborn. I had a difficult pregnancy and delivery and could not really breastfeed, so he was on formula from day 1. This was a hidden blessing, since it meant I could sleep 6 hours straight (10pm-4am) in the other room while my spouse took care of him and fed him formula whenever he woke up. Then, at 4am, we’d switch rooms: I took care of him while my husband was sleeping 6 hours uninterrupted from 4am-10am in the other room. So, shockingly, we both felt well-rested even in the first weeks. And even though he did wake up often to feed/pee/poop, the person responsible at that moment also had plenty of time to read, write, and listen to podcasts in the armchair next to his crib. I remember those days as a relaxing time. Of course, all this relaxation was only possible because we had no other kids. Things got harder later on, around 3 months, when he got colicky and we both had to be awake all night at the same time, frantically trying to calm him and ease his pain. Good luck, doc! The best years, I think, are when they are between 18 months and 3.5. Old enough to talk to you and reveal their fascinating reasoning and speech skills developing, but not old enough to have angry and teenager-like tantrums. Enjoy it!

For my husband and I, what really helped was setting the 7am deadline. After I was up overnight with our daughter, I knew for sure I could hand her to him and go to sleep at 7am when he was up and get 3-5 hours of straight sleep. And even though that's not much, if I got 3-5 hours of sleep in chunks overnight, I could still get 8 hours on average every day. So by noon I was functional. It also helped mentally to know there was a deadline.

Sweet video. Babies ARE cuter : ) I nursed my daughter - which meant that when she was tiny, I did 90% of the nighttime care - which worked great, since I was a stay at home mom, and my husband was working long day shifts to support us. And, on days he was home, he'd let me sleep late while he took care of her. And at nights when he needed to turn in early, I was happy to sit up late with her. Having a TEAM with a newborn makes all the difference. My Mom had it much harder, since she was widowed when I was a newborn - the older I get, the more I appreciate all she did!

Both of my kids were getting us each 7 hour nights of sleep only a few weeks into their lives. Yes 7 weeks old for my older daughter and 4 weeks for my younger. The trick was taking shifts. I’m a “ night owl” and my husband has a long commute so he has an early morning. He’d go to bed at 8/8:30 and I’d do the 11:30 feeding, then head to bed. He’d do a bottle feeding around 2:30 (6 hours of sleep for him) then he’d come sleep an extra hour before getting ready for work.My husband would do another small feeding at 4:30/5:00 and that would get me to 6:30/7. It worked for us and that schedule relaxed further as baby grew and tummy volume increased so sleep stretches increased. By 10-12 weeks, we were able to drop the 2:30 feed because baby would go to 4. You’ll figure it out, but then baby will grow and be in an entirely different schedule and phase.

Not only is there a near vertical learning curve of care for your child, worry about making an error, fear over immediate and long term outcomes, a chaotic noisy environment, crushing worry, constant sleep deprivation, poor diet, extreme stress, no respite... there's heartbreak, trying to juggle the demands of others, and (for Americans) catastrophic cost. And if you're a single parent, or trying to work at the same time... It's horrific. Best wishes on your newborn, take lots of video, they are so precious and rare when brand new.

With that very thoughtful, fast, exhausted commentary, I want to thank you for allowing me to make the decision that I would like to be an on-call ICU doctor for 2 to 3 weeks straight rather than have a child. ;-). (Congratulations 🎈 to you and your wife!)

How is your wife doing? For us, The sleep deprivation came later as our first baby would never, ever sleep longer than a 4 hour stretch until she was 2. Then the second baby came and he never slept it felt like AT ALL. The youngest is 4 and now we sleep 🥳 at least until 6 am on our days off! It does get better and it’s all worth it. Now sometimes I think fondly on those early sleep deprived days when I would just stare at their sweet baby faces.

Friend, wait until it's 12:30 am, she's 17 and refuses to answer her phone. And she's supposed to be home by 11 pm. You will NEVER get normal sleep ever again. Babies are the easy sleepless night. Teens really amp to it 10^1000000000. Good luck! 👶💕

The baby is harder because you’re right there is no shift end time or days off from it, ever. Mine are 10, 8 and 2 now and all sleep through the night, you’ll get there too one day. And now I’m a medical student, must be crazy! I have been a nurse for 13 years and done night shifts then gone home to look after kids all day so I’m very familiar with sleep deprivation. Nothing beats the newborn weeks for sheer exhaustion.
