As a father of a 3 week old and a paramedic of 10 years, “The difference is that the baby is cute” is the truest set of words ever. If my 3am call is for a stubbed toe, prepare to die. If it’s for my screaming 3 week old it’s all cuddles and feeding.

The pacing of Dr Schmidt's speech made me feel his descent into sleep-deprived madness inside my own body. They eventually sleep through the night, but you will never not be listening for them. And you just deal with unpredictable crises during the day. Unless they get sick, then you're cleaning projectile vomit off the walls at midnight.

LOL sorry dad... I have horrible reflux, even as an adult and a cruddy immune system. My dad had to clean up vomit in the middle of the night many a times growing up. My brother I think threw up more than me... but he always made it to the toilet... that was a "skill" I lacked. My parents learned if I was sick to put a bucket next to my bed, it helped to lessen incidents.

The listening for them the rest of your life is true for my mum. Once, after I had moved out, I was visiting for some days. In the middle of the night I felt sick and barely made it to the toilet before vomiting. Before I was finished my mum stood in the door with a glass of water ❤️ Granted, the bathroom is right next to my parents' bedroom, but still!

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!

When I brought my 3rd child home from the hospital I sat in bed and looked at her sleeping peacefully knowing full well I would be up feeding her within a couple of hours. I let the recognition that I wasn’t going to have a solid night of sleep for a long time sweep over me. Then I thought about how cute my sweet baby was and got comfy for my two hours of sleep. (And I still decided to have one more after that!). Teenagers are tough, but they do sleep really well!’ Congrats Doc Schmidt! The sleepless (baby related) nights won’t last forever. They’ll just seem like 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.

Congratulations! I have four girls & I remember those days well. It’s ok to let her fuss for a few minutes, she‘lol slowly learn to soothe herself back to sleep. I always found it hard to sleep when the baby napped but if she fell asleep while nursing, I was out like a light. The first months are rough, but it gets easier. You’ll find a routine that works for you. Also, you’re not obligated to take advice from strangers about it, either. Try it, perhaps, but if it doesn’t work, try something different.

Baby is harder! I’m a veterinarian that shares call and works at a busy practice. I felt that internship made me proficient at being very sleep deprived… waking every 2hrs to nurse baby and try to stay awake was harder. Also, baby woke up every 2-4hrs for the first 3-4mo of life and I was back to work full time at 7wks post partum. If I get a call about a patient, typically the nature of the problem would wake me up. Congrats on the new baby!!

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!

Probably the hardest is combining the two... having a fragile preemie/baby/child who is also hospitalized, especially in NICU/PICU for a long time. 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.

Being on call is cancer... The most I worked in 1 swoop was roughly 40 hours. Started Sunday morning and left monday night. I have struggled and changed my residency due to those work hours. It's horrible for the body. Felt so sick for the most of it, switched from a flu to another flu. Had arrythmias, trouble falling asleep after 30+ work hours, sounds impossible but there I was... In the western world 5 PM to 7 AM seems a lot more humane than what befell me. Thanks for the the vids!

Not at all! Most of us in the health care field feel the exact same way. Unfortunately, we (especially those of us still in residency / Fellowship) have little to no control over the hours that we work, putting ourselves and potentially our patients at risk. And unfortunately these concerns have been brought up time and time again without any change(likely due to hospitals bottom-line/ attempts to save money by having fewer Personnel work longer hours) and we can only hope that there will be real change with the push of the public as well

When your daughter is ready for it I recommend the Owlet sleep training program. I’m a nurse that works night shift, and at about 3 month my daughter would sleep but not with a schedule. We used Owlet’s program and the first day she took 3 naps and slept 12 hours through the night, and she would rarely wake up overnight. She’s almost 2 now and still sleeps like a champ. It certainly saved my sanity. Good luck dad!

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.

Important question: how is Ms. Doc Schmidt doing? She’s dealing with the sleep deprivation after having grown an entire person and then expelled said entire person, plus all the associated hormones and healing and bodily fluids that come from that. Please let her know someone asked about her, too ❤️

Also, when Baby Doc Schmidt is about 4/5 months old, look for a Sleep Consultant. Mine saved my sanity as a new mom of twins with a military husband who was always gone.

That is so true!! When the baby fusses, everyone will quickly hand the baby back to you (even grandma, that old stalwart), and you will be expected to act like you know what you are doing. You won't. But it doesn't matter. At that stage, there are only three choices: Feed her, change her diaper, give her lots of hugs and kisses. That's it. The fun stuff (butter knives in the electrical sockets, poisonous chemicals under the kitchen sink, matches, drugs, boys, sex, gangs, cliques, school bullies) won't start for at least a few years. You've got time to bone up and study before the hard stuff begins. In the mean time, your choices are simple: Change the diaper, pop a bottle in that little mouth, and rock and sing and snuggle and kiss. That's it. Not so difficult. Just love your baby with all your heart and mind and strength. And remember, you will not be the perfect parent. Your baby will turn out to be incredible in spite of you. Just love her, and she will forgive all of your inevitalble ineptitude. As she grows, your baby will humble you with her magnificence and wonderfulness, and you will marvel how she ever turned out so amazing. She certainly didn't inherit it from you. Enjoy.

Hi Dr. Schmit ,Yes night shift is hard . My late husband did three shifts. Afternoon,nights plus days.Your schedule is very stressful Congratulations to you and your wife on birth of your daughter. Well best to employ a nanny maybe to help out.It is a rewarding time bringing up your daughter. Planning and having to be organised. Can anyone close like your parents from time to time hep a little if possible. I perfectly understand the duress your wife plus yourself are under.I worked as a nanny for a few doctors some years back. Interesting to say the least. All of you do a lot. Wishing you and your family many blessings. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.That word was help ,missed the L out by mistake.

My son is 17 and I still can't sleep as deeply as I did before I had him. Your brain always listens out for them just in case.

Congrats on your baby, enjoy the experience while you have only one, and haven't have to juggle with a toddler who needs a potty NOW while you are feeding, or your child has wet the bed and needs comforting at the same time your baby is screaming it's head off because it is teething. My worst nightmare was when all my three very young children had a stomach bug and I had to keep changing their vomit-laden sheets. Normally not a problem, but I had the same bug and spent most of the night my head in the toilet bowl. Adding insult to injury, my youngest one was very angry about it and announced that I wasn't allowed to be sick! (You know, because parents must be infallible in order to keep kids safe and all that.) Oh, the joys of being a single parent with no help from relatives! Things were not much better when I had a 16-year old living with me when I was studying. She was a foreigner without any knowledge of the local language, bored but not wanting to go out or talk to anyone even though practically everyone could speak hers. So I could only study during the night while everyone was asleep! I was so tired near the exam time I would cry for no reason!

And….then one night the baby will sleep for an amazing 5-6 hours and you’ll wake up with a jolt, thinking that they must be dead and you run to the crib and just stare at their awesomeness while they sleep. Parenting is a roller coaster. Good thing I love roller coasters.
