I used to do a full on Olympic routine at bedtime
rock
bounce
sway
pray
transfer like I was handling a live gr***de
45 minutes MINIMUM 🥵
and even after all that, I couldn’t relax and enjoy my night.
I was just sitting there like ok… how long do we have before we’re back here again?! And SPOILER ALEET I had like 90minutes max
because let’s be honest, bedtime wasn’t the problem. If it was, I could’ve probably just sucked up the 45-min time drain.
But even after all of that, I was still met with
the false start
the 10pm redo
the 1am ‘ are you kidding me’ wake up 🫣
so yeah… I could get her to sleep, I just couldn’t KEEP her asleep
Fast forward literally 3 days and she’s falling asleep in 10 minutes…
and I’m in the shower???!!
like a full, unrushed, no-one-is-crying,
I-don’t-have-to-listen-with-one-ear-out
shower
I wasn’t living life by the baby monitor
I wasn’t timing my life in 30-minute increments
I actually felt… off duty 🤯
which, if you’re in the thick of it right now,
sounds fake, I know
but that’s what happens when you stop making bedtime a performance
and actually fix what’s happening across the whole night 🙌
I didn’t stop being responsive, I just stopped being the entire sleep system in human form
So if you want your evenings back (and your arms, respectfully)
comment MOTHER and I’ll send you the mother of all plans that teaches exactly how we did it 👀
