While Baby Naps 💤

I’ve seen some other mamas post similar things and it’s so encouraging so I thought I’d give it a go! For some reason I’m able to get more done when someone is expecting me to get things done so this is keeping me accountable. 🥳

Baby is still sleeping as I’m typing this out so hopefully I’ll be able to get a decent nap in myself 😂💤

Till next time! Have an amazing day yall!! 🫶🏻

... Read moreBaby nap time can often feel like a fleeting moment, yet it's a prime opportunity for busy parents to catch up on chores or even indulge in some much-needed rest. Moms frequently find themselves torn between wanting to get things done and needing a break. Thankfully, the community surrounding motherhood shares plenty of advice on how to balance both. When your little one drifts into dreamland, consider creating a short to-do list to help keep you on track with tasks such as folding laundry or tidying up communal spaces. This accountability can transform a normally chaotic time into a productive one. In addition to completing chores, taking care of yourself should also be a priority during these naps. Use this time to meditate, read a book, or simply enjoy a warm cup of tea — it can recharge your energy and provide mental clarity. Don’t forget to enjoy this quiet time; you don't always have to be productive! Embrace the simplicity of relaxation, allowing yourself to drift into a light nap if your baby sleeps for an extended period. It’s the perfect moment for a small self-care routine, incorporating skincare or journaling. When baby wakes, you’ll be rejuvenated and ready to tackle the rest of the day together! Connect with fellow moms online about your experiences with naptime productivity and share your favorite tips. After all, we’re all navigating this journey together! Check out hashtags like #naptime, #momlife, and #cleaningmotivation for more inspiration.

The image features the title "Newborn naps 101" in large blue and black text, overlaid on a blurred background of a baby sleeping peacefully. The Lemon8 logo and creator handle are at the bottom.
This image displays a chart of newborn wake windows: 1 month (30-60 min), 2 months (45-75 min), 3 months (60-90 min), and 4 months (75-120 min). It emphasizes that every baby is different and to follow wake windows, not strict schedules.
The image explains that "Routines are a Game changer," differentiating routines (specific order, not clock-dictated) from schedules (clock-bound). It highlights routines as social cues that teach babies sleep is coming, requiring consistent development.

✨Don’t Do This One Thing While Baby Naps🫶
Mom burn out is so real! I myself have tried to do too much and have dealt with mom burn out four times in the last year 😭 Mom burn out feels like extreme exhaustion, almost like the flu, when you don’t let your body rest! You need rest so DON’T clean while your baby naps. Relax or do something

Ohhh sleep…my favorite activity to do since having babies. Miss you girl, I’ll see you again some day soon 😂 Getting out of the newborn sleeping phase was so relieving. I did get some of my energy back which allowed me to do more chores and other household things I had been falling behind on.

how to ✨actually feel recharged✨ (without naps)
feeling energized isn’t always about having enough sleep, but about having enough *rest* (which isn’t the same thing!) you can feel recharged all the time if you keep up with the different types of rest your body, heart, and soul need 💗 💌 save for later! & follow for more daily posts :)

Trying to get things done while my newborn naps✨
You know that saying "sleep when the baby sleeps"? Well, easier said than done. With a newborn, you're feeding every 2-3 hours for roughly 30 minutes and sometimes you have a fussy baby. That means by the time baby gets down for their nap, you may only have an hour before it's time

We Don’t Do Contact Naps and That’s Okay 👌🏽
We don’t do contact naps with our child. ✨ Not because I don’t love the snuggles, but because my baby sleeps better in their own space—and so do I. 💤 Contact naps work for some families, but they don’t work for ours. And that doesn’t make me less of a loving mom. It makes me a mom who knows w

How much can I get done while my daughter naps?
There’s a special kind of hustle that hits the moment your toddler finally closes their eyes. Today’s nap routine turned into a race: • livingroom reset • kitchen table reset • toy pick-up …until the inevitable happened, I became nap trapped by my 18-month-old 😅🤍 Sharing this for every mama

My baby was a barnacle baby to the max! I could hardly put him now as a newborn and I held him for every nap until he was around 9 months old. Which now looking back, is still pretty young! But it felt like a long time at the time. We also bed shared so he was in bed with us every night! This
