If I manage to steal a nap that day, I'm exhausted by 9pm. If Little N had woken up more than 2 times the night before, I'm exhausted by evening time, as early as 6pm.
Many advise that new mummies should always nap when the baby is napping. It's really easier said than done, you know. When Little N is napping, I need to shower, do the laundry, eat my breakfast or lunch, clean her room... By the time I finish some of these things and settle down to rest, she's up from her nap.
Strangely though, I find myself re-energized for the day when Little N is taking her first morning nap, after my morning shower. It's like there is a reset button somewhere that helps me feel energized for the day after the shower... until 6pm, or 8pm or 9pm...
Recently she has been napping pretty well, especially in the mornings, so I can afford to take time to reset in the morning to prepare for the day ahead.
Have a happy morning!
Brunch at Bishan Park - it was the first time we brought Little N with us for brunch.
The cafe was extremely noisy but amazingly, she slept through our meal
Maybe she needs noise to sleep. Noise tires babies and put them to sleep. Little Boy used to fall asleep if there was an excess of indistinct background noise.
