So my sister is having a baby soon (with a toddler already running around) and I'm always so in awe Pray of just how little sleep new parents get.

So I was wondering... Just how little sleep have you survived on?

Can't wait to see your answers!

This is such a good question. I can remember moving through a thick black fog at times when I was breastfeeding, never getting more than three hours of sleep in a row. And I was still working too, albeit from home. How did I do it?

I remember the thick black fog too clearly. Have only just emerged from it. My son decided to sleep two months ago. Before that it was 18 months of fog.

wow !! Imagine having a baby 9 years later and you've been so, so sssssssssssoooooooooooo in one helluva comfort zone..... My 9 year old never got ill during the night and sleepless nights was a distant memory. THEN !!! A NEW BORN ARRIVES.............. Breastfeeds, poop !! Shoo, it's exhausting !!!!

But, we survive don't we - our bodies are designed for this stuff !!!

My Mom had a similar thing with me. My brother was 13 and my sister 10 when I was born so I'm sure they were little out of practice! Hahaha
