Second Night Syndrome

Ever heard of the second night syndrome? 🌙

For many babies, this night can be more challenging than the first. They start to wake up and realize they’re no longer in the comfort of their mama’s womb. Everything is loud, bright, and cold.

Your baby may cry more on this night. And it may seem like all they want is to be on the breast. This is totally normal and it will get better!

I find mentally preparing myself for this night and setting myself up for success helps so much with my expectations and the exhaustion I know I might experience.
