    A New Definition for "All Nighter": 7 Things I've Learned About Sleep Since Becoming a Mom

    Before I was a mom my daydreams were about traveling to far off places and going on non-stop adventures. After becoming a mom, my daydreams are about sleep… in my own bed… without anyone bothering me for an entire 8 hours. Sleep is elusive when you're a parent. A full night of uninterrupted sleep is unheard of, at least in the beginning. I promise it'll happen one day. But in the meantime, here are 7 things I've learned about sleep (and the lack of it!) in my journey as a parent thus far. - By Lauren Hartmann

      Don't fall prey to comparisons It can be hard to swallow when you're feeling completely replete of sleep and one of your friends posts on Facebook or Twitter about how their baby just slept through the night, but don't let it get you down. All babies are different and that is a beautiful thing. Who cares if your baby doesn't sleep as well as your friend's - your little one is probably better at other things!
