SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE SLEEP DEPRIVED MUMS OUT THERE! It’s been over 6 months and my baby boy is sleeping worse then ever 😩! 5 cups of tea and 1 strong coffee later and I’ve still got seven hours before the husband comes home. My baby is busy on his play mat (just out of shot), so I thought I’d take the opportunity to get some shut eye. To think they said Baby’s sleeping would improve 😑💤 Dreaming of an 18hour nap!!!!! #sleepdeprivationatitsfinest #sleepdeprivedmommy #babywontsleep #6monthsold #momlife
