Naptime for Mama too!

When I say mama, I am referring to the parent caregiver. It can be daddy or grandma or even cousin, so this may refer to you if you are taking care of a little one, even if it says Mama.

As parents of babies we tend to have interupted sleep during the night. In the beginning its feedings and diaper changes. It then becomes children running to your room to escape the monsters in their dreams or just to be near you during a thunderstorm. Maybe you wake up early to cook your family breakfast and start the day. Maybe you’re like me and are a wahm who stays up ’till 2am paying the bills. Sleep isn’t always a priority.

What you need to do is take a daytime nap. But baby or toddler or any little one down for his or her usual nap. Change into some comfy clothes and take a nap too! Believe me, you’ll feel so happy you did afterward. Your brain and body both get the rest they deserve and you can give back MORE to your family when you take care of yourself in the process.
