[quote=Anonymous]Mine were both pretty good sleepers. The first 2 weeks I was up every 2-3 hours and probably got a cumulative 4-5 hours, and felt pretty zombie-like. But after that it improved quickly - by 4 weeks I was getting at least one 4-hr stretch and 6 weeks I got 5-7 hours, plus another 1-2hrs after waking up and feeding, so cumulatively, close to a normal amount. At that point, I was more tired than normal due to the sleep interruptions but I felt basically fine. I did have a Snoo. Agree that "sleep when the baby sleeps" only really works if you have a good napper, no other young children, and someone to help with other tasks (laundry, dishes, etc) that you can't do while holding a baby. The line I often see is "sleep when the baby sleeps, shower when the baby showers, do dishes when the baby does dishes, etc."[/quote]
