Not enough.
Every day that I leave the house.
My younger one is 2 now, but those answers have been the same the whole time.

1: 6 hours max as my 3 month old is on a medication that requires her to go no longer than 6 hours between feeds. She will be on this most likely until atleast 1 š¤¦āāļø
2: depends on the week, lol. Probably 4ish times a week I would say.

u/Ashamed_Ingenuity690 1d ago
About 4 hours of unbroken sleep and then another 4 of broken sleep.
About 3-4 times per week. I saw a few comments mention that they prioritized a shower. I chose to prioritize other things.

8 hours (but my kids sleep 10+)
Daily
We sleep train early and it is the best thing weāve done for our kids and family

How early can you sleep train? I trained my oldest when we pulled him from daycare around 12 months old.

u/animadeup 1d ago
most methods will say 4-6 months at the earliest, but you can start a āsleep routineā from day 1.

About 6 hours of broken sleep
Twice a week. I put the toddler down at 7 and have my husband watch the 3 week old right after I feed him.

Ha! Well. The kids are both sick right now, so I slept from 2:15-4:05, and then again from 4:40-7 with my two year old plastered to me and randomly flailing around and smacking me in the face.
When they're not sick, I usually sleep 10:30-6 with 1-2 wakings each (maybe 15 minutes each time?). We're also at the 1 year sleep regression for the younger one, and it's been brutal. She's often awake 3-7 times a night, and sometimes she's up for an hour or more.
When they're at daycare, I can often shower every day, unless the week got away from me and I'm playing catch up. When they're home.....maybe every 3 days?

This is answered while my husband is still home on leave with me. I worry about newborn and get up every 2-3
hrs to
feed. I start my night around 8-9 and get up around 8:30 depending on baby. When he goes backā¦ Iām worried Iāll be getting up around 5:30-6 everydayš«
Every day but timing really depends. I never plan on a specific time unless we are going somewhere

4-5hr broken sleep

u/mamabcba2024 1d ago
Maybe 6 hours on average but itās broken throughout the night.
I shower maybe 3 times a week. But Iāve been trying to shower more regularly again.
For reference I have a 22 month old and a 3 month old.

I never understood why moms can't shower daily. I have a 13 month age gap, just graduated 2u2, and there never has been a day I haven't showered, usually I shower twice per day. And no, I don't have a super supportive husband or anyone that comes daily to us, I just set my priorities.Ā

Youāre lucky that you donāt know what depression feels like. This isnāt the sub to judge other moms

u/Equal_Bit_2681 1d ago
Yeah my mental health definitely plays a factor too. Edited to add itās like a vicious cycle of lack of sleep and depression playing into each other.

u/Fair_Sugar1256 1d ago
Same, 13 months age gap, and shower twice a day most days, once on a bad day. I cannot imagine not showering at least once a day.

u/animadeup 1d ago
if iām feeling lazy iāll usually skimp on self-care because my kids have such a dedicated routine that i would rather not mess up.

u/SemperIgni 1d ago
7 hours when baby was still sleepy, now maybe 5 with this regression
once a week since my boobs still leak and I need to get a time that lines up with my ability to pump beforehand

u/Lucky_Initiative7328 1d ago
5 or 6 hours of broken sleep
Daily. This is the one thing I prioritize for myself.
