Full sleep
We know that after the birth of a child you have little sleep. Children mostly wake up at night and sleep a lot during the day. In such a situation, as soon as their child falls asleep, they begin to do their household chores and also stay awake at night in child care. We recommend that you sleep with the child whenever the time is available. Also, share some responsibility of seeing the child at night with your husband or any other member of the household, so that you can get time to sleep and you can complete your sleep.
