La notte di una mamma in timelapse: ecco cosa succede quando si hanno dei figli

Alzi la mano chi di voi mamme non si riconosce in questo video. «La genitorialità non finisce quando il sole tramonta. Bisogna essere genitori anche di notte».  Inizia così il post pubblicato su Instagram da Melanie Darnell, mamma di tre bambini che vive a Los Angeles. Fitness blogger e youtuber, ha condiviso il video di una notte trascorsa senza suo marito, insieme ai suoi bambini che non riuscivano a dormire.

«La sveglia alle 4 del mattino è particolarmente atroce, ma con la vista ancora annebbiata ci alziamo e andiamo a prendere i nostri bambini - scrive - Non sentitevi sole in quei momenti. Non sentitevi stanche e isolate. Pensate a tutti gli altri genitori e altre mamme che esattamente come voi stanno facendo la stessa cosa, nel silenzio della notte. Non importa che ora sia. Coccolate e amate i vostri bambini. Quelli che oggi stringete fra le vostre braccia un giorno terrano tra le loro braccia altri bimbi».


 

 

Parenting doesn’t end when the sun goes down. 🌙 I want to parent at night the same way I parent during the day. You have two nighttime parenting goals (1) get sufficient rest yourself and (2) meet the nutritional and emotional needs of your child. It’s a tough balance. Realizing that the last sweet hours of restful darkness are almost over. The 4am wake-up call is especially excruciating. Still, we haul ourselves out of bed, and with bleary eyes pull our babies in close . In those quiet, dark hours, the lack of distraction can actually quite calming and refreshing. Baby’s needs tend to be simple: to be held and fed 🤱🏻. Mothers are experts at both of those things, and the ability to so completely meet the needs of our amazing baby is profoundly satisfying. During these moments let’s think of all of the other parents that are up with their babies at the very same middle-of-the night moment and take comfort in the thought of each of us cradling our babies in the dark of our homes, together in shared experience. Rather than feeling isolated and exhausted, we can feel connected to the other tired mothers that are also awake #momsunited. . So, to all of the tired mothers out there, breathe in and breathe out. These days are intense but short lived. Both you and baby will be sleeping more soundly before long. For now, cuddle your babies, nurse them and love them no matter what time the clock says. The baby you rock tonight someday may have the opportunity to be gazing at the stars while holding a sweet baby of her own. She will be thinking of, and appreciating, you ❤️. .
