Ah, the holidays — a season of family gatherings, festive traditions, and so much joy. It truly is my favorite time of year! But let’s be honest: for many parents, it can also be a lot. Balancing late-night festivities, travel plans, and houseguests while running on fumes? That’s enough to make anyone feel like they need a permanent nap.
You’ve done everything “right.” The bedtime routine is calm, your baby goes down peacefully... and just when you think you might get a break—bam! Baby is crying 45 minutes later like it’s morning already.
