My midwife actually told me that when I'm up moving I rock my baby to sleep so at night my baby is more active she said that alot of her patients go to night shift so that their babies are on a regular schedule sleep at night awake during the day I dunno if its true tho lol

I worked 8pm-4am! I requested that shift and It was actually easier than having to wake up early because after sleepless nights its really hard to get up!
