I remember this feeling. thought I was immortal at 5 hours. wait till you hit 6. game changer.

This is the most real post here. Forget the advice columns, just sleep and everything gets manageable.

Respect. That's the whole dad life right there - celebrating basic human needs like they're achievements. 5 hours is a MILE for a new parent.

replying to sleep question - took us till about 3-4 months to get consistent 5 hour blocks. everyone's different but hang in there, it's coming.

how old's the kid? asking because I'm about 2 months in and my best is 3.5 hours. genuinely curious when the corner gets turned.

Enjoy it while it lasts haha. Once they're older sleep gets weird for different reasons.

sleep is the real currency. everything else is secondary. congrats on being human again for 5 hours lol

Cheers mate, those 5 hours hit different. My kids finally slept through around 4 months and I genuinely felt reborn.
