Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
Pretty sure nobody here used the word "superior" until just now. Just because I would choose to NOT use a nurse doesn't mean I feel superior to anyone.
Our kids will be just fine, even if we're a little sleep deprived

I know a lot of non-celeb moms who hire night nurses. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you can afford to get a good amount of sleep, why wouldn't you?
I completely agree with this!

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
To me the thing that is so bothersome is that she needs 8-10 hours of sleep to function in order to do what? Have someone do her hair, makeup, shopping, cooking, training and anything else that is time consuming? What does she really have to do? Having money to do is one thing, but we already know that this kid will be under the public eye and will be fabulous no matter what her mother does or does not do.

I have to be honest with you- when DD was a newborn and she NEVER EVER slept- day or night- I dreamed of a night nurse.
I said- if we had the money I would do it in a heartbeat.
Just for the nighttime.
Just so we could sleep.
Sleep deprevation is a horrible horrible thing- especially after just giving birth and dealing with PP hormones etc.
It nearly broke me.
I see nothing wrong with it considering how much money she has- I'd have done the same if I was as rich as her.
There is nothing wrong with getting some help if you can. Not sure why new moms are expected to be heros.
And I am the farthest thing from a Kim K fan that you can find!
Can't stand her!
I agree with you 100%. This is how I felt!
:like

I'm on baby number three... He's 7 weeks old and a decent sleeper but I still haven't slept more than 4 hours in a row in months. If I had the money if have help at night too!!

Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
In my opinion once you decide to have a baby...it's no longer about you!! To say that you are too tired at night to take care of YOUR baby is ridiculous. I haven't slept 8 hours in 16 years(since DD#1), but that's the path I chose. Those late night feedings are the best and I can't wait to experience them again in 2 months.

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
I dont have issue with it, i wouldnt do it, but if a baby was waking every 2 hrs, i could understand how that could make you crazy and tired, i could see needing help. but that isnt every baby. Im lucky both my boys have slept pretty decent stretches from the start so I at least would get 4 hours at a time. But im sure that wasnt a factor for Kim, she would have a baby nurse regardless of how long she slept im sure

Agree with you 100%...i dont know why everyone thinks your officially a good mom if your sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation is not fun nor enjoyable. It contributed to my continued post partum. It made me a wreck and didnt help with thr overwhelming feelings i had of not being cut out to be a mom. If i could have afforded a night nurse to help me 100% i would have.

Im sorry because you have a child it means you signed up to not sleep. I couldnt disagree with you more. I love my dd more than life itself but i love my sleep and i deserve to sleep and be well rested so i can be the best mommy possible. You cant be at your best without consistent sleep.
Waking up every 2 hours for 2 months straight destroyed me. I had post partum so bad i coukd barely function. You think that made me a great mom? Being a great mom does not mean you have to never sleep, never take time for yourself or allowed to make it about you sometimes.
Just because your a mom doesnt mean you stop being a wife a daughter a friend...
Amd im sad for you if you truly havent slept 8 hours in 16 years.

Exactly! SO much is written about celebs these days and just because "a source" says something doesn't make it true! Who knows. And I def agree, if I could have hired a nurse to help with overnights it would have saved my sanity for a few months!

Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
This isn't unusual. I know tons of women who have baby nurses or a live in nanny. A friend of mine is planning to do it when she has her child. Having said that , it isn't something I would want to do. I'd feel uncomfortable with a stranger comforting and attending to my child in the middle of the night. I think that is my job as the baby's mother. However , I have no judgement against anyone who does it.

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
I had a 24/7 nurse for a week and then she came at night for a few weeks. I had the same nurse with both my kids.
I guess I'm a bad mom who doesn't love my kids.

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
I don't see the big deal about a night nurse. The first 2 or 3 weeks after dd was born my DH was the night nurse, voluntarily doing most of the night feedings letting me sleep. I never ever felt that I missed out on bonding.
I actually think it might encourage bonding to have a happy rested mommy during the day.
I think Kim K is a tool but I wouldn't judge her on this.

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
I am no huge fan of Kim K and think she's an ass but I got news for you. I was sleep deprived during those first few months and I had a baby who slept quite well. Its tough to function on no sleep, there were times i woke up and had no idea what day it was things were just a blur. I cant imagine a colicky baby, a baby who didn't sleep, or otherwise. Its not for me, but I don't blame anyone for doing this if they can afford it and want to!!

Yeah how dare you even consider having kids if you weren't willing to get up 6 times a night with them 
It's amazing to me how nasty some people - other mothers even! - can get. Who the hell are you to say that anyone, Kim K, the person next door, shouldn't have a kid unless they are willing to give up sleep or freedom? So incredibly judgmental and ridiculous.
Plus, I'm willing to bet none of you run your own business, ever try doing that on 2 hours sleep?

Gosh, I wish...I got up with DS b/c I was nursing and he was not the baby that fell back asleep. I wish I had someone to entertain him at 3 am so I could go back to sleep.

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep
Listen, I totally understand the sentiment of this is what you signed up for when you decided to have children. Hell, I thought that too before I was pregnant. Then I went through it.
Just like so many other instances with motherhood, you can say these things pre-baby, but you just don't know what's going to happen until that baby is born.
But then again, before my DS I never had a reason to get woken up multiple times in the middle of the night, or rely on (2) 90 minute naps during the day. So I was blissfully unaware just how important sleep is to a human being.
I learned with very little sleep I have little to no patience, make foggy decisions, gained a lot of weight from my metabolism being all wonky, and was just a nasty, nasty bitchface to everyone. So yeah, if I had the money I would. And I can guarandamntee you I would have bonded quite nicely even if I had had help at night.
Everyone parents differently, everyone has different feelings on this situation. You can never argue another's feelings. With that said, can we please stop condemning one another for having different views on parenting?!?

I don't understand some posters who say "she has the money, so why not?!"
Does being rich (for doing nothing, btw) really mean that she is above having to take care of her kid every night?
Personally, I feel like when you choose to have a baby...you take the good with the bad. You take the long nights right along with the happy smiles.
At the end of the day...it's just gossip. Nobody here really knows what goes on behind her closed doors so I'm not going to judge her personally. I think it's just the IDEA of having someone care for your child EVERY night that has some people tweaked.
Well does being rich also mean you are above cleaning your house? Because I am sure all the celebs have housekeepers.
Does it mean you are above driving a Toyota and can opt for a Bentley?
The fact is, having money DOES afford you more luxuries that others don't have.
And to me, a night nurse is just that- a luxury.
It does not mean you love your child any less... it means you can afford help during the most difficult times. Waking up every 2 hours to a screaming baby does not make you a better mother IMO.
It made me a more stressed, frazzled mother.
But certainly not a better one.

In all honesty, this means everyone should be a mom by YOUR standard? KWIM?
I think every mother KNOWS that having a child means you sacrifice YOURself. Your time, your sleep, your patience. Every mom knows that there WILL be sleep deprivation and that it will be hard.
But to knock KK for doing what most moms WOULD do if they had the money?
Bethany Frankel had her live in Baby nurse/nanny for what, 1.5 years?
My cousin had a baby and the gift from HER parents was a 24 hour baby nurse for 10 days. Does that make my cousin any less of a mother because she wanted to rest right after pushing a baby out of her vagina? I hear that shit aint easy.
But in all seriousness, they one thing I hear over and over again is "Happy Mommy, happy baby". And I think every parent would say "If I could just get some sleep..."
So its unfair to judge KK for being wealthy enough to hire someoen to help. Just because you have not slept 8 hours in 16 years, does that mean another mom is less of a mom for getting more?
Its just very unfair.

Why is it ridiculous I've said it plenty of times to my DH which is why I would kick him up so he could take care of our LO. I signed up to be a parent but so did he. It ain't easy ebf and pumping. Girls gotta sleep to keep the peace
