Celebrity newbie moms discover what sleepless nights really mean

Celebrity newbie moms discover what sleepless nights really mean

"Puyat, dirty nappies, random hours, feeding, burping, sore and hard boobies, sugat nippies all while still recovering from delivery...but... Pure LOVE..."

Ask any mom what the most challenging part of taking care of a new-born baby is, and chances are, you will get the same answer–sleeplessness!

Except for a blessed few, most moms, who have just given birth, will experience indescribable exhaustion. After the physical toll giving birth takes on one’s body, there’s hardly any time to recover as one now takes on the care of a newborn infant.

There’s the constant nappy changing, breastfeeding on demand, or washing and sterilization of feeding bottles, the incessant lullabies and rocking movements to help the baby sleep, the baby’s nighttime wailing, and physical discomfort from birthing wounds that take time to heal.

And it’s no different for celebrity moms. These celebrity first-time moms are quickly discovering that sleeplessness comes with the territory!

Iya Villania

TV host Iya Villania discovers how selfless she can be on the first night her baby spent at home.

Totoo yung chismis… Walang masyadong tulog once you give birth ???? but then you discover how selfless you can actually be ???? Sleep isn’t as important as attending to him ❤️ I love this little boy so much!!! Seems like he enjoyed his first night home! ????❤️ #PrimosHome

Despite the random hours, dirty nappies, and sore breasts, Iya has nothing but pure love for this “little boss”.

Puyat, dirty nappies, random hours, feeding, burping, sore and hard boobies, sugat nippies all while still recovering from delivery ???? but… Pure LOVE ❤️ I’m still so amazed with what my body just went thru! ???? and amazed at how this little lumpia can just have so much control over me ???? He’s the boss!!! ❤️ Got so much to be grateful for ????????
