New mom Hilary Duff has revealed that she struggled with fatigue after giving birth because of the loss of sleep that comes with a newborn. She admits that it took her a little while to figure out a routine that works for her and her new son Luca, but has since discovered a balance that has made things easier for her:
“The first week I was like, ‘I’m doing this, I’m good. I can not sleep, I can do this.’ I don’t know where you get that energy from. Then it hits you – the fatigue. So many people were like, ‘Take naps when your baby naps. So I tried and it really helped a lot. I thought when he was napping that was the time I could do all the things I needed to do. It’s a fine balance.”
After the first few weeks of sleepless nights, Hilary has successfully managed to set a routine so she can get as much sleep as possible. She now praises her new son for being a good baby:
“He’s really a good baby, I promise. He sleeps really well and he’s on a good schedule. He sleeps a good five and six hours a night, which is just amazing. I am so grateful.”
