Dear Sleep, We Miss You – Love, Every Parent of a Baby Ever
Dear Sleep, We remember you. You used to be our favorite part of the day. We stretched out under soft covers, hit snooze without guilt, and stayed in bed on lazy Sundays. You were always there when we needed you — for power naps, Netflix binges that ended in dozing off, and peaceful nights full of dreams.
Then, we became parents. Now, our relationship with you? It’s complicated. Some nights, we get just enough of you to remember what we’re missing. Other nights, you ghost us completely. And most nights, we’re just negotiating terms — pleading for one more hour before the next wake-up call.
The Sleepless Parent’s Journey
There’s nothing quite like the love you feel when your baby looks at you for the first time — or the love-hate relationship you develop with your alarm clock (that now sounds suspiciously like a crying baby).
Becoming a parent is beautiful. It’s fulfilling, life-changing, heart-melting. But let’s be honest — it’s also exhausting.
Here’s how the early stages usually go:
- Newborn Nights: “Should I lie down or wash the bottles? Wait… did I already wash the bottles?”
- Middle-of-the-Night Feeds: “It’s 3 a.m., and I just sang Twinkle Twinkle for the sixth time. Is that a world record?”
- Early-Morning Wakeups: “It’s 5:30 a.m. My baby’s smiling, which is adorable… but also slightly cruel.”
What We’d Say to Sleep (If It Could Hear Us)
Sometimes we imagine what it would be like to sit across from Sleep and have a heart-to-heart. If we could, we’d say:
Dear Sleep,
We think about you all the time. We dream of dreaming. We miss staying in bed with you on weekends, cuddling up in peace. But right now, we’re in a different chapter. Our baby needs us more than ever, so you must wait. Please be patient — we promise we’ll be back, and when we are, it’ll be the most glorious reunion.
With love,
Every parent who has ever rocked a baby to sleep while half-asleep themselves
Why Comfort Is Key (for Your Baby and You)
While we can’t promise a full eight hours (we wish we could!), there’s one thing we can help with — making bedtime more comfortable for your little one.
At Little West Street, we believe that good sleep starts with good comfort. That’s why our kids' pajamas are crafted from the softest, most breathable fabrics — designed for restful nights and cozy cuddles. When your baby feels safe, snug, and comfortable, bedtime becomes a little easier — and that can make all the difference.
Our collection of kids’ sleepwear is designed with:
- 100% cotton that’s gentle on sensitive skin
- Highest quality fabrics that keep your little ones comfortable
- Adorable designs that make bedtime fun
- Tagless, irritation-free finishes for uninterrupted slumber
Sleep might be out of your hands for now, but comfort isn’t. Dressing your child in high-quality pajamas is one small way to take control in a world of unpredictable nap schedules.
The Magic of Pajamas (Yes, Really)
We know what you’re thinking — do pajamas make a difference? The short answer: Absolutely.
Babies and toddlers respond to routines. Over time, putting on their favorite jammies becomes a cue that it’s time to wind down. Pajamas signal sleep — they’re like a bedtime lullaby in clothing form.
When your child is tucked into soft pajamas from Little West Street, their body associates that feeling with calm and rest. It’s not a magic wand (sorry!), but it’s a powerful piece of the puzzle.
And for parents? Knowing your little one is sleeping in high-quality, non-toxic, lovingly designed sleep wear gives you peace of mind — and that’s pretty priceless.
