a general qn, how often does a mom sleeps when the baby sleeps (3mths)? do you actually stay awakes after the baby sleeps just to perform the regular stuff (surf net/browse thru fb/watch tv) to "re-claim" some me time, esp after the night feed at 9-10pm & knowing ur LO doesn't sleep thru the night? my hubby n mil are nagging me to sleep more, esp I am going back to work in 2wks.. sure I am tired, but I want to feel that I haven't lost myself (before-baby) in the whole new parenthood thingy..

I reckon you ought to listen to your husband and get some sleep in there admist the me-time you mentioned. You will definitely miss the sleep when you go back to work and juggle both job and family life. Even if you don't want to sleep long hours, get in some short naps in between just to reclaim your energy and relax your mind. You won't lose your old life by getting some sleep -- just need to plan your days better to include your activities, work, baby care and the much needed sleep.
