A sleepless night with a new sibling

Late-night lullabies and cuddles give way to a baby wide awake at 3 a.m., turning the household’s attempt to get some rest into a comic family predicament. The story centers on the disruption and absurdity a new baby can bring to bedtime, with an older sibling’s perspective part of its family setting. Its focus on shared exhaustion and the adjustment to a new arrival gives the bedtime chaos a recognizable frame for families welcoming a baby.

Book overview

Big brothers or sisters who have a noisy new baby in the house will feel seen in this hilarious new book about the uncanny ability of babies to stay awake FOREVER--written by a mom who's been there.

They tried lullabies, they tried cuddles, they tried soothing words. But now it's 3 a.m. and the baby has achieved a new level of consciousness. Throwing binkies, climbing the crib . . . Is this baby going to stay awake forever?!? (Even the neighbor would like to know.)

Parents and siblings of new babies will share some BIG laughs together as they follow a VERY tired family trying to get just a few minutes of rest while their precious one jumps, pounds, yells, and even throws a 1 a.m. dance party.

It's the perfect baby shower gift for soon-to-be-big-siblings and their parents as they prepare for the new arrival.
