Kim K. Needs Her Sleep

New mommy Kim Kardashian is sleeping like a baby. Well, you would too if you hired a night nurse to take care of your newborn in the middle of the night.

According to sources, Kim pumps before bed and if "Nori" needs to be fed, changed or even consoled it's in the hands of the night nurse, who sleeps in the nursery with North.

Why doesnt she just do it all herself? A close family friend was quoted by stating "Kim is treasuring the time of being a new mom and wants to enjoy it as much as possible without being sleep deprived. Sleep is very very important to Kim, without 8 to 10 hours, she just can't function"

Welcome to motherhood!

I can't with her. Really????

Part of being a mommy, is losing your sleep.

She needs 8-10 hours to function...get real, Kim..grow up already.

I know a lot of non-celeb moms who hire night nurses. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you can afford to get a good amount of sleep, why wouldn't you?

Clearly she's NOT treasuring being a new mom, but her nanny is.

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep

I cherished night feedings because I got to be alone with DD and bond just the two of us. Sure I was a zombie for 3 months but I wouldn't want someone else to have that experience for me.

But whatever, to each their own I guess...

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep

I have to be honest with you- when DD was a newborn and she NEVER EVER slept- day or night- I dreamed of a night nurse.
I said- if we had the money I would do it in a heartbeat.
Just for the nighttime.
Just so we could sleep.
Sleep deprevation is a horrible horrible thing- especially after just giving birth and dealing with PP hormones etc.
It nearly broke me.

I see nothing wrong with it considering how much money she has- I'd have done the same if I was as rich as her.
There is nothing wrong with getting some help if you can. Not sure why new moms are expected to be heros.

And I am the farthest thing from a Kim K fan that you can find!
Can't stand her!

Re: Kim K. Needs Her Sleep

I can understand if it was a few nights a week, but not every single night. Like a PP wrote, I feel like it creates a bond with your child. Its time for just the two of you.

To say that you can't function without 8-10 hours of sleep when you've just had a baby...seems absurd.

This. I have many friends who hired night nurses. I personally didn't but I don't see anything wrong with it. My friends who did are no less bonded with their children than anyone else.

Oh please! Some one stop the presses Kim K is the FIRST PERSON EVER ON THE PLANET to hire a night nurse.

Gimme a break...this is just ridiculous bashing. There are plenty of peopel who hire night nurses to help out with a newborn. If I could afford I would 100% do it. There is NOTHING like getting a full nights rest when you have children.

Exactly. Perhaps you shouldn't have had a kid then! And I'm not knocking her for getting help, but c'mon the kid is 2 weeks old and already you can't be bothered to get up and feed her at night?

The other thing is- you are all people who have to do other things in your lives... like cook, clean, go grocery shopping, etc. Kim doesn't do ANY of this stuff, so IMO, the least she could do is get up and feed the kid she brought into the world.

Bottom line, you ladies all deserve night nannies a thousand times more than Kim Kardashian does.

Do you have children?

Do you know how bad sleep deprivation hits when you have a newborn - especailly with a child who doesn't sleep? Function? You can't even think straigt.

It's bad and its rough and I can bet you that if most mothers could afford a night nurse they would do. Especially if they've already gone through it once.

Agreed, this is more of what I was thinking. The ladies on here with children have other responsibilities and of COURSE you would love to have someone to help you out with that. I dont blame you.

Thank you!
I love the judgement.
And I didn't NEED 8-10 hours of sleep. But I could have used more than 2 hours.
My DD was up every 2 hours... no joke.
For MONTHS.
And my DH worked nights- so I was alone most nights.
And as far as bonding- please.
Getting no sleep and being woken up every 2 hours does NOTHING for your bonding- in fact, I was at the point where it was breeding resentment.
And I am NOT ashamed to say that.
Nobody gets it until they have been through it.
I really think judgement should be reserved.

Kim K. Needs Her Sleep

i have mixed emotions on this one.

how many hundreds of rich people don't do this and it's not news. thinking back to when i was a new mom... there were a couple of times when i would have given my right arm (because i had absolutely no money) to have someone help me and let me get some sleep.

i can't stand kim but i'm not so sure i hate her decision to get some help.

now, the comment about 8-10 hours of sleep... oh, come on. grow up... then again, she's probably spending every waking hour pumping breast milk and pumping iron for her after-baby-weight-loss-exclusive-money-making photo shoot

ITA. Why make yourself miserable if you don't have to??

I mean, I think Kim K is a horrible, vapid human being, but putting that aside,
I would have done it in a SECOND if I had the money.

and get a housekeeper, and a cook, and a trainer.

No need for the matyr attitudes!

AMEN!

I know what sleep deprivation is like. I thought I was losing my mind in the first 2 months after DS was born. BUT...it comes with the territory. It's almost a rite of passage as a new parent and those sleepless nights are what helped me to learn and understand what my baby wants and needs. Those tiresome moments are when you learn what the different cries mean bc you're DESPERATE to make them stop. I don't knock people for having a little help. But to EXPECT a full 8-10 hours of sleep after having a newborn and be so hands off is sad to me.

All am I going to say is I never knew how important sleep was to me until I had my son. The broken sleep you get in those first couple of months is just a bad bad recipe. I learned I do not do well on "naps" throughout the day. But, I managed, I made adjustments. I can't judge her on this, it's a smart move.

If I had the money I would've hired a night nurse without a second thought.
