I no longer rock her to sleep, and she sleeps through the night.
When you're in the thick of newborn life, and you've been up from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. trying to get your hungry-but-sleepy baby to stay awake through a feed, it's hard to remind yourself that you'll miss these moments. But it's all true, and so many mothers told me it would be. My daughter is nine months old now. I no longer rock her to sleep, and she sleeps through the night. But I already miss holding her as she sleeps with her tiny body nestled in mine.
