Why 'Sleep When the Baby Sleeps' Misses the Mark for Real Parents

We've all heard it: "Sleep when the baby sleeps." But honestly, is there any advice that feels more out of touch? As a new parent, I quickly realized that those precious nap times are when I finally get a moment to shower, eat, or just breathe. The laundry piles up, dishes stack, and sometimes, you just want a few minutes to scroll your phone in peace. While rest is important, life doesn’t pause just because the baby is napping. Real talk: we’re all doing our best, and sometimes that means using nap time for anything but sleep. What do you do when your little one finally goes down for a nap?
