New parents face many sleepless nights.
Not so in the case of a US influencer.
Her solution also resonates with other mothers.
Chicago – According to the family portal NRW, it can take up to twelve months for babies to reliably sleep through the night.
And even then, occasional waking is not uncommon.
The irregular sleep rhythm of newborns demands a lot from new parents and many would have probably wished at times that they didn't have to go out ten times a night to look after their little bundle of joy.
An influencer from America has made exactly this dream come true.
The fact that the night nurse costs several hundred euros per week is more than worth it to her so that she doesn't have to sacrifice her beauty sleep.
This influencer and mother doesn't let her newborn keep her from losing sleep.

Young mother leaves the child care to the nanny at night
Jenna Michele is an influencer and mother and lets her 77,000 TikTok followers share her life with short clips.
In one of them she sends a kiss on the camera's hand, makes a peace sign with both hands and then walks out of the picture.
Above it is the text “Me to my baby as soon as the night nurse arrives”.
Translated into German, this roughly means: “Me to my baby as soon as the night nurse is there.”
In the description under the video she adds “Blocked until 7 a.m.”.
The influencer, who probably calls herself “Real Housewife of Chicago” in reference to the well-known American series “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” employs a night nurse.
She acts as a nanny overnight and looks after the baby.
The mother can therefore sleep in peace of mind and know that her child is in good hands.
Other mothers are also enthusiastic about the idea - even if the service is anything but cheap
Of course, such a service is not cheap.
According to
focus.de,
the influencer pays the equivalent of around 742 euros per week.
On the weekends, her husband takes on this task, she replies to a comment under her video.
It is clear that not everyone can afford a nanny for just under 150 euros per night.
Nevertheless, you will mainly find positive comments under the video.
Envy or criticism?
None.
For example, one user writes: “Love this for you, baby.
Sleep with the rest of us!” Many express the desire to do the same with their next child and ask about the costs and which placement agency the influencer used.
A British mother had a completely different experience when she shared her two children's gifts online and received heavy criticism.
In general, purely family channels have recently come under increasing criticism.
The reason is that young children in particular cannot give informed consent because they are not aware of the consequences of such a public life.
Parents often stand in the way when their offspring no longer wants to share everything, as the case of a 17-year-old shows.
