I came up with a genius hack to sleep in with a newborn baby — haters are calling me manipulative

A British podcaster has taken to TikTok to share her best-kept secret for getting a much-needed sleep-in when you have a baby.

She called her sneaky strategy the “best mom hack ever” and it’s since gone viral racking up nearly three million views.

Parents everywhere have agreed you ‘gotta do what you gotta do’ to reclaim your energy during this phase but others called the tactic “deceitful and manipulative.”

So, what’s it all about?

“I’ve never told anyone this,” @everything_luanna began the clip. “My husband and I came to an arrangement when we had our child that I would do the night feeds and he would wake up around 5:30 am to take our baby girl downstairs for her morning feed, leaving me to get a few hours uninterrupted rest before he starts work.”

A British podcaster has taken to TikTok to share her best-kept secret for getting a much-needed sleep-in when you have a baby.

But then something magical happened at around the 10-week mark.

“We go through enough – let the men have some of the load!”

Her little one dropped her night feeds.

She decided to see this as an opportunity and so didn’t let her husband in on the change.

The British TikToker, who goes by @everything_luanna, said that she and her husband came to an agreement and she would take on night feeds.

She explained: “I had a blissful sleep plus additional sleep-ins most days after telling my husband how AWFUL my night had been and him thanking me for being so quiet as he had no idea it was such a struggle.”

“I would be pretty upset if my wife led me on like that”

With a knowing smile, she concludes, “I don’t regret it at all. Ladies, we go through enough – let the men have some of the load!”

“Winning at mum life! This is the best mum hack EVER!” she added in the comments.

But when her baby stopped doing night feeds, the podcaster decided to not tell her husband about the change.

“This has the same energy as when I used to say I was going food shopping but I’d already ordered it to collect so I could sit with a coffee for a bit,” one mom commented.

Another wrote: “I did this too – can confirm it works a treat.”

Then a third stated: “Work smarter, not harder.”
