Experiencing motherhood for a second time 10 years after the birth of her first child, Amy Dalley admits that life with baby is tougher than she recalled.
“Having a brand new baby is harder than I remembered,” the singer tells Country Weekly. “I mean, 10 years go past and you don’t remember anything.”
Making it particularly difficult is the fact that her 8-month-old son Jackson isn’t the best sleeper: “He woke up every two hours last night,” Amy reveals.
So Amy and her husband Jack Sizemore are trying to let him “cry it out,” though she says so far it’s not going all that well.
“It’s pitiful, ‘cause he stands up and just swings his head around in the baby bed [laughs]. We probably should have a helmet for him! But we have this little TV monitor so we can make sure he’s all right. The other night he screamed for about 2 ½ hours.”
Amy admits she’s tempted to just go into the nursery and pick him up. “Who knows what’s gonna be better?” she asks. “It really is an act of wills… Am I stronger or is he stronger? So, I’m gonna beat him. I won’t be defeated! [laughs].”
Amy is also mom to 10-year-old daughter Madeleine.
How did you solve baby sleep problems? Did you try “crying it out?”
