Funny Short Baby Quotes

Man, raising babies can be real tough. I swear I never though it could be this difficult and tiring before I became a mom.

Sleep deprivation in particular really got me: there were some mornings when I had to go to work after a sleepless night, with my daughter that woke me every hour, when I didn’t think I was going to survive. Sleep regressions became my worst enemy and all I could dream of was having at least 4 hours sleep in a row!

That said, if there’s one thing I have learnt to make it through is that I have to look at the funny and bright side of things. Make a joke out of it and, if you can’t cry, laugh out loud. Or do a bit of both, why not?

So, here’s some of the best short and funny baby quotes that are sure to make you smile and, hopefully, look from a different angle at the fact that you probably haven’t showered or slept in a long time, the house is still a mess, and baby doesn’t allow you to put them down for one second before they start crying again 🙂
