While preparing for new parenthood, we tend to stock up on all the essentials that will make those first few months as easy on us as possible. Diapers, swaddling blankets, a bassinet, a rocking chair for those middle-of-the-night wake-ups, a baby monitor, pacifiers – and the list goes on. But another essential that expecting or new parents might not know about is a list of bingeable TV shows.
However, this isn’t any ol’ list of TV shows that are easy to watch in bulk. These TV shows are ones that you can watch at three in the morning when your newborn is cluster feeding and keeping you from sleeping. These shows are calm and quiet enough that your baby won’t be stimulated to stay up later than they need to while being compelling enough to get you through until they fall back to sleep. Also, there are no confusing storylines to follow because that’s the last thing a new sleep-deprived parent needs.
There’s a little something here for everyone, so if you’re caught in the middle of the night, half dozing off, these titles will help.
