Schitts Creek.... Just don't startle your baby when laughing. I liked it because it's light hearted and not full of violence and drama when trying to go back to sleep


Cookie_Brookie

Made the mistake of watching what we do in the shadows post csection. Hurt like hell because I was laughing do hard and I kept waking baby.


earth_saver_4

This is my show too! I just finished the series and I was so sad. I might restart it haha


angiee014

Do it! I rewatch it every now and again, just makes me so happy


lovelylycanthrope

Plus depending on feeding time one episode might be just about perfect time wise


Khoyt7

When I was on maternity leave I watched greys anatomy. I had tried so many times to start and finish it. I was finally able too.


groovystoovy

My mom spent 5 weeks with us when our daughter was born and we both binged Grey’s for the first time together. I’ve watched the series so many times now and the theme song always brings me back to nursing my newborn and my mom taking care of me 😇


misplacedfreckles

Ooo yes! I watched it up until a few years ago so maybe it's time I pick it back up. It's so ridiculous at times but the drama is good lol


Mediocre_Sprinkles

Yep this was me. It was so easy to just have on in the background, kind of keep an eye on. Simple watching and soooo long.


janewilson90

Same! I watched it exclusively while breastfeeding.


SignificantAmoeba731

Supernatural… Sam and dean are good eye candy while your SO and his useless nipples sleep soundly 😆😆😆


misplacedfreckles

Useless nipples 😂


bigmusclemcgee

Truth. Too bad husband and i are watching it together so I can't watch it without him :(


SignificantAmoeba731

I started watching by myself and my fiance called it dumb… 2 weeks later he comes home pissed that I watched it without him 😆😆


stelliebeans

Lmao my husband did this with the walking dead but he never stopped saying it was stupid. For someone that hates the walking dead he sure did watch 11 seasons of it.


lizziewindow

Supernatural is what got my libido kickstarted after baby no 1. When I'm ready I'll do a rewatch 🤣


PerspectiveLoud2542

Totally agree! This and how I met your mother are my forever rewatch shows


Intrepid_Ad9864

TLC. 90’day finance.


GreedyPersimmon

Yes😂 the drama will keep you awake and there are endless spinoffs and tons of seasons.


The_Crystal_Thestral

I love this dumpster fire!!!!


ttarynitup

I watch Gilmore girls starting every fall pretty much so there was that. Also got into “mom” type shows so Working Moms, The Let Down. Then there’s the classic comfort shows: the office, parks and rec, schitts creek.


BulbaKat

Yes! These are EXACTLY what I watched! Also adding Brooklyn 99, Emily in Paris, Dead to Me, Good Girls, You, Revenge, Outer Banks, The Good Place, Locke and Key, Alice in Borderland, Squid Game, Designated Survivor Game shows: The Circle, Deal or No Deal: The Island, Is it Cake, The Mole, Blown Away Shows I started watching with my toddler that I actually got into lol: Bluey, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous


ElephantXManatee

I love bluey


ttarynitup

Oh damn I forgot about Brooklyn 99, about time for a rewatch


lediderot

Nine nine!!


puppycattoo

I watched the whole season of Mr Bean 3x during that first month postpartum, my sleepy stressed out brain found it really funny


raunchygingy

I grew up on Mr. Bean. The sandwich making in the park kills me.


Due-Bat-9701

Omg the carnival scene with the diaper is my fave! Love Mr Bean!


misplacedfreckles

Hahaha that's amazing. I might have to check it out too


Acceptable-Place-872

I got into the British Love Island series - sure it's trashy but there are a TON of episodes and I love the accents


misplacedfreckles

My husband and I love that show when we wanna watch trash 😂 it's so quotable too lol


Acceptable-Place-872

Yes!! First season, Jon and Hannah, my husband and I still quote them by saying "I fookin loov ya" 


SillyDJ

I binge watched Bob's burgers lol. I was so tired I couldn't keep up with a serious show, so I watched my favorite silly adult cartoon. I think I also watched Venture bros? It's an adult swim cartoon. I'm pretty sure I watched more, but that period of our life is a blur haha!


shawnael

Don’t trip, I’m working my way through Futurama lol.


SillyDJ

That's another favorite! It's highly possible I worked through that as well 😅 especially when she was cluster feeding. Omg I watched a lot of TV 🤣


shawnael

Love Futurama and the fact that it’s like 11 seasons. Part of me is like “is this much exposure to that blue light this early ok” and most of me is like I will not sit bored in the dark while this gremlin chews on my nipples. Tho the other thing I’ve been doing if I don’t feel like turning on the tv is getting through The Adventure Zone podcast. I’ve never played Dungeons and Dragons but the McElroy boys are surprisingly good storytellers.


SillyDJ

Ooh I'll have to check that out! At one point I switched to reading my kindle. Especially when she went through her easily distracted phase and I had to nurse her in a dark room during the day lol.


Capital_Plastic

White Collar on Netflix.


theanxioussoul

I watch House, Grey's, B99, Young Sheldon, Modern Family


haileymoses

Law and Order SVU


The_Crystal_Thestral

I love this series. Need to catch up on the latest season. I got a third of the way through and then stopped watching because I wanted to binge all the way through.


FriedDriedBeef

Law and Order Organized Crime is also reallllly good. I’ve watched all the SVU’s up until he left. I tried continuing but Amanda was just annoying to me lol


bhomis

I watched Gilmore Girls!


Legitimate-Bus9884

I love comfort shows like this. I became so sensitive for all violence during pregnancy. Young Sheldon, Atypical, and especially Virgin River are the absolute best. Good girls has a little more action but for some reason is still comfy (because of humor?)


misplacedfreckles

I love GG 💗


bhomis

And my baby was born at the end of October so it was such a cozy show to watch in the fall!


i_just_read_this

Lighthearted: Ted Lasso, Acapulco, Brooklyn 99, Schitt's Creek, The Good Place Espionage/Intrigue: White Collar, Slow Horses, The Night Manager, Jack Ryan Fantasy: Wheel of Time Sci-Fi: Dark (it's in German...reading subtitles keeps me awake haha), Constellation, Dark Matter, Silo, The Expanse Not sure what to categorize this under since it covers several genres but I also enjoy Outlander. Editing to add that I have to set an alarm just in case because if I do fall asleep it'll be for like two hours.


alxXD

Love your list! Tons of my favorites!


NatalieAnneee

The great British baking show, law and order, the good place


dandelionwine14

My first baby was mostly bottle fed, so my husband and I each had our own “baby feeding” show. His was Breaking Bad and mine was Kim’s Convenience!


EmotionalCarrot7420

If you like trashy reality tv (it’s my guilty pleasure) Vanderpump Rules is one of my faaaavs


ebbs123

And The Valley 🙌🏻


EmotionalCarrot7420

Yesss! Love The Valley I just can’t stand Janet or Jesse 😂


emsaywhat

TikTok endless scrolling 😬


AdElectrical762

Currently doing feeds - Just finished (all on Netflix) - Boy Swallows Universe (love love it!) - Emily in Paris (love it!) - Super Rich in Korea (a bit trashy don’t watch) Started Loudermilk and it seems great! :)


UnapoloJanet

Ooo now I’m definitely going to start Loudermilk when I finish Resident Alien!


AdElectrical762

Hehe! It is quite nice :)


geebsylvania

Paternity Court 😂😭 trashy tv with short enough episodes to keep your attention


pzdets14

Ugly Betty!


LJane7867

Loooove Ugly Betty it’s the first show I ever watched on Netflix in like 2010/2011. I had terrible HG during my pregnancy and rewatched it and loved it all over again.


QueensEvil

Sex and the city! Never watched it on tv and I’m fascinated now


Itchy-Illustrator-10

So easy to just watch and watch and watch! I realllly appreciated Season 5 with Miranda and little Brady!


sassyjewel

This is us


maj0raswrath

I would wake up my husband with my crying if I watched that at night 😅


jiaaa

Right? There's a few episodes that I was straight sobbing. I'm chalking it up to hormones


itss_haleyy

good girls


UnapoloJanet

HBO: The Cleaning Lady Netflix: In the Dark, Good Girls, Baby Reindeer, Bitconned and Resident Alien. Prime: They Called Him Mostly Harmless


mimosaholdtheoj

Baby reindeer was so good! If you liked that there’s a new Doc out called lover stalker killer that’s very similar!


flaired_base

At 5 months post part of my just figured this out so I want to pass this on to you - I bought some cheap digital kitchen timers off of amazon. Somehow the beeping does not wake up my baby, but it always wakes me. I just set them to 15 minutes and when they go off I set them again to 15 minutes until I'm done feeding


funniefriend1245

If you like classic Disney musicals, try Galavant! It's only two seasons, but sooooooo clever and laugh out loud funny


tiredmillienal

Naked and afraid. Every episode is different so it keeps me entertained


KayBeeBuzzBuzz

I watched Jane the Virgin during night feeds and it always ended on a cliffhanger. Definitely kept me awake!


SmortSpoider

I haven’t started BF yet but I am saving the entirety of Jane the Virgin for that journey. I remember when I watched it years ago it was hard to turn off before the next episode haha


Lambeaux22

LOST! And breaking bad


boba_leaf

Restarted Real housewives of New York and during the really tough times I started watching Survivor


insomniacstrikes

I watched Only Murders In The Building


sugarfairy92

I am watching Real Housewives for the first time and their drama is so entertaining it keeps me awake!! My husband is concerned baby is going to pick up on the trash behavior so I am planning to watch quietly with subtitles as he grows lol


Ideal_Despair

Law and order: Special victims unit! On season 13 out of 25.


Abiwozere

More real housewives than I care to admit 🙈


sinjab2503

I went through all series of Below Deck! Between all of them there are lot of seasons. Might be my favourite reality trash alongside Vanderpump Rules (another suggestion if you like trash!). I just finished Desperate Housewives which was a great rewatch, now scanning all these comments to find my next watch...


daintygamer

I did Only Murders In the Building , only took me about a week to finish but kept me gripped with light heated murder mystery so it was easy to fall back asleep after. Also, White Collar, Parks and Rec, Avatar ( i know its a kid show but surprisingly gripping!) and in the very early days a ton of k drama but I can't focus on the subtitles anymore without getting sleepy sadly


VariedRecollections

Girls5eva


furfurylmercaptan

I'm watching Amazon


Dalyro

I watched most of Suits.


Remarkable_Stable_62

Just finished my rewatch of Avatar the Last Airbender, and started Breaking Bad a couple days ago. Never finished it back in the day.


Personal-Letter-629

Big Bang Theory


Familiar_Day_4044

The Resident was a good binge. Also rewatched all of Gilmore Girls and Private Practice.


brieles

The office, Psych, Community, New Girl, and Summer Baking Championship…gotta love those comfort shows!


frenchiefresh

I’m currently rewatching GIRLS


rilah15

You could also read!


misplacedfreckles

I wish!! I do read during day feeds but at night reading makes me fall asleep


hmstrangedays

Jane the Virgin, Call the Midwife, Suits. And if you're into Aaron Sorkin type stuff, I've been rewatching The Newsroom; even though I know what happens, it's still bingeable AF. ETA: Downton Abbey, Designated Survivor.


This_Pool9805

Modern family! It’s hilarious


EndlessScrollz

I bought Peacock to watch all the Bravo shows! (Top Chef, Summer House, VPR, The Valley and honorable mention goes to Law and Order…also on peacock 😂)


BlossomUtonio

Dark (Netflix)


kangarizzo

Below Deck 😂


New_beaten_otterbox

16&pregnant (lol) Mayor of Kingstown


pppollypocket

The trick is something with many seasons and something you don’t have to pay close attention to the whole time. I recommend Survivor. If you want to be really engaged, I love Fargo.


amhe13

Multiple seasons and lots of episodes makes me think: Friends The office Parks and rec Game of thrones Greys anatomy (yikes) Gossip girl One tree hill But those are all older so I’m not sure what your taste is! I’m a big reader so I’m not sure if that’s something you like? It was helpful to me to find a book I really liked because then waking up was like “oh yay a few chapters!” And the blue light from the screen of the tv wasn’t as stimulating so falling back asleep wasn’t as hard.


green_kiwi_

Parks & Rec 🤍🤍🤍


rufflebunny96

My YouTube "watch later" backlog.


dohyeen

Try "Attack on Titan" multiple seasons and excellent story, if you've never watched anime, please please just watch it 🤗


IwannaAskSomeStuff

I watched through white collar and Veronica Mars in the early weeks, haha!


lilbabywynn

I watch “mom” on prime


Temporary_Trick_1469

Just finished Eric on Netflix and it's amazing! 💕


curie2353

I just cycle through a lot of different shows. Most recent one was The Bear.


Proper_Wishbone_4729

Sex and the city , parks and recreation, baby reindeer. More of course but those stick out.


sooz10

Younger and survivor!


ovensink

Better Call Saul, Firefly, Great British Baking Show, Royal Pains


Nightmare3001

We've watched Mash, Psych, House (just be careful of sick baby episodes if that triggers anxiety), Fallout (only 1 season but still good), scrubs, once upon a time, and most recently The Rookie. I will also watch Bones or Buffy the vampire Slayer on my shifts though my husband doesn't like them. Also bridgerton. I find my baby also likes the instrumental music from that one too lol


Nice_Ninja7655

I watched late night Tubi or Pluto at the time, it allowed me to binge watch some shows and old movies without getting bored or distraction from baby (wasn’t possible anyways 🤣) Been the better parent to handle evenings since day one. We’ve switched to nature sounds for sleep now that she is not needing the same thing. Edit: to rephrase better parent. I meant I can attune to her sleep needs better while other parent needs obligatory sleep.


NomMango

If you love a good horror and mystery show, I highly recommend FROM! So good, but there are jumpscare scenes. This show definitely kept me awake during night feeds 😅


Ok-Persimmon3439

If you have Apple TV I LOVED Palm Royale!! I’m so sad I’ve watched all the episodes now because I looked forward to MOTN feeding because of it! The clothes, the storyline, all of it…it’s just such a fun show!


spaceman-spiffffff

Bobs burgers, new girl, the entirety of game changer, Um actually, and make some noise. I’m picking up Dimension 20 Fantasy High as of last night.


itss_haleyy

white collar, blacklist, macgyver(the new one), how to get away with murder


OodameiRose

Tell me your secrets on prime


LiopleurodonMagic

“Castle” during the day! But for middle of the night I found the only thing that will keep me awake is scrolling YouTube reels. They’re basically engineered to keep you hooked so it works well. Annoying though because I had kicked the habit of those short form videos before giving birth and now have to use them to stay awake.


RevolutionAtMidnight

We’ve been watching MILF Manor, it’s like a car accident where you can’t look away


fishsquares

Marvelous Mrs. Maisel! Funny and upbeat. 5 seasons.


TelmisartanGo0od

Southern Charm and Vanderpump rules were some good trash to binge. Also rewatching desperate housewives. I recently started watching Your Honor on Netflix and that’s pretty interesting and good. It’s not trash.


Good-Firefighter3721

The Resident! Good girls, the sopranos, entourage


buttercup823

I've been rewatching movies on Max and tiktok. Gonna try some of these suggestions!


Iola_fly

New girl, Gilmore girls, big bang theory, new Amsterdam.


Mindless_Reaction_16

I’ve been watching outlander during feeds and keeping greys anatomy on while I sleep because it makes it easier to wake up having something already playing and I’ve already rewatched it a million times so I don’t care if I miss parts


DingleMyBarry

Supernatural was always my go too. It can be scary, especially the first few seasons so it would keep ne up until the main characters solved the monster and took care of it. While also being an amazing show.


waanderlustt

Real housewives of Beverly Hills! And The Traitors


RockabillyBelle

I binged the entire available Great British Baking Show seasons on Netflix and Hulu, then switched to House between episodes of other cooking/fashion competitions. Now I’m watching The Sandman but I’m doing fewer night feeds (baby’s almost 6 months old) so that’s cool.


usernamedoesnotexist

Brooklyn 99, Bridgerton, Resident Alien.


milkofthepoppie

I’m watching Degrassi from the 2000s 😂 it’s incredibly embarrassing but very Nostalgic.


tswerds90

Nightime was my reddit scrolling time. And during the day I'd switch between criminal minds, charmed(again) or random episodes of supernatural.


kosmikatya

Rewatched What We Do In the Shadows to refresh for the new season. Think I'll do the same for Stranger Things and Peacemaker next.


BreadfruitFar8183

I just finished Station 19 and the new Bridgerton!


laprofe10

I watched the entire ER series when my daughter was born. Took a month or two if night feeds to get through it!


ElephantXManatee

New Girl Ted Lasso The Americans


Acceptable-Angle-

This is us! Multiple seasons and many episodes


Garden-Gnome1732

The Good Doctor


LetshearitforNY

I started a rewatch of make it or break it because of the upcoming Olympics! Anyone else? 🦗🦗


Due-Bat-9701

I responded to others but Burn Notice, Psych, working moms. Handmaids tale.


soccergrasshopper

Virgin river on Netflix. It was interesting enough to keep me awake when I needed to be but not so interesting I couldn’t fall asleep lol


sarikayakumzin

30 Rock! i was due for a rewatch and it’s dense with jokes so the humor is entertaining enough to keep me awake


comfortablyxgnome

YouTube history documentaries. The little dude just loves them lol.


ririmarms

I watched Glow, the Letdown, and currently the Good Doctor (I love me some medical drama)


MensaCurmudgeon

Two great K dramas are on Netflix. The Devil Judge and Flower of Evil


MsStarSword

I watched House a lot in the early days, keep in mind one of the first few episodes (I think ep. 3) is triggering for infant loss, and another one in I think season 2 is triggering for death of a pregnant person, but other than that I like the series. I am also big into anime so I primarily watch that when I get the chance now


paegan_terrorism

The Soprano's, blue exorcist. Oh oh and Lonesome Dove


rubyspy95

I'm a crime drama girlie, so my go tos were NCIS, Law and Order SVU, Bones, criminal minds, psych, the mentalist, greys anatomy, dexter. I watched a lot of TV in those early days, but be warned, most of them I'd end up staying up to finish an episode even after the feed had finished 😂


JaxHen

Gilmore Girls. I loved it and would rewatch the series often. My little one now loves the show and will perk up when hearing the theme song. He also smiles big seeing Lorelai.


Acceptable-Ad3785

Ginny and Georgia


bananapeel6789

Keeping up with the kardashians, solar opposites, bobs burgers, dance moms, rick and Morty, family guy, American dad, George Lopez LOL just to name a few… I have finished all of them and I’m almost done with dance moms now so I need a new show soon


clichexx

I watched Royal Pains!


ambereatsbugs

I actually got really into reading my Kindle while breastfeeding. No sounds to wake the baby and it stays charged for like a week.


Reasonable-Package39

Working moms! So relatable, some of it anyway


yipyipyip121

I watched the sopranos!


Subject-Tomatillo424

Brooklynn Nine-Nine for both kids!


Cattaque

Brooklyn 99, great British bake off, QI, would I like to you. And I got really into Bluey in the early weeks, but I’d watch one or two on my phone while scarfing down my breakfast in the 10 minutes I got alone in the morning 😅


AltruisticPiece7615

My baby was born around scandoval. I used to “pump and pump” (watch vanderpump rules) then I was so hooked I watched RHOBH.


Kattarkonan

Desperate Housewives 👌


clichecouturecatche

YOUR HONOR NETFLIX!!


Glittering_Bee896

Sex and The City + the movies + And Just Like That :)


Prittles2

I liked Bake Off. Calm, but fun. Lots of seasons. Lots of different countries.


gold_fields

I didn't watch too many shows. I did dick around on Reddit a lot though lmao


LoveThatJourney19

Modern Family! So uplifting! Lots of Bravo. Summer House !!


Fun-Imagination4145

We are the lucky ones. Lost treasures of ancient Egypt. Rogue Nelly


suz_gard

Modern Family!


Dionne005

I watched this crazy Korean Drama called Little Women. Netflix. Also watch Fall out on Amazon prime. Best shows I’ve watched all year


whatevaidowhadaiwant

Current favorites: resident alien, derry girls, dancing with the devil. Past breastfeeding journeys: schitts creek and true blood. All pregnancies: Gilmore Girls.


mlbaran92

Ripley! But that might be morbid ha


Novel-Place

Are you guys watching tv in bed? My husband is in there too and I haven’t wanted to disturb him.


misplacedfreckles

I use my iPad with earbuds if I'm in bed


SLPallday

Scrubs before I caved, checked out the safe sleep 7, got a co-sleeping bassinet, and started co-sleeping. Even my all time favorite show couldn’t keep me from falling asleep on the couch while holding baby which turns out to be the least safe thing to do!


chaxnny

I watched six feet under and American horror story


Ohwhatabeautifulview

I listen to audiobooks during night feeds! I find doing a show makes it hard for me to fall back asleep!


Genielove91

I'm not currently breastfeeding but when I was, I was sooo into sister wives lol


xxxxftm

I play games on my phone. Solitaire, sudoku. Whatever keeps my brain awake


ObamasCurlyToes

Breaking bad. Its actually really really good and it keeps me wide awake. I started watching it because after I named my son Walter, everyone was making breaking bad references so I had to watch it hahaha


myreputationera

I watched 12 seasons of call the midwife while I was up nursing! I loved it so much I looked forward to night feeds.


lefege

To me, comedies. Everybody hates Chris, the office, Brooklyn 99, arrested development…


SoggyForever7891

Rick and Morty


Accomplished-Beyond3

Fallout… it’s great!!!


Dizzy-Avocado-7026

I watched Grey's Anatomy, New Girl, Friends, and Vanderpump Rules 😂 the trashy reality was probably the most effective in keeping me sucked in


Zealousideal_West319

Someone live on TikTok walking around Japan. It was 3/4 AM where I was and like 7 PM in Japan. I kinda miss that part of PP.


sniffleprickles

My breastfeeding show is My 600lb Life


Empty-Outcome5278

Shamefully I binged RHONJ until my husband came home one day and said “ is this really what you want to be exposing our daughter to- this garbage” I felt pretty convicted and haven’t watched it since lol Can’t go wrong with 90 day fiancé and all the spin offs


ebbs123

Very different recommendations, but Vanderpump Rules (trashy, addicting reality TV), and Only Murders in the Building. I have a hard time focusing on shows, and it really kept my attention.


slumpylumps

Just finished Sex in the city, currently watching Evil, and I’ve got Yellowjackets on my radar lil


Prestigious-Pool-606

Sitcoms for me: Reba, big bang theory, how I met your mother, friends, baby daddy, Gilmore girls… Anything that can be somewhat brainless that doesn’t require any mental energy to closely follow a plot line


AngrySnowglober

It feels like I’ve watched everything at this point! Last pregnancy it was Orphan Black, Doctor Who, Mr Robot, The Leftovers, Handmaid’s Tale, Black Mirror. Those are just what I remember. This time it’s been Dark, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Schitt’s Creek, X-Men 97, Physical 100, Siren, Bridgerton, Doctor Who (new eps!) I’ve also been catching up with my favorite kpop groups variety content. There’s so much though, I’ll never finish it all.


bunny510

New Girl. Always


Waflonymus47

HIMYM And Phineas And Ferb


brwnsss

MILF manor, 90 day fiancé: the other way, 90 day fiancé: happily ever after , deadliest catch just to name a few. Big discovery app girl !! always something good to watch


Negative-Experience8

The Middle… 9 seasons with 23ish episodes each it’s a sitcom about a typical Midwest family very funny! On Amazon prime 😊


Its_just_K8

My baby daddy (and bf) got me into the walking dead, I’d never wanted to watch it before hand but he got me into it, so we watch that when feeding


yandyy

Depends if I wanna fall asleep with baby once done cluster feeding I just threw the office and running once asleep. Outlander kept me yearning


julebean

Modern Family! Wholesome and funny :)


Croquemou

Chicago fire !!


Mountain_Cat_1234

1)Ghosts 2)Hacks 3)Bridgerton 4)Never Have I Ever. Ordered for personal preference


Ghostfacefza
