CONOR MURRAY’S wife Joanna revealed their son has slept through the night “for the first time in seven months”.
And she has offered advice to fellow new parents who may be going through the same problem.
The former Ireland scrum-half and his wife became parents for the first time when baby Alfie was born last October.
They have been relishing the experience on the whole, and even celebrated his half-birthday in April.
But there have been obstacles, namely maneuvering the newborn’s sleep schedule.
With this in mind, they teamed up with a paediatric sleep coach named Orla from The Dream Team.
And Joanna revealed that it worked a treat, taking to her Instagram Story to declare: “Alfie slept ALL NIGHT for the first time last night.
“Like this is my first full nights sleep in almost 7 months. I’m elated.
“We’ve been working with @thedreamteamgsc over the last few weeks to get him into a good sleep routing, he was feeling around the clock & we were both exhausted.
“I wanted to do it as gently as possible, with no tears/stress for him, so it took some time but Orla was so lovely and patient with us.
“This isn’t an ad or anything, we happily paid, I just know how many of you are at the same stage as me & might need a bit of help!”
Joanna has embraced life as a parent, revealing to her 177,000 followers one of the “mum hacks” she has acquired along the way.
On her story back in March, she shared a screenshot of a Spotify stream of ‘The Happy Song’ by Imogen Heap.
And she said: “In case any parents haven’t discovered this song yet, it is MAGIC.
“It turns every meltdown into smiles I don’t know what’s in it”.
Joanna and Conor Murray’s futures lie abroad with the Munster and Ireland legend making a move abroad at the end of the 2024/25 season.
The 36-year-old called time on his international career at the end of the Six Nations, and will leave the province at the end of the club season.
His next destination has yet to be officially revealed.
But reports have suggested a potential switch to Top 14 outfit Racing 92 could be on the cards.
The club has. history of Irish players, with Johnny Sexton and Simon Zebo played for the Paris-based side during their careers.
