I’m a rich housewife and ‘block’ my baby until 7am – it’s someone else’s job to look after them at night as I need sleep
A SELF-STYLED “real housewife” has claimed that she “blocks” her baby until 7am most nights.
Mum-of-two Jenna Michele claims that she’s a stay-at-home wife who signed a prenup “promising to stay hot”.
And part of her beauty routine is getting a solid eight hours kip while somebody else looks after her baby.
Jenna, who is in her 30s, welcomed the tot with her husband in autumn last year.
At the time, she urged other women to “choose your baby daddies wisely”.
Now, she has a night nurse that spends weekday evenings at her house to look after the newborn while she sleeps.

She joked on TikTok that her baby is “blocked until 7am” once the professional babysitter arrives.
A night nurse, also known as a night nanny, is a trained babycare expert with extensive experience looking after newborns.
They help parents with the night time feeds, bedtime routine, breastfeeding and any sleep issues.
Most night nurses typically work between 9pm and 7am, but these hours are negotiable.
“When your baby wakes for a feed, the night nanny will make sure good feeding practices are being instilled,” the experts at Night Nannies explained.
“She will ensure your baby stays awake to have a good feed, and she will then wind and settle your baby.
“Often mothers drift off while feeding and may not have the energy to spend time on winding or settling their baby if they are tired.
“This can result in the baby waking again within a short period requiring further winding and possibly another feed.
“An exhausted mother may not recognise this in the small hours of the night.
“A night nanny will make sure everything stays on track whilst you get the best sleep you can.”
Jenna, who dubs herself “the real housewife of Chicago” on social media, reportedly pays around £635 a week for her night nurse.
She says that her husband takes on the late-night role on weekends.
“Everyone’s experience is different and you gotta do what works for you!” she penned in the comments of her now-viral TikTok video.
