Tanja Makarić Reports Severe Infant Sleep Disruption While Parenting Alone

She described acute sleep deprivation that forces her to compress work, chores, personal time into minutes daily.

Overview

  • In an Instagram question-and-answer reported Aug. 15–16, 2026, Makarić told followers she is raising daughter Malou without the father's support.
  • She said Malou is in a difficult sleep phase, waking as often as 20 times a night and sometimes sleeping for only about 15 minutes at a time.
  • The disrupted sleep is leaving Makarić exhausted and forcing her to fit work, showering, cooking and housework into very short windows each day.
  • Makarić clarified that Malou’s father is someone she has known for eleven years, that they are not together, and she emphasized she does not want to overdramatize the situation.
  • Since the Q&A she has also announced she has given notice on her apartment and will move with Malou, and her public disclosure highlights how influencers’ private parenting struggles play out in public forums.
