Luke Combs & Nicole Aren’t Using This Bit of Parenting Advice – Billboard

Luke Combs and his wife Nicole recently welcomed their first child, son Tex Lawrence, on Father’s Day (June 19). Since then, the couple has received a lot of parenting advice from friends, family and colleagues in the music industry. However, Combs says there is one oft-repeated piece of advice that the couple most likely will not incorporate into their current parenting strategy.

“The number one thing I heard is — gosh, what do they call it, a night nurse? “This is something I have heard about,” Combs told ABC. “It’s something I heard about, of which I was just completely unaware of the existing.”

Night nurses care for babies at night — including feeding, change, and sedation — so that parents can have much-needed rest. However, Combs says the couple plans to continue to handle the night shift on their own.

“You know, I think we’re going to try it for a while and just do it on our own,” Combs said. “This child did not have a choice to be born. You know, it was our choice to bring him into the world. So I think it would be very selfish of me to say, ‘Oh, now I do not have time to do this thing.’ And I think trying to do it on our own is something we look forward to. ”

However, he admits that they can change their minds: “Maybe a month of no sleep will change my outlook on it. Who knows, ”he added.

During its first week on the map, the project released on June 24 earned 74,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate.
