How are the new moms doing!?

Question

Anyone getting any sleep!? Not me! lol! This month has been the best ever. i am so sleep deprived but so happy! love my little me! she is amazing  . We are breastfeeding exclusively so ahe is with me 24/7. My aunt is here w me helping me out w the house and watchs baby so i can go get  groceries, or a manicure. (i have been able to continue getting my weekly manicure). Biggest challenge right now is getting anything non baby accomplished. i am still so tired, i dont seem to be able to multi task! Anyone have a good daily routine!? Please do share! We dont have a schedule yet.. waiting till we get to the 3 month benchmark for that!

Answer

Beautiful post Carolina, I'm so happy for you!!! That's wonderful that you have your aunt with you so you can still do some things outside your house.  
My boys are still in the nicu but doing great! It's brutal to leave them at the end of the day when I go home, but I'm so thankful they're healthy and I'm able to nurse them while I'm here and pump at home. Hopefully we can all go home next week 🙏🏻

Answer

One sleep deprived mommy right here! But a very happy mommy too! I feel the same way. It's extremely hard to get anything accomplished, especially non baby related. I have been able to get my manicures too though! And grocery shop when I can. I feed Emrie in demand, which is usually every 2-3 hours, so no set schedule yet for us. But I will be trying to implement one around the 6 week mark. That's what's suggested based off of the book we will be using to sleep train, Twelve Hours Sleep by Twelve Weeks Old. At night I will let Emrie sleep for 4 hours if she is still sleeping. I have to pump every other time I feed her since I am using a nipple shield, so my husband gives her a bottle of pumped milk in the middle of the night so I can get a few more hours of sleep, which is nice. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts, because once he is back at work, I won't want him feeding her in the middle of the night.  I've noticed Emrie is a lot more fussy at night. Are any of your babies like this? Also, she appears to be straining, not always crying afterwards, but she looks a little uncomfortable. I spoke with the nurse at her doctors office and she suggested me going on a very bland diet with no dairy, beans, or gassy veggies. Just add it to the list of things that make my life more difficult, yet unbelievably amazing with this little girl of mine!
