Tell me your schedule with a 1wk old newborn?

Question

FTM and excited, nervous, anxious! Baby is almost here and I’m trying to mentally prepare and visualize what our first week at home will be like. 
I know it’s nearly impossible to plan it out and to expect the unexpected, but curious if anyone would like to share their schedules or tips on how they managed the first few days with baby. 
Just collecting info. I know it’ll be hard so no need for warnings. Thanks!

Answer

No schedule, everything is on-demand, 24/7. Eat when hungry, sleep when tired, that goes for baby and mama. It’s gonna be wacky.

Answer

No schedules at all. Everything on demand.

Answer

Honestly at that point I had no schedule either time. I fed on demand, they napped when they napped. The only thing I did make sure of was keeping nights and days in order.

Answer

Could hardly go to toilet or shower at one week old. I was no where close to a schedule. Everything just on demand x

Answer

None. Schedules are too much with a newborn go with the flow.

Answer

Best advice is to just go with the flow.

Answer

Oh man, no schedule. The best thing I can suggest is having people bring you meals or have some frozen meals on hand.

Answer

The first few weeks is basically feeding the baby, feeding yourself, changing diapers and resting. Don’t worry about anything else. Take the time for your body to heal and for you and baby to figure each other out.

Answer

Ensure you are feeding often, yourself and baby lol the rest is sleeping, changing diapers. Not much else.

Answer

It's a newborn. There is no schedule. You're just trying to get to know each other. It'll be many weeks before a schedule makes sense. Relax!
