Every other person keeps insisting I sit down or rest my post partum body and I do much as I can given I got a 3 year toddler and a brand new baby to adjust too. Which means very little 4-5 hours on bed and rest juggling the kids as both need me. My husband takes toddler out much as he can and such but I end up spending that time feeding the little one extra for all the other feeds being short when big brother is home.

How much rest do you all get? And is it super necessary? Like Will there be huge health setbacks if I don’t rest enough right now?

Thankfully my labour and delivery went well and natural birth with only 1 stitch.

Thanks for sharing your inputs.
