What’s your day look like?

Question

Honestly, some of you women are amazing. I’ve seen so many of you are already returning to work.
I’m fortunate I’m in Australia so don’t go back for quite sometime.
But honestly, my baby is 6 weeks and I struggle to get out of the house before midday?! 
And when I have to be at a 10am appointment I’m exhausted.
How are you guys doing it? 
How do you structure your day?

Answer

My lo is 9 weeks today (Saturday) I’m from Australia as well so I won’t be back at work until Bub is about 7 months old thank you Centrelink :) but I usually for early morning stuff will wake baby feed him bath and then out the door he sleeps in the car as for me getting ready I pass him to hubby to hold for 5 minutes while I change as my lo is an extreme mummies boy so I just quick shower and clothes on and out the door I don’t know what make up is anymore . Baby bag is generally ready from night before and I always have one bottle ready in the fridge of breastmilk to take along with me even if I don’t I just sit in the back of car and feed him ( not comfortable feeding in public breastfed)

Answer

I go back Monday. He will be 8 weeks old. It sucks but I have to do it. I'm worried about getting him up and out the door by 7am. I'm planning on having everything laid out and ready to go the day the night before and then I just have to wake up, feed him, get him dressed and myself ready and go. Its going to be hard the first week but I heard you get into a rhythm. I'm not excited. 😭

Answer

I’m not back to work yet either but if I have an early appointment or want to get out and about the next day I make sure the diaper bag is stocked and ready and car seat is set out the night before. We follow E.A.S.Y (eat, awake time, sleep, your time). This gives our day flexible structure. After her early morning 5/6 am feed I will change her and get her ready as part of her awake time. Then put her down for a sleep and get myself ready. One more quick feed when she wakes up then out the door.

Answer

It takes me about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs from wake up to be out the door between feeding her, dressing and changing her, getting myself dressed and ready and fed and sometimes a pumping session before I leave. But it’s all rushed and not a relaxed morning lol

Answer

I have a 10 week old, and really we only go out for doctors appointments and Saturdays when we do grocery shopping. When it's a doctor day, I always schedule them for the morning because to me it's easier to get up and get everything in order instead of trying in the middle of the day in between naps. 
We're usually up between 6 and 7am. Once we're up I feed and change her, then set her in the boppy while I let the dogs out, get their food, do the dishes and possibly sneak something for myself to eat. By then she will be fussy (doesn't like to be in the boppy too long) so I'll pick her up and either walk around or do tummy time. Depending on when I'm trying to leave, I'll let her go back to sleep or feed her. I always try to feed her as close as possible to when we leave so she doesn't cry in the car seat. It sounds simple when I write it out like this but I'm still always leaving a little later than planned! Its always a rush to get out the door, I think we just need more practice

Answer

I start back when he’s 2 months! Where I live you have to get their vaccinations before they can go to daycare. I’m struggling and getting out of the house is hard sometimes! But I’m trying to soak it in before it’s all over ❤️
