How TF does anyone get anything done??

Question

And I only have one.

Answer

For real. I can’t even pump because he just wants to be held all the time... I’m just trapped on the couch...

Answer

Some days I feel like super woman and my house is clean and I am caught up on emails and calls and some days I just try to block out of my kind yhe disaster that is myvhouse! 🤣 I have a 4 year old, one about to turn 3 and little man is 2 months today. He is such a great baby but sitting to breastfeed just takes time and the girls need activities since we don't go many places these days.  I just try to enjoy both being productive and having a clean home and maybe even a shower and days where we all just snuggle and trash the house together all day. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Honestly I struggle so hard with this!! I’m an OCD about my home being clean, it gives me MAJORRR anxiety when it isn’t. The only time I find time to do stuff is she goes down for bed. So I’m up pretty late cleaning, doing my own thing. Then he wakes up around when I’m finished. It sucks bc I’m so tired not sleeping when I should 😩

Answer

Baby wearing! I have a 2.5 year old and 6 week old. It’s the only way that I get anything done! And it’s helped the 6 week old establish her own nap schedule. It’s been wonderful. I’m able to spend time doing crafts with my toddler, laundry, cook, and basic household cleaning. Now there are some days that she just won’t go for it so we just snuggle on the couch those days (which I’m totally okay with), but for the most part she loves it.

Answer

I’ve learned to do things with one hand😅. Plus I baby wear. I have two other toddlers to care for so my days are long and busy!

You don’t, god speed (2nd time mama)

Answer

I’m in the same boat. I have a 6 week old snd a 1 1/2 year old. I also breastfeed. Between meals for my toddler and my husband and I, diaper changes, baths, nap times, laundry, tidying up, i have no time to do anything else really. I make sure to have a 5 minute shower every night, makes me feel refreshed... oh how life changes.

Answer

Baby wearing! This time around compared to my first i really try an pay attention to his sleep ques... he has a little schedule for himself its not perfect by any means but he will nap wake and feed around the same times in a 24 hour period so i try to keep it going with that and do other things while he’s napping. Its really tough with a 3 year old though and some days i barely make it through the day. It can be overwhelming for sure, i try to just give myself one task at a time and if I can’t finish it oh well but id be lying if my messy house didnt want to make me rip my hair out! I try to do as much as possible during his two biggest naps when i know i have the time!

Answer

Learn to do things one handed, it gets better around 3-4 month mark. At least with my first 2 it did. Also with my second I made it a point to put him down even for a couple minutes a day In his bounce Seat so he got used to sitting there for a bit. No, I would not let him cry in there but just setting him down once a day made a huge difference I believe, by 3/4 months he would sit In there contently for a bit while I did stuff around the house. And I am doing the same with this baby, he’s actually starting to like it.
