I'm on bedrest.....but i have a 3 month old daughter! help!

Question

I've been put on bedrest for 2 weeks.

I have a demanding little 3 month old daughter and we are home alone most of the day until either my parents or my boyfriend comes home.

is there anyway i can still take care of my daughter during the day but still be on bedrest like i'm supposed to be??

Answer 1

Don't fret too much... as shes only 3 months old shes not going to be running around and trying to cause chaos as a 6month old + might try to do! Just let Layla stay in bed with you, make sure you've got toys and nappies nearby and obviously easy access for you to reach bottles (or food) for bubz. Just remember to make sure you don't have heavy doona's on her and all will be good! Probably invest in a nice big bin so you dont have to worry about taking the rubbish bin out constantly when changing nappies...  

Answer 2

yes my best friend was on bedrest til about 6 months, keep your child right next to you, so you wont have to walk around the house for her, and keep her formula and warm water near the bed and diapers and a waste basket, i know it will get kind of messy but thats what family comes by for let them help you alittle while they are there. O AND ANOTHER THING WHAT ARE YOU DOIN AT HOME ALONE WITH A 3 MONTH OLD ON BEDREST! THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU ARENT CARFUL!

Answer 3

Stay in bed with her. If your breastfeeding that would help alot. Bring all diapers, change of clothes, bibs, etc within your bed reach!

Answer 4

just lie her on the bed with u have her milk in a flask and a couple of bottles ready by ur side and wen shes ready for them pour it out i used 2 do this for my night time feed . make sure she has a few little toys on the bed 2 look at keep her occupied hope this works for u  

Answer 5

if you are on strict bedrest and you have a 3 month old daughter.. he should have either hospitalized you or yeah hospitalized you. Does he know about this 3 month old? just ask your doctor about it. If he knows about it.. then I'm pretty sure you'd be able to take care of her.. just take it easy!!

congrats and goodluck =)
