What do you do all day while your newborn is sleeping?

Question

when he's awake im either holding him, feeding him, or changing him.

but he sleeps a lot and i dont have anything to do....i feel like im on the computer too much. what is there to do since i obviously cant leave the house.....im also moving in two weeks, so everything is for the most part ready to go..so i cant reorganize everything around the house cuz its sitting waiting to go.

Answer 1

Wow you are so lucky. My bubs dosnt sleep much at all. but when I do have time to myself I read a book or watch telly or look on the net. Maybe you could take up a hobby such as nitting or hand sewing? you could make some cute little baby toys or out fits. I hand sewed little toys for my bubs when I was pregnant.  

Answer 2

I hate you ! Just kidding :)

well if I had free time I would sleep, read, catch up on some tv shows or housework.

Answer 3

LOL laundry and bottles

Answer 4

You should use the time you have to catch up on stuff that you usually can't do while he's up. I do things like to do:

1. Prepare meals

2. Pay bills

3. Clean up the house

4. Watch TV

5. Relax on the Porch

6. Take A Nap for my self

Answer 5

I exercise, clean, and work on scrapbooks. My son is 3months so he is up a little more then he used to be so I get less and less time each day lol

Answer 6

I watched a lot of Law & Order.  Try reading a book, drawing, coloring, cooking... keep busy or you'll go crazy.  

Can you take him out in the stroller for walks?  

Answer 7

Read books, relax!! You must be busy with him so if you can get much needed rest then that's a good idea. You can also prepare some meals and freeze them so when your busy unpacking you won't need to worry about cookng.  

Answer 8

Sleep....... take time to do something for yourself, do your hair, nails, pedicure, something..... Because TRUST ME this stage does not last and before you know it you will never get a moment to breath. Enjoy this....... I remember feeling this in the beginning i napped when she did, and still i would sit there like... hmm what to do what to do, lol now... at almost 6months, i rarely get a break because in the brief moments where she is napping or playing by herself i am running around like crazy trying to get stuff done. My big big big suggestion is rest as much as you can! because soon....... you will never know what that feels like again
