What is your typical day like with your 1 - 3month old please?

Question

I'm a new mom - not sure if my day is somewhat like yours. I want to see what other moms are doing with their children. Thank you

Answer 1

Every child and mother are different. You just have to find out what work's for the both of you. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Congrats on your new arrival!

I have a seven week old baby boy, as well as a three year old son. The baby normally will sleep until around 8. I feed him and he'll go back to sleep until around 10:30 or 11 AM. When he wakes up, he nurses again - as of the past couple of days, he's been staying awake after this feeding, for about an hour or so. His afternoon nap lasts for about 3-4 hours (that's usually his long stretch of sleep during the day). He'll wake up around 3:00 or 4:00 PM and nurse again. He'll then stay awake until around 6 PM, then sleep for another couple of hours. Usually he'll go to sleep for the night at around 9:30 or 10 PM. He has been waking up then around 2 AM, and again around 5 AM to nurse.

Since I'm nursing, my schedule pretty much is based on him. I nurse him on demand, so we have a great system of him waking up, my changing his diaper and feeding him, and him going back to sleep again. :) Right now, he's on average nursing every three hours or so. But, he changes everyday, so the above changes with that. While he sleeps, I grab a shower, check e-mails, clean/do laundry, eat, and nap. I also try to run errands while he's sleeping, with the hope he'll stay asleep while we're out - that doesn't always happen, though.

Hope this helps!

Mine are 3 and 1 now, but remembering back I mostly held them and fulfilled their needs.  They had naps and mommy time.  I played with them with toys suitable for their age.  Give them floor play on their own and swing time.  It just depends on what your baby wants and needs.  

I went through my day like normal except I included the baby in what I did and cared for his/her needs too.
