How/what are we eating with a newborn ??

Putting baby in a sling to be able to sort dinner (and eat it!) X

Baby in a sling. Or a bouncer chair - ours vibrates which he loves and gives me just enough time to make some toast or a jacket potato.
I do lots of slow cooker meals with baby in sling so I just have to spoon it out in the evening x

Are you using a breastfeeding pillow when feeding? I have one and can then be hands free when feeding so then I can eat myself. I also have a sling too so if needed can pop her into there if needed

Overnight oats for breakfast and salads for either lunch or dinner depending on if my partners cooked. I have found easy prep cold meals don’t leave me disappointed when I can’t eat my food hot.

But as above sling for prep. In the evenings my partner and I take turns (he’s not back to work yet) to eat dinner, I eat first and he eats much later to allow me space

Bananas, oat cereal bars, carrot batons and houmous, nuts, ryvita crackers and dips, slices of ham/ cheese/ salami, croissants or brioche, olives, stuffed pasta.

It’s sooo worth persevering with the sling, a lot of babies don’t like it at first but just do few minutes a day and sway/walk about to calm them.

Also breastfeeding pillow! My friend leant me her My Brest Friend pillow and it’s a complete game changer. It has little bumps to support their head so once they are latched you can be hands free. I hear what you say about the tongue tie though, but this will help you so much down the line xx

My husband batch cooks breakfast burritos and puts them in the freezer all wrapped up. I get one out, microwave to defrost and can eat them one handed. Full of protein with meat and eggs, some have potato too so I find them so filling and just a great option

I also need to get my little one used the sling so I can be freed up to do prep myself!
