Being alone w/ baby

Wear him. Get a wrap and wear him, he'll cry less, sleep more, and you'll be able to do more of what you want/ need to do

It’ll be hard some days but getting alone time with your baby is so nice and bonding.
Do you have a wrap around carriers? I wrap my girl up in that and go about my day doing what i need to.

Spending some alone time with your baby helps you understand them, bond, and find a rhythm that works for both of you. Definitely carriers are great! If my baby is crying, he wants his pacifier, needs to be fed, held/hugged or a diaper change. I instinctively know what he needs now from our bonding time

i’m going through the same thing, baby is 3 weeks tomorrow and i’m on day 2 of having her alone. it’s hard and i’m exhausted but it’s totally doable. agree with the wear baby comments because that works for us as well when she’s awake even though she’s mostly asleep but take this time to learn all those cues and learn how to balance everything it’s going to take time and it’s tiring but at the end of the day it’s worth it for our perfect angels

When i had my first i felt the same way when my husband went back to work but it was great bonding time. I learned the different sounds my daughter made and was able to tell what she needed from just her cry. With my second its hard to constantly hold him like i did with my first but it’s good sometimes to put them down and let them cry for a min or two, my son is starting to cry less when i have to put him down to deal with my first born. When im doing house chores though i put him in my wrap and he just passes out.

I’m assuming this is your first baby 🥰 There’s a learning curve for sure, and there will be some growing pains as you adjust to mothering and learn! Give yourself lots of grace!! Not everything will get done around the house and that’s totally ok. You’re still so freshly postpartum too ❤️
