Sleep

Well when you are breast feeding as we all know your husband can not help. This means you are stuck up all hours of the night feeding the baby. Don't get me wrong breast feeding is great but the lack of sleep catches up with you . Here is what I have found out helps. Now I have my two younger kids home. 2 weeks and 14 months so it makes it a little harder but if you can get both kids down for a nap together take one with them. If you don't have two kids it is much easier to nap when the baby naps. Also when your other half comes home and you all are sitting around relaxing don't be afraid to take a small nap let them try to keep the baby quite for a little bit so you can catch up . Another helpful thing is go to a relative so they can keep an eye on the kids while you take a nap. Soon enough you will not be able to nap as much so take advantage of it while you can. But Never sleep with your baby in your arms or in the bed with you. Make sure the baby is in a safe place. Either a crib or a bassinet. Also if the baby is being quite and just laying awake at night don't be afraid to sleep as long as they are in a safe place they will be fine and they will let you know when they need something.
