Partner back at work tomorrow

I’m in the same boat from tomorrow 🙈

Me too!

Take it easy, if tired nap when baby is asleep if you can.

My mum and dad are returning to Greece tomorrow where they live and I’m officially on my own all together.. we got this 🫡

Yup I'm in the same boat tomorrow....not sure what I'm gonna do x

House work can wait! Just focus on you and baby. Try and nap when baby does not try and keep on top of house work I did 😂 x

I found it very hard when my partner went back to work and still do. It gets very lonely but if you got family or friends around lean on the help if you can. Look into baby groups x

My partner went back to work on Thursday and honestly it's been much better than I expected! Just don't stress about housework and things. Spend time bonding with your baby, of course if you want to and you can then do some bits around the house but don't make it your priority. Try and get out for a walk even if it's just to the shop or round the block❤️

My Husband also returns to work in the morning and baby knows it! She’s been sooo unsettled this evening and is up for her first night feed and normally goes straight back to sleep but has been awake for circa 1.5hours now so unsettled

It’s hard because ur feel alone but u will get used to it in a week. Advice would be to keep busy, make sure u get out the house each day, whether that’s a walk, trip to the shop, see a friend or even just a drive round McDonald’s drive thru. Xx

Also sleep when baby sleeps if u can, I know it’s hard when u have bottles, washing, etc to do but try and Alicante one sleep time with ur sleep time. It will pass some time and make u feel refreshed! X

I was in this boat 2 weeks ago. House work can wait. Look after you and baby. As hard as it is, try to get some sleep. If you feel up to it, go out for a walk - the fresh air will do you both the world of good! Look into some baby groups - seeing other adults during the day feels amazing and to have a 2 way conversation is great! If you have friends that are free during the day, meet up with them.

Just focus on urself n baby please, eat when u can, stay hydrated, if u got garden n weather is nice then hv some fresh air, feed baby on time, make sure u brush ur teeth/hair n get urself little ready, don’t worry abt house chores please, ur healing is important, sleep when baby is napping.. first few months are really important for urself to recover. Talking from the experience

Thank you all ❤️ baby decided to wake every hour last night and only contact nap so far this morning. Usually he sleeps 3/4 hours and settles in his crib, it’s like he knows I’m on my own!

Sounds very much like my first day by myself! Enjoy the cuddles whilst you can xx

You’ll be surprised how quickly the day goes by! I thought this too but only seemed to drag for the last hour before my partner came home! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to get anything done and just enjoy the cuddles with your little one ❤️ xx

We set up another next to me crib next to the sofa, so she can 💤 while I can watch TV & potter about in the kitchen. Make sure you have drinks & snacks at hand if b.f. Don't stress, spend time with your baby & get outdoors if poss. The day will go quick.
