I wanted to ask both first-time and seasoned mommies here:

I'm a FTM mom, baby is 3 months old, currently on bonding leave with my son while hubby is back to work since October. How was it juggling taking care of a baby the first 3 months by yourself when hubby is at work, breastfeeding and pumping aftwerwards around-the-clock, and taking care of yourself on top of it? My mom and sister helps out once in a while, but on the days I have the baby to myself, barely, if none, chores get done. He still has separation anxiety when I leave the room for a bathroom break and gets fussy when I put him on an infant carrier for more than 15 minutes. It gets really frustrating to keep our place tidy to a bare minimum and I can't even do it until hubby or another person is handling my baby. How was your experience and is this normal because I feel like I am running WAY behind mommy responsibilities😞

I would put my son in his swing or wait till he was napping to do anything. I also chose to stop breastfeeding after 2 weeks because I wasn't producing enough and he was always hungry so he was constantly fussy. With formula he was able to eat more and keep full longer which helped him sleep longer too. Things got done, I could take naps when I was finished, my mental health was better.

I went back to work 6 weeks PP, my husband went back after 9 days working 2 jobs. It is tough. There were dishes piled high, pet fur and who knows what in the carpet, laundry was alwas behind. It took me MONTHS, to realize it was okay, nothing has to be perfectly clean all the time, we ate take out more times than I care to admit, life was always a rush, I was miserable. Don't sweat the small stuff, if all you get is 15 mins, then use it on the major stuff first, and just do small tasks everyday for those 15 minutes. Nothing has to be done in one day! Enjoy your baby!
