First day of dad back to work. It’s 10:30am and I’m already exhausted & Faye has already had two solid hours of TV time.
He’s been gone since 6am.. how do single moms do this??
You all are superheros.
Only 10 hours to go. 🙃
Update: just spilled 2 oz of breast milk. 🤬

It gets better, I promise. I have 4 by myself, 10 hrs a day with no help. 😅 You just have to get yourself into a routine. And don't feel bad about the TV, it's a life saver with a newborn.

Don’t worry it gets easier! Try not to stress about little things, set reasonable goals. When I was on maternity leave my daughter watched the move Sing 3x a day 😩 No, not ideal, but it didn’t do any harm and now that baby is nursing less and moving around the house they play together and she barely watches any TV.

I’ve gotten Noah hooked on “educational” shows like word party on Netflix, little baby bum(referred actually by his behavioral therapist). He watches videos on YouTube about colors and shapes and numbers. That way I know I can stick him on the tv or his tablet and he’s at least kind of absorbing good stuff and I don’t feel as bad lol of course he still gets plenty of toy story and bugs life and the good dinosaur and all that 🤦🏼♀️😂 don’t feel bad though you’ll find a routine!

She just outgrew Word Party & Little Baby Bum, unfortunately, but, she’s really started to enjoy Blues Clues. I’ve been hearing her use new words and I know it’s from there, so that’s good.
It’ll definitely be easier once a routine is established. He’s just so young and flighty still. Like one day he naps and the next he’s up for 3-4 hours straight. I think once he’s about 2 months it will be easier. 🤞🏼

Sing and trolls before they took them off Netflix. Blippi in YouTube. 😄 Let it be your best friend until you figure out routine and get adjusted. No harm and no judgement! Soak in the toddler and newborn snuggles!!
