We have talked about taking time out for yourself. You need to get enough sleep to make the day productive. The most effective time management technique I have found for new moms is sleep. Don’t be a martyr. Ask for help if you have a new baby and you are tired. Take a nap and take care of yourself. I know that right now, I am dieing for a nap every few hours. It was so nice when my Turkey-butt was a newborn. I could nap when she did. But with Little Man, there are no naps and no sleep at night. I am a real drag and get nothing done even when I have a babysitter. You just don’t function when you are exhausted. So take it from an exhausted new mommy, sleep when you can because if your mind isn’t sharp, nothing gets accomplished.
I remember being so thrilled when they took naps at the same time. It was so great!
I am with you that time management means naps. I moved into the 3rd trimester recently and I need like 11 or 12 hours of sleep a day… -Michelle
Sorry your kids don’t like to sleep, I have a few of those who did not nap, always been envious of the Moms who got nappers!!!
i agree with u.. i feel asleep, specially when im breastfeeding my 2 months old dylan gabriel, i can do all the house hold choirs after taking a nap with him, he would just play in his crib while im busy cleaning.. i make sure that he knows the difference between night time and day time.. i keep him awake (most of the time) during the day and have him sleep overnight soundly… very glad i am.
