[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t work for a newborn but an au pair might work better for you. Then they could work at night instead of the day and you’d have better coverage. I’m curious about the musician part and if you will be able to practice. I too have a similar profession and I couldn’t even remember how to write out a check during the first month. Sleep deprivation made me brain dead. [/quote] That’s why I have to get sleep. I can’t not practice for my whole leave. [/quote] I agree. If your husband or family can’t help, I think only night nurses will help at night with a newborn and they’re $$$. I was ebf and dh didn’t help at all at night (just wasn’t a need for him). I worked hard at routines and babies sttn by 8 weeks. I’m sure I still had unicorn newborns though. I’d just breastfeed and back in the bassinet no problems with them going to sleep. Anyways, it took 30 days of 7 hours of sleep a night for me to feel human again. I could practice but in no way could I perform. [/quote]
