[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Update:

My husband prefers night sleep and working out in the morning ( so he can help in the evenings) so we are going to hire help. I will have a doula coming next week for daytime help, that will change to night time help once we're comfortable.

I will cut down on cleaning and cooking. I have not changed my story per one comment. I said he did most of everything in the first month and now we split most cleaning 50/50. We are very clean people and do not like a dirty house. I know I need to relax my standards.

I do not like sandwiches. Lunchmeat is carcinogenic and full of sodium. Super gross and bad for you. I eat 2200-2500 calories a day and prepare breakfast and lunch for myself and my husband everyday. It's usually not super time consuming - eggs + avocado toast for breakfast or oatmeal. Lunch is grilled cheese + soup, salad, charcuterie board, etc. I can't afford a private chef but maybe I can have my husband meal prep things throughout the week. I'm not very creative and tend to stick to the same things each week.

As for feeding, I will ask the doula what she thinks is best in terms of feeding schedules for a newborn.

As for sleep, I enjoy holding him for naps. He can nap on his most of the time, but we are trying to have him nap in his crib, and he often wakes up. He doesn't wake up after being put down in the snoo for naps or at night. He wakes up to eat but goes right back to sleep.

You do not need to worry about nap in cribs at this age. Keep him in the snoo for naps and get some sleep. I had both of my kids ( and know many others who did too) in the snoo for all sleep until 3-4 months. You can't spoil a newborn. Put him in the snoo for all sleep.[/quote]
