[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly could have been okay physically,  but I was nursing all night long and had trouble doing major things in life due to sleep deprivation (using knives, making left hand turns, remembering anything). Maybe your husband could formula feed all night long instead of you breastfeeding? I definitely bled for a good 6 weeks, but it was probably because I was at stroller strides at 3 weeks and just never rested.

It's just not doable without massive help and $$$. [/quote]

who would take care of the new born? 12 weeks is very young for daycare. Nobody sends a 1 week old baby to daycare. [/quote]

The youngest I've ever even heard of a daycare taking a baby is 6 weeks.[/quote]

This will be a problem. Daycares won’t take babies before six weeks. [/quote]

Our local chain daycare took a 2 week old, but the director was very clear that this was an extenuating circumstance due to the mom being a single mom with other complicating factors.  I'm not anti-daycare (both of my kids were daycare kids), but this was heartbreaking to hear.[/quote]
