[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read through, but I found the first month easier than I thought. I had a sweet and easy baby and was jacked up on excitement about being a new mommy. I crashed after I went back to work, but I was on a "mommy" high the first few weeks. Another incredible thing is that my DH helped a ton. Because I knew my body couldn't deal with the complete lack of sleep, I allowed one bottle of formula at nighttime so that DH would stay up for the 1-2 a.m. feeding (he is a natural night owl), and I would go to sleep after the 11-12 feeding and not get up again until around 4. Then, I would just keep napping between feedings until the 9-10 a.m. feeding. Yes, I spent 10-11 hours a day in bed, but it really helped.[/quote]
