[quote=Anonymous]Love this thread! My baby is only two months old, so we are really still in the thick of things. (Every day is different! There is no such thing as a routine! what are these regular feedings you speak of PPs?) There has been so much great advice here that I will only add two things: first, if possible, have someone set up a "Take Them a Meal" plan for you. My neighborhood parents' group does this for new babies or any other family needs in the community, but takethemameal.com is available if friends or relatives want to do it for you. If folks from out of town want to contribute, you let them know your favorite delivery places and they can place an order for you, too. The second thing I would recommend that hasn't been mentioned before is that while you are on leave, really, truly disconnect from work. This has been a mistake I made. It was so easy to grab my iphone and check work emails and respond while the baby was on my breast for the third hour in a row. That led to me being roped into conf. calls and a couple of in office meetings. I really regret that now that my leave is winding down. Turn in your phone during your leave. [/quote]
