So just be rich. Ok, got it. Please go check your privilege and realize the vast majority of people cannot afford this.
This person probably can’t either. Debt or mom brain, take the mom brain

It's sleep. But do try for hydration too.

Is your period back yet? The low estrogen of BFing can do this and is one of the causes of perimenopause brain fog

I don’t think you can, OP. It’s a mix of lack of sleep and hormones. Unless you can get 8 hours of night of sleep, you’re going to be slower.

I’m a few weeks away from returning to work after having my third child. I’ve been lucky to have relatively easy pregnancies and post partum recoveries.
But one thing I struggled with after returning to work with after the birth of my other two children was “mom brain”. I was slow to comprehend new concepts, struggled to find my words when presenting or in conversation with a work colleague. I have a distinct memory of once typing words that were different from the words in my brain (I know it sounds weird). I wasn’t particularly sleep deprived and didn’t have PPD. Just was not mentally operating on all cylinders. It did eventually go away but it took a few years to return to some normal.
How can I help avoid or better manage this? I know my life is completely different and I will never be the same person I was before my first was born….plus I still have the older two on my mind. But I’d like to minimize the struggle and feel more confident in settling back into work.
