LO still too small to be going out to groups and do activities, and all my friends n family work durning the day....is the next few weeks going to be all about trying to get sleep and house work?

-go to supermarket
-go to library
-go to my mums
-visit friends
-go walk round park
-go walk round our village

you could still go along to any baby clubs in your area - often they are for mums to meet other mums rather than for babys!!!

I am lucky that 3 close friends are also on mat leave at the moment so I see them a couple of times a week. Other days I go for a walk in the park, potter around the shops. Other days I see friends who don't have babies (I am a nurse as are lots of friends so they do shift work). MIL looks after LO once a week so I can have some me time. erm....doesn't sound like much but I am never sat down, I do wonder how I will fit work in

I'm following this as I am BORED out of my brains I'm considering returning to work earlier.....

My LO is 15 weeks old and its only got worse there's not much you can do with a little one!!

I went to a baby group straight away when LO was born. There were lots of mom's there with newborns and it was great to get out just once a week. The rest of the time I spent trying to get some sleep and being glued to my sofa breastfeeding all day long. It was only from about 10 weeks that I started to be able to do more normal things like meet friends for an hour or so or nip to the shop for milk.

A 1 week old, nothing, really nothing. I fed willow, let her sleep on me, expressed milk for her, tried to get to have a wee at some point during the day, and repeat...

Since she's been a bit less "sleep between every feed" and sttn:
Monday - baby club
Tuesday - baby massage
Wednesday - baby club
Thursday - baby sensory
Friday/Saturday/Sunday- see family, do Tescos shopping.

Each activity is half a day, then the other half the day we go out for a walk or do some housework. Otherwise the rest of my day is spent trying to get her down for a nap, washing up, feeding and changing then bath and bed!

At the moment my whole day consists of feeding, changing and trying to settle for naps and thats it apart from trying to squeeze in a bit of housework

At your Lo's age I was sitting on the sofa with him asleep on me most of the days. I became an expert on using one hand. So loads of movies, Facebook, bnb...

My OH went back to work on Monday, it seemed really soon and I was terrified. But after our first day alone, I calmed down a lot.

I spend pretty much all day with my boob in my LO's mouth at this point. And then trying to get her to calm down enough to take a proper nap...which fails miserably most of the time.

I also take her for a small walk (20-30min) which is pretty much the highlight of my day. So nice to get out of the house and not have her give me that "I'm craving nipple" look for a while.
