Sling update
LOL. Well, the sling will definitely help you. My DS in fact DID take
a 3-hour nap in the middle of the day -- in a sling. While I sat at my desk and worked. :-) I also worked while he nursed -- in a sling. (My DD didn't usually take such a long nap, but the total amount of time she slept was about the same -- she just did two 2-hour naps instead of two 30-minute and one 3-hour, IYSWIM. DS came to work with me from age 3 mos to age 6 mos. DD came to work with me from age 3 mos to age 15 mos.) While I agree that during the first 3 months you don't want to have any goals more ambitious than getting a shower every day, thereafter (for at least another 3 months or so) it's not too difficult to have something like the kind of schedule you outlined -- as long as you use a sling, so that you can work, go to lunch, and fix dinner WHILE your baby naps and nurses. "Several hours a day" seems like, well, a minimum to me. Where else do you put a baby who doesn't sit up yet? I suppose lots of people use swings, bouncers, etc., but -- after having a second baby who, unlike my first, was often content in such devices for stretches of more than 15 minutes, I still hate them. I can't stand to leave a young baby alone, so when the baby's not ON me, I'm tied to a single room. Which is pretty limiting. Anyway, I'm glad you've got your sling working for you! Holly |
