Working From Home While Caring for Your Baby:
If you’re working from home, you might be wondering how you can care for your baby, while you stay productive yourself.
✨It is possible to work from home while caring for your little ones, but you may find it helpful to create a rough schedule and plan some indoor activities ahead of time so you have the supplies you’ll need on hand.
✨Caring for a child (or children) under 36 months also means you’ll likely get the bulk of your work done in short bursts, so you’ll need to prioritize with this in mind.
✨Here are some tips for working from home with a child or children under 3 years of age:
👉Work while your child sleeps: It is easy to do this, if your child has predictable sleep routine.
👉Share the load: If both you and your partner are home, you might like to take turns with one of you feeding or playing with your children while the other gets the chance to work.
👉Plan out your day and week as best you can. Schedule when you will wake up and what you will do each day. Having a plan and a list of tasks will help you focus on the most critical items in the face of distractions.
👉Breastfeeding and Working: If you pump breast milk, you may like to use a hands-free breast pump so that you can continue with working or a phone call.
👉Baby wearing: As you work, you might like to “wear” your baby. This will keep your baby close to you.
👉Be realistic. You may need to be more flexible in how you work and more creative in how you use the hours you have at your disposal. Don't beat yourself up if you can't do everything, or can't do everything perfectly—no one can! #MomThoughts ;#baby;#newborn;#NewbornBaby;#Newparents;#NewbornFeeding;#momlife;#BabyCareExpert;#BabyCare;#NewbornTips;#Childbirth;#pregnancy;#birth;#childbirtheducation;#motherhood;#Explore
