One month post partum
I am feeling slightly more adjusted to being a family of 6. However having all kids home while recovering was not my best planning. Being torn in all directions is the norm now, these kids are learning to be patient for mama.
Besa is still doing all the newborn things: sleep, eat, p**p, peep one eye ball, repeat. Wake times are super short and I am choosing to prioritize bonding over any structure for now.
One difference i feel with her being my 4th, is that I am not pressuring any tummy time or other skills. She gets plenty of elevated tummy time while cuddling on my chest. We will have more opportunities for floor time later.
She’s been living in my baby wraps, it is really the only way I can comfort her while getting things done around the home. We do not use any other “containers” because she wont let me be away from her yet. And her most likely being my last baby, I am happy with us being inseparable.
I will be incorporating play into her routine slowly as my body heals and as her wake windows extend next month!
