What does your day with a newborn look like?
This might be a silly question but I am wondering how others spend their days with their newborns and what that looks like? I am a first time mom, on maternity leave with my 2 week old son. Dad is also on leave for the next couple of weeks. We live in NJ and it’s starting to get colder here, but we’re trying to get out for walks with the baby and the dogs every day. Aside from that we mostly are sitting around watching tv or movies while feeding/changing/contact napping (and washing bottles/folding laundry). I feel like we should be doing something more??? What is everyone else doing during the day? I feel like we should be proactively doing something productive for/with/related to our baby but I’m not really sure what that is…. Thoughts?!
