Me! The hard part is overcoming the lack of sleep due to pumping. You’ll get frustrated and annoyed (a crying baby) easily when you don’t have enough sleep. Once your body got used to the frequent waking and sleeping lesser, it will get better. My baby is generally quite easy to manage (thank god). She just sleeps, drinks, pee poop. Occasionally needs someone to entertain her. (NB days - 4mo) The routine is pretty much the same daily, just add age related activities as they grow. It gets way easier for me when I started to stretch my pump sessions (5-6hrly, 12hrly) because I can finally rest well. LO is currently 20mo and I stop pumping at 18mo and have been able to sleep for 12 hours daily ☺️. LO haven’t attend school yet so for now, the hard part is finding stuffs to keep her entertained. The rest are generally quite easy to handle.

Yes I do, I clean the house every Monday, laundry Sunday. I cook daily as well to save money. Toilets will be washed by hubby during his off day every week. To add on the worse part, having to take care of LO even when you’re sick and half dead while the husband still prioritise work 😂. You can consider putting bb to IFC if you intend to go back to work.
