How do you care for your baby on your own?

Hi working mummies! Due to space constraints, I’m seriously considering taking care of my baby on my own till I go back to work. Currently we are staying at my in laws and we have a part time helper who does housework. I’m not expecting my in laws to help with taking care of baby. MIL & SIL work and FIL is not so mobile. May I check with mummies who managed to take care of your baby wo any confinement lady or helper for tips? I’m 3 months to my EDD now. Feeling the anxiety kicking in cos I’m really unsure how I can manage as a FTM. :( I’m wondering if I can just try my best to cope and when I go back to work, i can get a day care nanny to take care of my baby. Cos of the space constraints, I doubt a helper would be an option.

I've csec and I take care my baby by my own from the day he's born till 4th month I engaged confinement nanny for day care but she don't help much and I terminate her service on 3rd month Prepare extra thing ie clothing, milk bottles so that you can focus on taking care baby when he's awake or cry. It can be frustrated if u need to wash bottle or breast pump part when u need it urgently to prepare milk when baby is hungry and crying for milk, so planning and time management also important I believe you can do it 💪with your hubby's help
