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.

Dont stress on house work. Priority is baby. Solve your food problem, get people to help you buy food, cook food or order confinement food for the 1st month. Eat well than can have milk supply. Dont stress on milk supply, if have you provide, if dont have use formula. Routine = Change Diaper, feed baby, baby sleep, baby bath. Stayby a place for baby to sleep use a cot. Set up diaper change station. Set up milk station, if on formula. A Bathing tub.
