26. Your Baby Care Schedule

<p>Before the baby arrives, an expecting mother enjoys fantasies of cuddles and feeding times. After baby arrives, s*** gets real.</p> <p>This episode is a deep dive into Basic #3 of my Schedule Simplicity Solution for New Working Mothers. I break down the exact parts of your schedule as a working mother that are about the actual hands-on care of your baby vs. the exact parts that constitute the rest of the mechanics of motherhood. We get out of the fantasy cuddles and into the reality of your life.</p> <p>Do you know exactly how much time it takes you and the baby to get ready for the day? Can you operate all of the buttons and adjustments on the car seat one-handed? Is your partner fully trained in the baby’s care, feeding, and speed setting preferences on the automatic baby swing? Giving time and attention to these real parts of working motherhood is very important to your level of enjoyment of your life. Without a firm grasp on this stuff, we are frequently floundering, exasperated, and overwhelmed. Your job as a working mother is to structure your time in such a way that you give yourself the time you need to be exactly the working mother you most want to be.</p> <p>Connect with Heather:</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://heatherhennessey.com/">https://heatherhennessey.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/heatherhennesseylifecoach/">https://www.instagram.com/heatherhennesseylifecoach/</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heather.hennessey.180">https://www.facebook.com/heather.hennessey.180</a></p> <p>and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeatherHennesseyLifeCoaching">https://www.facebook.com/HeatherHennesseyLifeCoaching</a></p>
