Not worry too much about the house and enjoy my time off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1372459 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:25:47 +0000 MaisyMay 1372459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take longer off before going back to work and just focus on being present as much as possible. I would get out with the LO more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1372374 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:50:09 +0000 travelgirl1 1372374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hire a cleaning lady for once a fortnight, stress less about breastfeeding, take more videos of the baby : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1372341 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:32:28 +0000 Mamasig 1372341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will try to rest more and just nap with my boys. I will enjoy every bit of time with them before going back to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1372322 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:24:30 +0000 littleveesmommy 1372322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will try to go out for walks more and not be so obsessed over naps in the beginning. Last time I was cooped up at home way too much and need to get out to enjoy the time off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1371730 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:36:13 +0000 sotofamilia 1371730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enjoy napping with the baby on me and not worry about nursing to sleep...basically enjoy having a little baby again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1371722 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:34:58 +0000 blackbird 1371722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pump so much or stress over that. I could have been napping or relaxing during baby's naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1371652 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:19:50 +0000 MamaMoose 1371652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't waste my last couple weeks freaking out about going back to work!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1371643 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:18:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1371643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with not even stressing about the house for the first month. All baby clothes will not be folded. Just dumped into a drawer or basket. </p> <p>I really enjoyed my breast feeding group but wish we had connected outside that group more (aka invite them to the house even though it was a mess). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1371635 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:17:15 +0000 hilsy85 1371635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'm a SAHM so no real maternity leave, but in the first few months with the next LO--I will NAP MORE. I am a bad napper, but I will force myself. And leave the dishes/cleaning/hire a cleaning lady to come in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-you-do-differently-on-maternity-leave-next-time#post-1365994 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:15:00 +0000 Smurfette 1365994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want to make sure we go on more walks (weather permitting). I didn't walk unless she was in the stroller, should have put her in the Ktan and walked more. </p> <p>Also if DH isn't traveling, give him the LO's and go walk around then neighborhood by myself, even if for 20 mins. I wish that I did that with R cause I really needed a break after holding her all day. </p>
