I feel like all I do is change diapers and breastfeed. When he's asleep I try to nap and get stuff done around the house. At night he is up at all hours and wants to eat often. He is only 11 days old and we're still trying to get in the swing of things. Just wondering what other moms' typical days look like!

Our LO is four weeks old now. Our 'typical' day is:
Wake up and nurse, diaper change, head downstairs
A bit of awake time, nurse again, morning nap
Nurse again, more awake time, maybe a bit of dozing while in the carrier or swing
Nurse again, more diaper changes, more awake time.
She goes to 'bed' about 11:30, sleeps until around 2-3, then wakes up around 5 and 7.Rinse and repeat all day long. I try to nap when she does in the early morning and in the late afternoon. If we go out, it's first thing in the morning while she's asleep, or after lunch when I think she might doze.
No real schedule yet though- but she is getting a little more predictable.

When mine was NB, yeah, I was just nursing, changing...& repeat. My days just mixed in with nights and weeks. It was really blurry because they (babies) did the same thing all day. At about 12w, we had a good schedule down with 3 naps & STTN.

My LO is one day younger than yours! Today, she has decided to fight sleep. I've been nursing followed by diaper change, followed by nursing, followed by trying to get her to sleep (read:crying), followed by 30-45 min of sleep. Repeat. All.day.long. Tommorow will be better, right?
Oh, and I do most of my napping when she sleeps in the evening. Can't sleep during the day, even though I'm exhausted.

Mine was about the same at that point. Nurse, change, zone it in front of the TV. Go out for a walk or coffee or something. Go home and zonk out while nursing. Very chill in those early weeks.

Glad to know your days look the same as mine! I was afraid I was missing something
