Not that I was the greatest cook before having a baby...but I am getting tired of eating out/take out. We had friends and family who brought us so much food for about 5 weeks, so I got really spoiled. Now that I'm almost 7 weeks pp I guess it's time I start doing some meal planning and actually follow through with it. It just feels like every time I"m about to start cooking LO wants to eat or is fussy and just wants to snuggle with mama. Any tips/suggestions?

oh gosh, I don't think I *really* got my act together until she was 3-4 months old!

5-6 months. Not even kidding.

6 weeks!

I started cooking pretty much right away. The key for me was prepping things beforehand. When DH is home and on baby duty, I'll chop veggies, and make whatever I can ahead of time. Then I just cook in phases befor DH gets home and between feeding, cuddling. Also, when I'm not doing anything dangerous, I wear LO in a sling.

After my mom left around 8 weeks. Before that she was cooking mainly. Thank god for her stocking the freezer with those easy lunches though!

It really wasn't too long after. But I did freeze a bunch of things so we wouldn't have to worry about cooking for a while. I'd say less than a month though.

I always prepped during naps and/or waited for DH to get home at 3pm to make dinner. I could get stuff marinated and cut in the AM usually, though.
or...the crockpot! I could always prep the night before and then just turn it on in the morning. Or put it together that morning (if it was a very simple one)
