Instead of constantly making trips to the store for essentials like diapers, wipes and formula, consider buying these things in bulk. That means you’ll have less chance of running out of them, and you’ll save yourself some time and stress. The same goes for meal prepping and making dinners in advance. Don’t beat yourself up if you buy a few frozen meals to avoid having to cook.Find out if there’s a lift club to or from school for your older child, and if so, consider making use of it.
If you can afford it, a nanny or even an overnight newborn specialist might be a good choice. They’ll be able to step in when needed so that you can get some much-needed sleep.According to “What To Expect”, these professionals don’t come cheap: anywhere from $160 to $360 a night, or $20 to $45 per hour, depending on various factors like your location, their credentials and experience, and how many babies you have. But they’re apparently worth every penny.
“A newborn specialist can be a godsend, especially if you plan to bottle-feed exclusively or in addition to breastfeeding,”the site. “She will give your baby expressed milk or formula for at least one of the feedings each night, allowing you to get some extra shut-eye. She can also get a fussy baby to sleep, change diapers and otherwise make your life easier…”
Most importantly, don’t suffer in silence. And don’t be scared to ask for help. Friends and family might be more understanding and willing than you think. There are many support groups for single moms. You are not alone.
