What would you do during your baby’s nap time?
I would love to discuss this topic with you today. As a new mom, I always wonder what to do when my sweet little boy is napping. Thousands of things come to mind and I am wondering what to do and when
Laundry? Dishes? shower? a coffee?a film or my favorite series? or a sound sleep? What comes first? All new moms are debating this.
Basically, the best advice is not to do anything during nap time that you can do while your baby is awake. Instead, engage in something else that you cannot do while he is awake. I love this advice and try my best to follow it. So, his nap times are always my me time.
I always jot down things that come into my mind on my iPad. I do this while my little boy is on my lap. He comes to my lap for breast milk, but something else happens most of the times. Yes he is sleeping, so I take the chance and start my jotting down. I have noticed and feel like wonderful thoughts come while he is on my lap. But the narration and all the writeup for this site, comes when he is in his nap. I would do anything with him but the overloaded cuteness always disturb my write ups.
As soon as I put him down to sleep, he opens his two big eyes and looks at me. His look is like, “Do not put me down, mama.” So, what can I do when he is sleeping on my lap? I started keeping a book to read and my iPad at arm’s length so I could jot down my priorities and plan the rest. Truly, it saves my time.
What about you?
