As a new mom, I'm still learning as I go. It's especially tough on my own, as there's no one else here to hold or distract baby while things get done or so that mom can take a nap. I've figured out that making the most of baby's sleepy time is essential to my sanity and well being.
So my learn-as-you-go tip of the day: finishing one's bedtime routine (changing into PJs, teeth brushed, etc.) well before 8 pm. That way, the very minute my baby falls asleep, I'm also ready to head to bed. Previously I would wait until the baby was already knocked out before doing these tasks, cutting into my potential rest time by at least 30 minutes.
And I'm sure as any new mom will tell you... every minute counts!
