Clean toilet, sink and kitchen sides.....the rest isn't worth bothering about.
Paper plates for first few weeks so it's less to wash up.
Batch cook and freeze meals to make life easier. Beans on toast is a good quick meal when baby sleeps. I had prepped salad in the fridge so I could feel a bit healthier. Cereal bars to keep me going through the night.
Get stock piles of baby and adult meds so you don't have to run out to shops if someone is poorly or teething. (Calpol, teething gel/crystals, nose spray, baby chest rub, baby albus oil, paracetamol for you)
Get a nose Frieda for when baby gets a cold (which seems to be every other week) they are totally gross but I swear have saved my DD from a chest infection many a time.
Baby box down stairs full with nappies, wipes, cream, bibs and other essentials so your not running upstairs every 5 mins.
If your bottle feeding get extra bottles so you only have to wash and sterilise once a day. Same with dummies, get a few because they get lost, dropped or let water in and have to be thrown.
Get milk delivered by a milk man if u have one. It's a bit more expensive but loads nicer and I don't have to worry about having enough milk.
Have a travel cot in your tiny room if you have space, use it as a play pen so you can go the loo or have a HOT cup of tea....hot tea is a treat when you have a baby.
Enjoy those first few weeks of being a new mum, don't expect too much of yourself. Let the world disappear for a while and enjoy your lovely new baby. Everyone always tried to get me out the house, it's good to get out but it's also good to enjoy cuddles on the sofa :)
Don't listen to anyone who uses the line 'oh your making a rod for your own back' it's all bollox. Do what feels right for you! Xoxo
