Hi all, I am due my 2nd in November. The latest he will be born is 25th November but likely to be a week before then, so at Christmas I will have a 4/5 week old.

I will be having a section, same as last time.

DS was born in the summer so we were well eatablished in routine etc by his first Christmas.

I am a planner, what do I need to do in advance?! What did you find useful with a newborn at Christmas? Any tips for making it stress free/special?! DS will be 3.5 and we are having dinner at my parents, so I dont need to worry about cooking!

I had an end of November C-section baby.

Get on the Christmas bargain thread and have everything bought and wrapped by the beginning of November.

Foodwise, buy everything "special" pre-made. Book your Christmas food delivery slots as soon as they become available. Plan your weeks menu and book it all in early. Anything that isn't delivered, DH can be sent out for.

Be kind to yourself! Take it easy! Do not put pressure on yourself to be/do anything! Be looked after!

Get a stretchy wrap and stick baby in that.
