Scared of being alone

[helphelphel]

I'm probably a little hormonal and worrying needlessly, but I have a beautiful 5 day old baby boy, and whilst it's a little hard right now, doing this with my other half is working and we're a great team.

My problem is that I can't get the worry and thoughts from the back of my head that he goes back to work in 2 weeks and I'm petrified. Like, not just a little worried but I cry at the thought of it. One how on earth am I going to do this on my own day to day? Two being alone all day with just a baby scares me

I can't shake this feeling and I really need some advice on how to in order to enjoy these next couple weeks (and beyond)

TIA

All I can tell you is that it is tough, but he's on the other end of the phone when you need him (assuming he can take calls).

Prep as much as you can the night before, have meals ready to heat in the microwave, bottles ready, or everything set up beside you for breastfeeding.

Keep a little diary of meals etc. so you get used to baby's schedule. You can also fill him in when he's home.

Maybe take your shower at night rather than morning, while your OH is there.

You can do this, no bother!
