Managing life with a baby

[Maviya]

Hi.. I am a new mum and currently I am not working. I really want to know how do you all amazing women manage the household chores with a baby? How to cook when the baby is awake? How to keep him entertained and engaged while you are busy in the kitchen for more than am hour.
His wake window is around the same time when its time to cook dinner. How do you all manage all the basic things with a baby? Everything seems to be so difficult now.

Batch cooking, stirring one handed standing back from hob with baby in sling, lots of oven chips/jacket spuds. When older in high chair with toys/snacks. My first had reflux and the second was really clingy so I did all sorts with a Moby wrap on. Now 14 and 11 I actually miss those days!!
