Tips/Advice for doing our job with a newborn?

[playfelt]

I actually put my last baby on an opposite schedule to day meaning she napped when they were up and was up when they were napping more or less. It was exhausting to me but it also meant she slept while I was busy making lunch and getting kids settled for naps and then she would wake up and we had 2 hours of private time to feed, cuddle, etc. so I did get some relax time and then it would be time for her to go back to sleep and daycare to get up and have snack, etc. So it mostly comes down to what works for your daycare schedule - ie outside time, going to playgroups, outings pretty much take a back seat for awhile - my last was born mid January.
