How much time do I need with a new baby?

Be Flexible in Your Schedule

With a new baby on the way, you are going to have to make sacrifices. This means making more free time then you probably currently have. Giving away some of your pleasure pursuits or taking a serious look at reducing your working hours (removing some of that overtime or taking less work home) will be necessary to make space for baby and the chaos that will follow. Allow yourself the time to be flexible in order to catch that odd bit of sleep when you can or to take over the baby chores whilst mom sleeps. If you both decide that you will split baby chores whilst you are home, you certainly want to make sure that you have the time and flexibility to do it. Baby won't oblige and stop crying just so that you can finish off that report.
