One thing that I found especially valuable with a newborn is having a plan in place for how diaper changes and feeding are going to go. For me and my husband, we agreed that he would wake up and change while I woke up and prepared myself for the nursing session. This couldn’t last forever because he only had two weeks off of work, but it really helped in those first two weeks. Then once he went back to work, he continued to do the diaper changes except for probably two feeds overnight. It ended up being a very good system for us. It gave me a chance to get in position and to wake up and it gave me the help I needed.

Love this setup, honestly having even small help at night is everything in those first weeks!
