This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the extra help that others around offer to provide. There are a couple of different ways to go about planning this, and much of it depends on the stage that your baby is in. For instance:
1. If baby can sleep through the night and is bottle fed, then this might be a good time to ask a fellow mom to help out. This creates a nice relationship with another new mom because when she would like her night out, you can return the favor.
2. If baby has health issues, needs breast milk, or still very young, then depend upon a significant other or a grandparent. These people will be better suited to handle the challenges of working with a new born, and they also will not mind if you call a few times to check in.
It is important that new moms get their time with friends. There are days that are stressful, and it is important that you network to find friends and family members that will support you when you need your time. Some experts have suggested that new mothers get one afternoon a week to themselves in order to maintain positive mental health.
