Hi Liz! Congratulations on getting to 4 weeks! You
might also post on Facebook - sometimes that gets more
responses. But here are my thoughts! My twins are 4.5
months, and I've been solo during the day since they
were about 2.5 months. Since you'll be by yourself
during the day, it's awesome that you can have a night
doula regularly to be more rested! That's a great
start. I had someone tell me to go with the EAT plan
for the day and I found it a helpful model: Eat (them),
Activity (them), Time (for you, while they nap). At
that age, an activity is basically anything - tummy
time, a walk, "exercises" (lie on their backs and I
move their legs and arms in different ways) and
massage, just wrapping them both in a wrap (I used a
Moby) and walking around the house singing and
dancing/bouncing (or doing chores is good too). I found
getting out of the house once a day is really important
for my sanity. Someone advised me to have my husband
prep breakfast for me before he leaves, and that was
really helpful too. Even if he just put fruit & granola
in a bowl and then I added the milk when I was ready -
otherwise I would put off eating for too long.Good
luck! It might be hard at first, but it will get
easier!!Laura
