What are some tips for getting enough rest now that i have a small baby?

Get a helper.: Seriously. You need more uninterrupted sleep than a baby is likely to give you, early on. It takes time before a baby can go longer than 3 hours without a feeding, so you need someone else to feed the baby at least once or twice in each 24-hour period. I have heard of women who nurse without quite waking up, but that's dangerous.

Piggyback schedule: Do you realize that from the time you conceived and carried your baby to its appointed miraculous birth, you are a superhero? In order to continue your work successfully you'll need rest (& good nutrition).Try resting when baby rests-piggyback her schedule. Aim for a tidy environment and not an impeccable one to sneak in more rest.Prepare easy meals. Afterall, remember even superheros need rest!
