Doing it now with eight week old
Single parenting a newborn has been awesome! I can't wait to have another baby and do this again. And frankly, compared to the other mom's I meet to are co-parenting I think I have it WAY easier as a single lady. We co-sleep, and because it's just the two of us, if she's been up late we just keep sleeping in the morning. OR we go to bed early if I'm pooped. I don't have to worry about any one else's schedule or sleep patterns so I can truly sleep when the baby sleeps.No one is bothered if I let the house get dirty for a few days! I newborns are so portable that it's easy to moby her around town to baby yoga, mom's groups and art openings. I'm not lonely, and much more rested than other new mothers.
Beyond that, because it IS the two of us it's had a really good affect on the bonding. She's starting to really attach is a healthy wonderful way. Not only is this doable, it can also be FUN!
