Check out the screen time log for fresh parents. I remember the first few months being so crazy. Feedings every two hours, and each feeding took an hour. But still time for naps, short walks, etc. part of the survival was to work in little microbreaks when the baby was sleeping. | ||||||||

Huge difference between constantly being in passive alert mode waiting for the kid to wake up and cry their heart out, and proper uninterrupted “I know have x minutes for myself, no matter what” time. | ||||||||

I've never read as much on my kindle as when my son was born. I didn't want to use my phone so any micro break was spent reading. Much harder to do now that my son is 4 years old, I'm less sleep deprived but there's less opportunities for micro breaks when I'm with him. | ||||||||
