Here are a few clever ideas on how to claim your life back while having a newborn
1. Let Your Child Sleep While Eating Dinner
Just when everybody is already sitting next to the table for dinner, your baby wants to sleep. Normally that means one of the parents is going to miss his family dinner and eat alone later.
This way you can keep eating dinner and enjoying your family time while your newborn is sleeping without anyone needing to skip their dinner.
2. BBQ Fence

Fencing the BBQ area from your kids reach is a great idea and it send your child a clear message to stay away from the hot grill.
3. Monthly Doctor Visit
Your child has a fever again, so another visit to the doctor it is. Especially while sick, children need to keep busy while resting or the day can become a nightmare in a matter of second.
