homeschooling with a newborn 👩🏽‍🍼📓 When I was pre homeschooling with a newborn 👩🏽‍🍼📓

When I was pregnant, the thought of homeschooling with a newborn made me nervous. I didn’t know how I was going to balance my time. But by the grace of God, homeschooling and adjusting to the newborn stage has been going well. Our days are NOT perfect and some days are rough, but we’re getting it done! Here’s what has been helping us successfully homeschooling with a newborn:

🌸I’ve been using the Wild Bird baby wrap! Baby boy is comfy and sleep when he’s wrapped. So during that time I’m able to teach.

🌸we’re prioritizing reading and math for a couple months. Reading.com has been a great resource and we use The Good and the Beautiful curriculum for math. Also we keep the lessons short. 

🌸we took a couple weeks off from homeschooling to just focus on adjusting as a family of 5. Give yourself grace during this time. 

🌸we get outside daily for stroller walks. During this time I can review what we’re learning. Also getting outside has been so refreshing being postpartum! 

🌸 I have the mindset that this is just a short season of the newborn stage. Our homeschool days look different and that’s okay #postpartum #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmomlife
