    Here's a few ideas that might help:

    1. Put toddler in a play pen or crib so you can rest. Get him out once an hour or so.
    2. Block off rooms so they won't get messy.
    3. Better yet "live" in one room until you heal. Keep all your supplies like diapers, wipes, dry snacks & drinks (with lid) in a nearby basket.
    4. Start a routine of resting 45 minutes & then doing one thing for 15 minutes, like fixing food, or clean ONE small thing if you must.
    5. Read books to your toddler or have a basket of toys nearby for him to play with while you rest.
    6. If possible get some help! :)

    Your body needs rest in order to heal so can take care of your little ones. @homebirthadvocate is right, it will take longer if you don't rest.

    I commend you for all the hard work! You are a trooper, but please rest! :)

    And congrats on your new little one!

    We are built for this, but you need to heal so you can get back to being Super Mommy! Just remember, babies sense stress.
