Postpartum checklist: The first 6 weeks

How wild is that first 6 weeks?
Hudson is 6 weeks old today (which I cannot believe) and I honestly forgot about the amount of ‘admin’ that comes with having a baby. When you're sleep deprived and suffering from baby brain it can be quite overwhelming; so I thought I’d put together a checklist for all the expecting mummas out there.

Tick them off one by one and remember to pour yourself a cup of tea and breathe when the Centrelink website crash's on you for the 5th time ✌🏻

Let me know if I missed anything off the list?
