I am also taking courses online and I have a 3 week old (almost 4 weeks). It's difficult, I know! I say, nap when he naps and bring a swing or bouncer in the room where you will be studying. As this is my first child, I am very unaware as to how much sleep you or your baby are getting right now. All I know is this is how I am doing it. My boy takes about 3-4 naps during the day, so I take 1-2 naps with him and the other 2 I spend studying. Hope I've helped!

Honey, I wish I knew. I'm a SAHM and I wish I had more sleep myself. It wasn't so hard studying when my daughter was a newborn (I was in a University and graduated when she was 6 months old)... Do you have a support system that could allow you to nap at least once a day? Because you might find that it's more convenient to study when he's napping, so you might not get that chance to relax.
Good luck to you and congrats on continuing your education.

I know how difficult it is as I am also studying for my Master as well as taking care of a newborn baby. Try to work when he is sleeping. If he is staying awake most of the time, train him to sit on his own in his crib or bouncer seat. Try to distract him by hanging mobile on his crib or giving him pacifier.
Multi-tasking is difficult with a newborn around. But you have to try and work it out. Good luck:)

I have no real advice other than try to get your baby on a schedule and make sure you're getting enough rest, but you're amazing! Good for you! Best of luck!

That's nice question ! If you would have more money you would probably hire a babysitter, but it's hard, maybe you should ask your parents to be with your baby while you work.
