My little one is 10 months old. I’ve found kindle books (or other ereaders) much easier to read because I have less to hold while breastfeeding/snuggling.
Looking for post-partum light reading, I picked up Twilight. I’m smart but I was so out of it in those first few years, er, sorry, weeks!, (no, years…), it might as well have been Ulysses. 😉
Have you read Ongoingness by Sarah Manguso? It’s a perfect postpartum read. Short, but intense, all about diary keeping and how having a baby shifts things around. That and “The Folded Clock” by Heidi Julavits have been my favourite books since having a baby in January.
Be kind to yourself, it seems utterly reasonable that you can’t do much at all right now. Also, kiss that baby’s little fingers for me please….
