Are you able to latch baby? That will help a lot to save time washing/pumping and way less stressful. I also was home alone with little one and no helper nor family near. I would meal prep the night before, something I could just gentle prepare the next day. Usually I would prepare and eat while baby wearing, when necessary, so I could eat while baby rested. Drink lots and lots of water to maintain milk supply. My hubs helped a lot with house chores and we had a cleaner come in bi weekly. Usually chores were done at night though after baby was asleep. Establishing routine when possible is good. Had our little one in bed around 8 pm. That gave us time to settle chores and prepare for the next day. Take care and you can do this!!
