It's really hard when you have a DH that works away from home Another thing is to make sure you eat as well as you can - try to limit highly processed foods and make sure you get your 2 and 5 of fruit and vege each day. I know how hard it can be to cook when your DH isn't home and you have 4 little ones, so make the most of him being home on weekends and cook up a heap of meals to freeze for you and the kids to have during the week and maybe invest in a slow cooker - one of the best things ever invented for time-starved tired mums, so come meal time all you have to do is either reheat a frozen meal or just serve a slow cooked meal. It makes a huge difference to how you feel at the end of the day if you don't have to cook each night.
Even just cutting up and preparing snacks for the older ones early in the day can really help too - especially if you're really putting the effort into BF - that way they can help themselves to snacks while you BF bub.
