After the first six weeks, you may actually get real work done at home, depending on the baby. Agree with all posters- breastfeeding in the first 6 weeks is relentless and you will get nothing done unless you can scan email with a baby on the breast (this can be done, but I only managed it with number two).

After that, you may or may not be ok- my second took two 3 hour naps a day for several months, which gave me some solid time; my first never would have let me get away with it. For a brief shining moment the baby is old enough to entertain emself for a half hour at a time and can't crawl or walk away, but that doesn't last long. Best, as others have said, not to get your expectations out of line.

Plus, don't cheat yourself of the opportunity to focus 100% on being a new mom for the first 4-6 weeks- I know it is harder if you are a freelancer and don't get the paid maternity leave, but it really is all-consuming at first, which can be a wonderful thing if you can let yourself be consumed and an awful thing if you ask too much of yourself during that period.

good luck!
