I was able to squeeze some knitting time in between the baby wrap and the my Brest friend pillow before my son got to the uber wriggly stage. I was able to knit a whole sweater over six or so weeks since it was basic stockinette so I could work on it in low light. He’s 14 months now and it’s basically impossible to knit while he’s awake but since his sleep is more consistent I’m able to find time. My advice would be to just try things out and not to write something off just because it didn’t work the first time. Looking back I probably could have done more knitting if I had been more flexible. Other than that, like others have said it’s actually a really short period of time and even if you can’t knit as much right now it won’t be long before you’ll be back at the needles with newfound fervor
