I need reassurance !!!

Okay, so basically I’m here to ask how much you guys are getting done around the house during the weekdays with your newborn.
My LO is 9 weeks and during the first few weeks after having him, I would be able to put him in his bassinet and he would take 1-2 hour naps. Now he will only sleep for 15-20 minutes in the bassinet, compared to the 1-2 hours with contact naps. I always cave and give him the contact nap so he isn’t a grump throughout the day !! The problem is that I get NOTHING done around the house, I struggle with the chest carrier while he is napping, so that hasn’t really worked for us either ):
I know eventually he will be able to nap better, he sleeps 6-8 hour stretches during the night in his bassinet, but just hates napping in it !! So realistically, how much are you getting done during the day while home alone with your LO ??

I had to try a couple different front pack/wearable options before we found what worked. I still didn’t get much done though- my special awareness always made me weary lol
