Sarah Peck suggests blocking one week each month, usually the fourth, as meeting-free time for new parents. She avoids teaching and commitments that week because newborns mean someone in the house gets sick roughly once a month.

Pick one week of the month to schedule no meetings. One week. For me, it's the fourth week. And obviously, there might be some breaks, right? You might have some. But for the most part, I do no teaching. I do nothing the fourth week of the month. The reason for that is because, as a new parent, you are going to have so many viruses enter your household.
Oh my God, we can do a whole new episode on getting sick. Oh
my God, you will get sick once a month.
