5 tips for new moms

by Kara

When I became a new mom, I was extremely overwhelmed and it took me a good 3 months beforere I finally felt like myself again. Here are 5 tips for new moms that really helped me get out of my funk:

1. Take Care of Yourself: It's essential to prioritize self-care. Ensure you're eating well, staying hydrated, and getting as much rest as possible. A happy and healthy mom is better equipped to care for her baby.

2. Accept Help: Don’t hesitate to accept help from family and friends. Whether it's someone cooking a meal, watching the baby for a bit, or helping with household chores, accepting assistance can alleviate stress and give you some much-needed breaks.

3. Trust Your Instincts: You know your baby better than anyone else. Trust your gut feelings when it comes to their needs and wellbeing. While advice from others can be helpful, your instincts are usually right.

4. Establish a Routine: Babies thrive on routine, and establishing one early can make things smoother for both you and your baby. Try to create a consistent schedule for feeding, sleeping, and playtime.

5. Connect with Other Moms: Joining a new mom's group or connecting with other moms online or in your community can provide valuable support and advice. Sharing experiences and tips can be reassuring and help you feel less isolated.
