Postpartum- Dealing with Overwhelm After Baby
August 18th, 2008
Isn’t it funny, before you had a baby you felt like there was a lot to do, and now there REALLY is a lot to do! It can be truly overwhelming, especially if you’re a first time mom, your baby is an infant and he or she is nursing. The key to reducing overwhelm is to carve out periods of time just for you. Even if you read a book, paint your toe nails, or take a nap while baby is napping, it’s for you! Just know that everyone needs “me time”, and that by taking some me time at least once a day you’ll be a better mom. You’ll have more patience, have less stress, and experience more joy. So put down your to “do” list and get some me time!
