Amidst the joy of newborn cuddles in the initial days and the fourth trimester, It’s natural to experience a wave of life adjustments and fatigue. Here are our tips for making this period of life adjustment easier:
▪️Accepting help and calling on your village. Whether it’s someone holding your little one whilst you rest, or asking them to tidy a room whilst you cuddle your baby, don’t do the British thing and say I’m fine, accepting the help and don’t be shy to reach out!
▪️Meal rotas - seeing if your friends and family can come up with a meal rota for you and drop round dinner each night, it’s one thing less to worry about
▪️Prioritise rest for yourself, don’t rush out, and it’s okay to say no to people coming over, there is plenty of time for that
▪️Stay hydrated and nourished, now is the time to reach for those healthy foods and vitamins
▪️Have realistic expectations! Baby steps, it gets easier we promise !
