Hey mama! Yes, I’m talking to you! Are you making space for alone time and self care? It doesn’t have to be every day (that seems impossible) or every week, but are you finding opportunities to do the things you love and enjoy? 💫 . I got a massage this week and was reminded as a postpartum Doula and new mom (with a 4 month old) how important uninterrupted self care is. 💫 . Here are just 5 simple reasons (there are so many) why self care is so important during the postpartum period: 💫 . 1.It’s important to take care of yourself for your children and family. . . 2.Reduces stress and leaves you feeling calm and more in control. . . 3.Time to reflect and manage your emotions. . . 4.Renewed energy and a balanced lifestyle. . . 5.Time to relax and have fun independently. . . Mamas, what are your favourite ways to practice self care? 💫

✨How to offer help to a new mom. ✨ The postpartum period or the 4th trimester can be considered the most difficult. A mother’s body goes through intense and extreme hormonal and physical changes, all while adjusting to having a newborn. The baby’s needs are now the top priority. It’s the most critical and yet the most neglected phase. Many aren’t even sure how to support a new mom. Beyond visits and baby snuggles, there are a variety of ways to offer support to a new mom. Gifting food boxes such as @chefsplate or other are helpful to keep a new family nourished during the firsts months with a new baby. Cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, shovelling, and baby care, etc... are helpful ways to offer support. Instead of asking “how can I help?” (most new moms aren’t even sure what they need), ask specific questions like: “can I watch the baby while you nap?”, “what is your favourite meal/snack I can make you?”, “can I do your dishes?”, “can I bring you coffee/tea?”, “what laundry can I do while I am here?”, “if you are having a hard time, do you know you can talk to me about it?”, and the alike. The newborn days can be hard & lonely, but by reaching out and offering specific support you’ll allow a new mom (and family) to feel loved, encouraged, and lifted up.

Mom & baby’s 👩‍👦first ☝️ solo weekender was a success 👏! Daddy may have missed us, but he got sleep 💤 and quiet alone time in exchange. 👌

I read an article titled: “Giving Children Vacations Instead of Toys Can Lead to Advanced Brain Development, Experts Suggest” by Healthy Holistic Living and it couldn’t be more true. “This is because on a family holiday you are exercising two genetically ingrained systems deep in the brain’s limbic area, which can all too easily be “unexercised” in the home. These are the PLAY system and the SEEKING system.” We will always favour experiences over stuff and it’s incredible to see how quickly our little guy is advancing, especially while we are traveling . Anyone else choosing a life to have stories to tell rather than stuff to show ? https://www.healthy-holistic-living.com/giving-children-vacations-instead-of-toys-can-lead-to-advanced-brain-development-experts-suggest/
