The birth of a baby is a long-awaited event. But at this very moment, so many things fall on the family that never happened … Many parents are lost. A lot of doubts and uncertainty appear in my mother, and after them - fatigue, irritability, apathy. Where is joy here?
Instructions
Step 1
Down with perfectionism! The desire to do everything perfectly exhausts and takes away the energy that your baby needs so much now. And there is nothing wrong with the fact that the house is not sterile and not all diapers are ironed. The child does not need an ideal mother, but the most real one - his. With all the advantages and disadvantages.
Step 2
Trust yourself. It is not in vain that nature endowed a woman with a maternal instinct - this is a deep inner feeling and knowledge that your baby needs now. It cannot be replaced by any scientific literature. Biologically, the mother adjusts to the child and is so captured by him that this symbiosis works fruitfully. Now the baby needs such a mother's sensitivity, over time it will weaken and there will be a need for independence. So it's time to enjoy the unity.
Step 3
Awareness and living of change. This is not an easy path for the family - the family builds relationships almost from scratch. Be ready to change, make adjustments to long-established foundations. Do this with your husband, helping and supporting each other. Do not be afraid to ask him for help and delegate those responsibilities that were previously yours - now you have new ones and all the rules can be revised. Trust in caring for the baby - dads may not be agile, but there is certainly not something that they cannot do. And you will have free time.
Step 4
Time for yourself. Don't underestimate it - indulge yourself and find time for relaxation, a change of scenery. Get your family and friends involved. Due to the monotony of what is happening, fatigue comes, every day begins to resemble groundhog day. A change of scenery will give new strength, add energy. Remember that you have a hobby, pay attention to it.
