So, go for a small stroll around the park or window-shopping in the nearest mall, with the baby in the pram. You will refreshed at the change of scenery and feel proud when passersby throw appreciative glances at your baby.

 

Motherhood is a big responsibility and sharing it with someone else, say your spouse, friends or family members, is nothing to be ashamed of. You should not feel embarrassed to ask them for a little help, like cooking the food or taking your elder child to the park, while you tend to the baby or get a small nap. When people ask you to call them for help, they usually mean it.

 

It happens many-a-times that after giving birth to their baby, many women forget to take care of themselves. While your baby surely needs lot of care and support, you need to take time out for yourself as well. Make sure to have a healthy diet and sleep as much as you can. Motherhood exhausts your mind as well as your body and you need the food and sleep to replenish your energy levels.

Being comfortable with your own being will help you come closer to the baby also. So, go ahead and enjoy being a strong and multi-faceted person.
