To all the incredible new moms out there, congratulations on the arrival of your precious bundle of joy! The journey of motherhood is undoubtedly a beautiful and fulfilling one, but amidst the whirlwind of caring for your little one, it’s crucial to remember to prioritize yourself. After giving birth, your body and mind require extra care and attention, as you embark on this new chapter of your life. So here are 6 ways that we want to share with you to prioritize yourself as a new mom. Make sure to save it so you can always remind yourself.

It’s okay not to be okay

As a new mom, you’re already taking on so much responsibilities. You have to acknowledge that we only have 24 hours a day, and you need to take care of your baby, take care of yourself, do chores, sleep…etc. Remember not everything is your responsibility, saying no can help you reduce stress and live a more emotionally balanced life as a mom.

Talk to yourself as nicely as you talk to your baby

Let’s face it, we all make mistakes. We all end up in situations that highlight just how human we are. Mistakes like this will happen over and over again, throughout our lives, and there is nothing we can do to avoid them. We can, however, avoid the negative ways we often react to these situations. And that’s what I’d like to focus on today: Self-talk – the one trick that changes everything – and the two steps we can take to teach our children to avoid falling into the trap of self-defeating inner criticism.

Prioritise: extra sleep, read, organize

While your brain cells get a good scrubbing during sleep, the memories and things you learned throughout the day also get organized. Reading, and organizing things also do similar things – your thoughts get to wander, and relax your intense soul. Even a short 10 minutes can make a whole difference!

Remember it isn’t your job to carry the emotional weight of the adults around you

The only thing you have to care about during this phase is to take care of yourself and your baby, focus on yourself and your baby, and let people deal with their problems.

Invest in good-quality postpartum / nursing products

Good-quality nursing bras, postpartum belly bands, and other motherhood products can make your postpartum journey smoother and more comfortable:

Postpartum belly band

Wearing a good-quality postpartum belly band can not only speed up your recovery but can also let you focus more on your mental health without feeling the pain of any wounds or uncomfortableness after giving birth. Mamaway’s postpartum belly band is made of medical-grade material and is stretchable enough to accommodate all different figures, the extra two straps are able to give you that double compression, which can also speed up the recovery process.

The whole pregnancy journey is really like keep on Googling, “Is ______ normal?” for 9 months. Yes, our body changes a lot during this time, but always contact your personal doctor if you feel not sure about your body!
