Pregnancy most often ends with a pleasant moment - the appearance of your miracle. From this event, your life changes dramatically, and in order not to get tired and not to be irritated by the whole world around you, you need to learn to be a mother. The calmness of the child depends on your mood. And, as a rule, your nervousness will worry the child. And his crying will make you angry over and over again. And so in a circle. Therefore, become a calm and balanced young mom.
Breastfeed
Breastfeeding is considered beneficial for the baby, because mother's milk contains a large amount of various trace elements that help the baby to grow and develop. For moms, breastfeeding also brings many pleasant moments. During feeding, a young mother will easily lose extra pounds with the usual menu or simply will not gain extra pounds. Breastfeeding emotionally brings mother and child closer together, it also affects the formation of the baby's nervous system. In addition, breastfeeding saves your family budget: you do not need to spend money on formula milk.
Sleep together
The child does not need a tired and twitched mother. And if at night you will get up to the baby more than once (and breastfeeding requires it), then you will not get enough sleep at all, and during the day you will be sleepy, irritated and angry. Sleep with your baby, then at night you just have to wake up for a couple of seconds, give the baby a breast and fall asleep together again. Of course, pediatricians are categorically against sleeping together. This is because you may accidentally lie on top of your baby while sleeping. But most mothers, with the birth of children, begin to sleep quite sensitively, and hear crying.
Do household chores with your child
Children's stores are full of various tools for the independence of the baby. Take advantage of them. While your little one is swinging on a swing or in a chaise longue, while he is interested in bright toys on the play mat, you will have time to iron the clothes, wash the dishes or vacuum. Even an ordinary stroller will come in handy, because you can put a child in it by hanging rattles over him or turning on children's songs for him. While rocking your baby in the same stroller, you can stir porridge or soup on the stove. With an older baby, it becomes even more interesting in the kitchen. You can put him in a highchair, give him safe cutlery, show vegetables and talk about them. Your child will be interested in spending time with you in the kitchen while you cook.
Take care only of yourself while the child is sleeping
While your baby is sleeping, take care of yourself. Leave all unfinished household chores, they will not disappear anywhere. Give yourself a spa: take a bath, apply a mask to your face, and groom your hair. Or plunge into your creativity: tie something nice, draw, watch a movie. And if you want to sleep, lie down next to the baby. Make it a rule not to do household chores while your baby is sleeping. This way you will not have the feeling that you have completely abandoned yourself and your hobby.
Eat together
When the child is older and is eating complementary foods, eat with him. Put food for him and for yourself. Sit down at the common table and eat. It is important for the kid to see the actions. This way he will learn to chew and become interested in the spoon. After lunch, you do not need to rush to put your child to bed for a quiet hour, because you have not eaten and are hungry.
Walk in a sling
The sling is convenient because the baby is always in the mother's arms, but at the same time, the mother gets tired of the weight less. Walking in it, you know for sure whether the baby is cold, hot for him or just right. Sling brings mom and child together emotionally, you can walk and chat, talk and show the interesting world around. The undoubted advantage of this device is that in it you will pass anywhere: all shops, museums, exhibitions and even buses, crowded with people, are open for you.
Talk a lot, especially about your feelings
This is perhaps the most important point. When a young mother is tired and morally ill, she wants to cry, lie down, but she stubbornly "holds her face" in front of the child. The kid is as much a living person as mom and dad, with age he will begin to understand feelings. But do not restrain yourself with a child. Talk to him about your feelings, be it joy or happiness, resentment or grief. Ask the matured child about his feelings when he learns to speak or show with gestures. Such revelations will teach your baby not to hide anything, but to be open and not ashamed of his feelings. This is especially true if you have a small man.
