My sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby girl! Bundled with joy, excitement and thrilled, it also comes with exhaustion, lack of sleep and guilty. Having the addition member means changing one lifestyle and sacrifice time for the little one.
2 years ago, that's how I felt, when Zoe was borned. I felt stressed and tired until I read in the magazine that as mothers we must have a positive mind, then only we can enjoy the experience. Below are some of my experience as a 1st time mum:
1) Don't feel guilty to get help
Don't feel bad to enroll the help of relatives, friends or babysitter so that new mothers could have some
good rest ( which is important for breast feeding mum)
2) Spend time alone
Arrange for dinner with hubby or friends in one of the afternoon. Spend time to laugh - it helps to calm
you down.
3) Enjoy being with the baby
Importantly, enjoy the company of your newborn. Spend time look at your newborn, talk to your baby-
the bonding can help you to understand your newborn better.
