Bubs Baby Shop Newsletter – Taking Care of Your Self

As many of you may already know or are soon about to find out, being a parent is one of the toughest, but most rewarding jobs you can have. That is why it is important to take care of yourself to enable yourself to care for your little one.

From my own personal experience as a mum I always seemed to put myself last when it comes to looking after my own health. I was always worrying about everyone and everything before taking any time to care for my own health and well being. However, I have now realised it is my own health that I cannot afford to neglect.

You are the most important person in your bub's life so it's really important that you take good care of yourself. Below are a few points that I have now implemented and recommend that every mum, dad and carer consider as well.

Do not rush to get the housework done - it's not going anywhere
Encourage your partner to take care of your baby, giving you time out
If you are offered help, take it! Or if you need help, ask for it
Rest up while you recover from the birth; as you regain your strength, you can become more active
Try to take a walk in the fresh air. A change of scenery can make you feel like a new person, and your bub will enjoy it too
Take some time out. An occasional short break from your bub whilst they are being cared by someone else will re-energise you and give you a bit of perspective
Try joining a new mother's group - there's nothing better than sharing the joy and the pain with others who are in the same boat
Mums – Do not forget our Pelvic floor exercises.
