Time Out

May 10 (Day 31)

I think every mom agrees that the first weeks after birth are the hardest! But it's even more difficult when you factor in baby blues and insensitive things people say.

Here's my do's and Don'ts for those who are around postpartum mothers. Moms feel free to comment what I missed...😍

Do ...compliment mom before shoving her aside to get to the baby

Do...get mom a present that she can use on herself that has nothing to so with the baby

Do...call before popping by to visit as sleep time can be anytime

Do...call to chat and check on her as baby blues can be a lonely time for any new mom not to mention confusing

Do...offer to come babysit so she can sleep or even get out for some air

Do... Offer to bring some meals

Do...offer Help with the other siblings if there are any

My all time favorite ....

DON'T ....mention that she still looks pregnant...she knows...she has mirrors at her house

Don't ...ask when she going to start working out ... Ever

Don't ...mention how messy the house is ...unless you're there to help clean

Don't ... Make her feel guilty for being so busy with the baby she's not there for you ... She feels guilty enough

DON'T... Ask when the next baby is coming

And finally be supportive and put yourself in her shoes ...the less stress the best and the more love the better

PS - Do...babysit and send pics to mom as she may have separation anxiety...thanks auntie Brandi
