Mums help !!!😭🥺🥺

I seriously need encouragement and advice mums how do you find time for yourself, now with a baby time is very limited the way I use to take care of myself it's not the same and I'm gaining weight, can’t do my hair, can dress well its like everything is going left and I still want tobe able to take care of my baby without forgetting myself. Any advice?

1. Don't worry that it's just you. It's such a common new mum problem! Give yourself some grace and don't worry if you don't meet your usual high standards. 2. My partner and I each give each other half a day off from childcare at the weekend - is that something that might work for you? It gives a nice stretch of time for some self-care.

In a way this is the hardest part if finding out who you are now that your mummy as well as yourself and finding that balance you'll figure it out in time but maybe try with small time like 30 mins or an hour if baby allows it of course and do small self care then you'll get into a rhythm 😊 you got this ❤️

This is all so normal to start with :) my bubba goes to sleep at 8pm so that’s when I’ll wash my hair, watch a film etc .. during the day I strap him into his bouncer whilst I get ready and do my skincare/makeup etc and give him a crinkly toy to play with .. during the day I’ll be too focussed on him and sometimes I find i haven’t even drunk any water! It all takes time and you just need to find ways to still do things for you xx

Soooo normal till we understand their wants and need i found doing the morning bottle and when he went back to sleep sitting him in his seat where i could see him and he would be asleep id jump in the shower wash and dry my hair and make up etc and i learned to do it fast incase lol i used naps alot of the time to do things but also used nap time to rest myself too x
