I heard some say "now that you’re a mom you'll be lucky to
get out of your pj’s before your partner gets home." True that sister! I
find myself giving myself a pat on the back if I change before noon. Who knew
that brushing your hair and eating breast fast could be such a hard task, let alone
cleaning and laundry?
Some tips to getting a routine that includes your own self hygiene as well as
your babes: (this will get easier as your babe grows and begins to have more of
a routine)
·
Have a quick or already prepared breakfast the night
before- like a smoothie prepped in the fridge or apple one hand for the first
feeding in the morning. So when your babe eats you can fuel yourself as well.
·
Your baby will survive if you take an extra minute
to brush your teeth after using the rest room.
·
Before going to bed
clean one thing like your bathroom sink/ or putting dishes in the
dishwasher/ or put in a load of laundry in
·
Prioritize your to do list- plan every day of the
week to do the bigger chores
Now breastfeeding is perfectly normal and should not be a taboo.
Women should be proud of breastfeeding but it seems as though society has made
it seem like it’s dirty to do in public. As a new mom breast feeding in public
can be intimidating. There are many clothing and camisoles to increase confidence
when breastfeeding and not exposing the whole world your body. I find once I was comfortable in feeding my
baby in general I felt more comfortable in trying to complete this task in
public without having the fear of flashing an old grandpa my boob, or having my
mommy deflated tire exposed for half the food court to marvel at. Now I can,
almost, find the humor in people walking by and at the last minute realizing
that they were looking at my inconspicuous breast feeding ways. Some people’s reaction is funnier than
others- I have had many reactions the best is when the look like they have seen
a jack-in-the-box for the first time and actually stutter step and almost bolt
in the other direction.
Have fun and
good luck with juggling life with baby J
