Relaxation Tips for the Exhausted Mom

Having a new baby is a blessing and joy that cannot be compared to anything else in the world. With the birth of a child, parents enter a new phase of life and in spite of all the positives that come with it, the job of being a parent is also a very trying and exhausting one. A newborn baby will need constant attention from his/her mom for the next few years and those sleepless nights and stressful days will eventually catch up with you if you don’t relax every chance you get. In order to help you do just that, we have prepared the following list of stress-busting tips.

Sleep

The most basic, as well as the most important tip to bust stress and relax, is to sleep every chance you get. Don’t worry about the hours; just sleep whenever you can. You could align your sleeping habits with that of your baby for the first few months, ensuring that you don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night exhausted and irritated when the baby starts to cry.

Comfort

Irrespective of the steps you take, being a mum is going to be a stressful job, especially during the early months. Therefore, it makes sense that the house you are living in is as comfortable as possible for both the baby and you. If the weather is cold, buy a suitable heating appliance such as Reina Radiators to keep your family warm. If it’s too hot, make sure the indoor air-conditioning is keeping things cool.

Take Small Breaks

It could be a 15-minute stroll in your local park or a micro reading session by yourself, but you need that break. We are not talking about having your child with you and taking a stroll, but actual alone time. This can, however, only happen when your partner is home and available, or if you have a close friend or relative who can help you take that much-needed break. If you just can’t find enough breaks in-between due to a lack of people to help you, it might be time to make a call to the baby’s grandmother!

Noise-blocking Headphones

We recommend wearing these ONLY when you are with the baby. You need to be able to hear your child’s crying from a distance to know how he/she is doing, but once you are carrying the baby in your arms, it might be a good idea to use noise-blocking headphones so that the constant crying doesn’t get to you. Hearing a bit of isolated music while taking care of your little one can actually help you reduce stress, which often builds up from hearing the baby cry all the time.

Attend to your Needs

It could be physical or psychological, but becoming a parent doesn’t make your needs magically disappear. You will, of course, have to curb them and settling for less will become the norm for the first few years, but once the initial phase of childbirth is over, it is time to tend to some of those needs as well.

Stress cannot be completely avoided and that’s okay because it’s only natural and comes with the territory. However, once you let that stress build up, mood swings, irritability, and fights with the people closest to you become common symptoms. The key is in busting stress and relaxing before things get out of control, rather than doing damage control.
