YES to all of this 👏🏽 my biggest tip as a mama of a 10 month old baby is to accept the new season of life, embrace your current circumstances and do life WITH your baby instead of trying to escape. It encourages baby to be flexible with you and provides a positive example. Thanks for the tips! I love your channel ❤
Words of wisdom
THIS IS HUGE! Yes yes yes. Acceptance of my new reality was definitely a thing that I had to undergo, even though I had wanted it so much, it was still such a huge change. I had to adjust by flowing with this new baby in my life vs. trying to live my life like it was before (which can cause a lot of frustration).
Do what feels right- trust your instincts. People will give their unsolicited advice, but at the end of the day, you will still do you. 😊
Oh yes. I feel it 100%
I was after a week alone all day, 5 days a week. With a new born, 3 weeks before he was born my mom died so I was really emotional and on the other hand I didn't had baby blues like some others.
But one tip: Its all a phase. If they arent easy for a few days or seem like they totally changed they are propably having a system update. And after that they will achieve a lot of new skills. Thats so fascinating.
And: they will grow up so fast. So live in the moment even if its tough. Its only a short time that they are so little
And: do everyday something just for you wirhout baby. Even if its 2min to make a tee or just sitting 🙈
My little one is now 7 month old and I cant believe hes alreas so big
I started having my children at 31 and I think I was a more helicopter momma because I was an older momma. I took things very seriously that I noticed younger mommas just breezed through. If you are an older momma just know that although this is a tremendous responsibility it is also something that people have done since time began and did well or you would not be here. 🎉😂 Laugh it truly is the best medicine!
So true! I’m 34 old teacher imagine the responsibility I have felt, insane 😊
Thank you! My partner has struggled after her c section and I’m going to send her this - hearing from another mum that she’s not alone is really important I think. As much as I want to help, shared experiences are definitely the better way to get the message across.
Very good points! Basically: don’t neglect yourself and keep up with your routines even if theyre shorter😍
I have 5 children and can relate so much to this! My youngest is 19 months and sleep is still a struggle along with getting time to myself. It’s hard and you are doing great! Your daughter is so precious!
36 weeks pregnant! Thanks for the tips ❤
These were great tips! I'm on number two now at 7 weeks. With my first experience I so loved my son and loved those early days but I really neglected my needs and didn't know how to ask for help. These tips are really crucial to avoid PPD and just overall have an easier time easing into motherhood! Thanks for sharing
Thank you, it's very hepful !! My little baby is coming is less than 3 weeks !
This is all soooooo good!!! I’m having my second baby in a couple months and these reminders were so good🥰
I utilized the Ontario Early Years Centre. They have lots of drop in programs and scheduled programs from 0-6 y.o. It was a life saver for me. It gave me something to look forward to (getting out of the house) and for my children (different toys and activities) and getting to visit with other parents (socializing) and having experienced staff that could help with questions or concerns and it was free too!
Oh is this the EarlyON centres?! I have one nearby and this is where I plan on going! 😄
@@meghanlivingstone yes! The name has changed since I used it. ☺️
Yes! Love EarlyOn, we go in Guelph!
Thank you so much for this encouragement. I have a two year old and a 4 month old and often feel very alone and this makes me very anxious. Some of these tips are a good reminder for me.
Beautiful video. You are doing a great job ❤
Hi! I am six weeks postpartum. This video SPOKE to me. I also had a C section & healing from it was so rough. You vocalize so much of what I was feeling here. Thanks, girl. ❤
Thank you for making this video and sharing these things 🤍
You are doing great Meg 🥰 The postpartum is an extremely intense moment filled wit mixed emotions, like you describe (I say it as a mom of an older child, as well). I promise things get much better with time 😊, you just have to enjoy this magical moment. Sometimes I wish my son was a little baby again so I can hold him in my arms like in those times. It takes a lot of your energy, yes! so accepting help is really valuable. Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Love the video... post partum self care is essential 💙
Absolutely ❤️
Thank you, this topic is perfect. Looking forward to future topics. I was literally missing you😔. Looking forward to seeing more, as things are starting to "normalise".🥰
Wishing you the best ❤
Thank you so much 🙏 I’m expecting in may and these video are precious
You are so welcome!! And congratulations 💖💖💖
Great Video 🧡
Congrats, Meghan! I’m impressed you’re making videos with such a new baby! Thanks for this: as a parent, it can be tough to think of what takes care of myself and to make the time. Postpartum life is not talked about in the general new baby curriculum so thank you for sharing this.
Hello everyone!
Amazing video ever seriously it's so So Amazing great video hats off 👋
You're voice is so soothing ❤
All good information 👍 👌
I absolutely love these videos. I am not a Mom yet but I really want to be. Thank you so much for all of your help with learning how to detoxify, live healthy, and care for yourself. Thanks for being so down to earth and removing the stigma. I don't know you personally but I love your videos. ❤️
Thank you.. I am crying after hearing “it does get easier”… it’s just so hard sometimes. I’m just having a rough day. Thank you for this!
& yes. All I want is just a moment to myself it’s so true.. me time is like the golden time!! It’s good.
❤️
Amazing video. I don't have a new born, but can remember it like yesterday with my 3 children who are now 17, 12 & 6.
I do think your video will be so helpful to new mums.
Also congratulations on your newborn baby girl
I actually returned to your channel because you helped me a while ago with actually sticking to more healthy eating and habits. So I came here for that.
But can relate to you in many ways.
I'll go look now for the older videos which helped me before
I've been following your channel for a couple years and I was so happy that we were pregnant at the same time. My baby is 6 weeks now and I've loved hearing about your experience and the tips you've picked up so far. This newborn time is so hard but so amazing ❤️
It really can be so so hard! Hope you're doing well!!
If you can - hire a mother’s helper - best decision we made! Made me a much better enjoyable mother 😀
Self Care is so essential that most overlook PP
Lol you really take basic hygiene for granted until you have a baby
I take basic hygiene for granted and I don’t have a baby. It’s called depression
This woman is married to a filthy rich lawyer.
Oh bullshit.
I messaged you on Instagram but you did not answer me 😐
