    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 ❤

      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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

Thanks for being so down to earth and removing the stigma. I don't know you personally but I love your videos. ❤️

    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
