It’s important we look after our mental and emot It’s important we look after our mental and emotional health during the fourth trimester, here are my top tips to help you get through this stage;⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ✨Ask for help - Trust me mama, you will need help! Whether it’s your partner, friend, caretaker, or a family member, ask someone to stay with you or visit regularly to assist with tasks around the house. The emotional support will also be amazing during this time.⁠ ⁠ ✨Get some rest - This one is easier said than done, but it’ll be so worth it! Sleep when the baby sleeps or ask someone to watch the baby while you have a nap. The extra sleep will help aid your recovery and you will be feeling refreshed and clear headed afterwards. ⁠ ⁠ ✨Be kind to yourself - While your hormones are finding a new rhythm, you may feel very unlike yourself. This typically shouldn’t last much longer than a couple of weeks. Make sure to be kind to yourself during this time. Don’t put pressure on yourself to be doing things or see people when you aren’t up to it. Feel free to eat your favourite comfort food every now and then (it’ll help your soul!). You have just nurtured, grown and birthed a baby, allowing yourself time to heal both physically and mentally is an absolute necessity.⁠ ⁠ ✨Stay hydrated - Your body needs hydration more than ever, especially if you’re breastfeeding! Make sure you’re drinking at least 8 glasses of water throughout the day, to help with overall recovery and swelling. Set reminders on your phone every hour or keep a full water bottle nearby at all times. ⁠ ⁠ ✨Start moving - When you’re feeling ready and have the doctors go ahead, start going for slow walks. It will only be very slow paced and short distance for a little while, but this can be built up over time. Walking is a great way to release endorphins, which will help your mental health, especially after being indoors for most of the day. It will also do wonders for recovery.⁠ ⁠ Have you got any tips that could help a fellow mumma?
Bonding with our newborns is an integral part of o Bonding with our newborns is an integral part of our baby’s development and overall well-being throughout childhood. It’s important for both mum's and partners to understand their baby’s bonding behaviour in order to connect and strengthen the bond. ⁠ ⁠ Your newborn will use body language to demonstrate they want to connect; make eye contact, smile, make little noises and generally look interested by studying mum or dad’s face. Those little coo’s and giggles as bub get’s older, are just so special. ⁠ ⁠ For our partners, however, this bond can take some time - and that’s totally okay. ⁠ ⁠ In my recent blog, ‘5 Ways Your Partner Can Bond With Your Baby’ I discuss easy tips for your significant other to form that special relationship with their newborn. ⁠ ⁠ Be sure to check it out via the link in bio.

I highly recommend swaddles/sleeping bags as a pos I highly recommend swaddles/sleeping bags as a positive, long term sleep association for your little one from birth right through to 2.5-3 years of age.⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ With the weather beginning to warm up down and a variety of TOG rated swaddles/sleeping bags on the market how do you decide what’s right for your little one?⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ Firstly, what does TOG mean?⁠ 👇🏼👇🏼⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade and is a unit of measurement for insulation and warmth of sleepwear and bedding. Essentially, the lighter the fabric the lower the TOG rating. The higher the rating, the more padded and insulated it is to keep your little one warm.⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ How do you know the right TOG to choose?⁠ 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ It is best to choose a suitable TOG based on the temperature of your little one's room.⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ @ergopouch recommends ⁠⠀⁠ 👉🏻 0.2/0.3 TOG between 24 degrees - 26 degrees⁠ 👉🏻 1.0 TOG between 21 degrees - 24 degrees.⁠ 👉🏻 2.5 TOG between 16 degrees - 22 degrees⁠ 👉🏻 3.5 TOG between 14 degrees to 20 degrees.⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ I personally use 3.5 TOG for 80% of the year and adjust their bedtime clothing underneath as I believe that my children sleep better warmer.⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ Swipe to see their What-to-wear Guide 👉🏻 .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #kellymartinsleepconsultant ⁠ #togguidelines #toggrade #OnlyNaturalFibres #ergoPouch #SleepNaturally #babysleep #babysleepconsultant #babysleepexpert #babysleephelp #babysleeptips #babysleeptraining #babytips #babytipsforparents #infantsleep #mindfulparenting #responsiveparenting #sleepconsultant #sleephelp #infantsleepconsultant #babysleepconsultantsleeptips #parentsupport #parentinghacks #parentinglife #motherhoodunplugged #toddlersleepcoach #naptime #infantsleepcoach #babyawaketimes #babysleeptimes

⁠ Sure, I know first hand what it’s like to “survive parenthood”. But having a baby does NOT mean you need to be chronically sleep-deprived long-term...⁠ ⁠ I can’t sugar coat that having a new baby does impact sleep, BUT ongoing sleep deprivation takes away many precious moments with our little ones and impacts on both your and your little one’s health.⁠ ⁠ The best news? I’m here to help! Let’s navigate your little one's sleep journey together and get you back to feeling well-rested.⁠ ⁠ Don’t think of this step as “sleep training” or “giving up” on your little one. Rephrase it to healthy sleep habits for life and this is worth investing in for our little babes ✨⁠ ⁠ Send me a message, I’d love to chat with you more about how I can help. ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #kellymartinsleepconsultant #tiredasamother #mumlifeishard #mumstruggles #mumproblems #lifeasmama #realmotherhood #mumcommunity #motherhoodjourney #postpartumjourney #loadofmotherhood #theeverymum #parentalburnout #parentingishard #selfcompassionjourney #postpartumsupport #postpartummum #stressedmom #stressedout #parentinglife #overwhelmedmom #mummyneedsabreak #mumminainteasy #burnoutrecovery #mumssupportingmums #mumsupport #momentsinmotherhood #postpartumjourney #thisispostpartum #survivingmotherhood
