How To Deal With Baby Blues?
Now comes the million dollar question. How to deal with so many things and still have a wonderful life? Well, as tough as it is to experience baby blues, the simpler are its solutions. The first and foremost thing that new mothers have to do is confront and accept themselves. Confront their feelings and act according to their instincts, this the simplest thing they can do. For example, if they feel like crying, they must cry their heart out. They must vent out their feelings of anxiety, frustration and stress. For this, they may need the help of their husband, parents, friends and acquaintances. It’s the family and friends’ duty to stand by the new mom and help her out of it. Secondly, these new moms need to put sleep and health on their priority list after the baby’s needs. Very often, mothers tend to forget to take care of themselves while looking after the baby, so much so that even when the little angel is enjoying a wonderful sleep, these mums tend to caress their baby or wash its clothes or handle other chores. At such times, on the contrary, they are expected to sleep, or at least take short naps. This will help them regain the energy that they have lost. Eating the right food stuff also helps. New mums must have nutritious food that is not only good for the baby but also for their own well-being.
Last but not the least, dealing with baby blues is quite similar to dealing with mild depression. In both cases, a person feels low and dejected. The best way to handle such a situation is to think highly of oneself and love oneself to the core. New mothers must understand the fact that they have given birth to another living being and that is the biggest miracle they could do. They must thank themselves for having done this miracle and feel proud about themselves. They must enjoy their life as they want to, talk to people, go for walks to the nearest park (only upon the advice of a medical professional) and have a wonderful time with the baby.
