See Your Body as Your New Superpower- There is so much pressure to ‘bounce back’ post-baby, Our bodies are not the same as they were pre-baby and they shouldn’t be. They are stronger! You created a miracle and your body is remarkable.  treat yourself with more love, patience, and compassion

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

Try Disconnecting Nursing from Sleeping – This will help immensely in getting a baby to sleep without milk

Don’t Be Afraid to Ignore Advice – Everyone will give you advice, solicited or not when you are about to have a baby or have a newborn,

Get Back into Exercise at Your Own Pace- To start, keep your fitness goals small, manageable, and realistic for you. And remember that every bit counts—whether that’s going for a walk with your family or squeezing in a quick naptime workout.

Trust Yourself – Everyone you know will have advice and opinions about how you are raising your baby…However, you are the only real expert on your baby and what he or she may need!

Take a Lot of Pictures You will never regret having too many pictures of your baby!

Don’t Try to Be the Perfect Mother –There is no such thing as being the perfect mother.
