As the joy of having the little one diminishes, the challenges of new parenthood crops up. Ask any new parents and they would tell you that journey of pregnancy was quite easier than the parenthood. Some section of new parents sail through this situation with flying colours while other section suffers. This post is all about those little things which causes couples and marriages to fall apart. I have tried to list out few things which can help the couples to smooth things out.
✅ THINGS HE SHOULD/SHOULD NOT DO
1️⃣ Giving birth is not a cake walk. Give the due respect ✊ to your partner.
Husbands should understand that giving birth is not easy, your partner has gone through a lot, it is important to acknowledge that and give her the due respect.
2️⃣ Lower your expectation ✨ Since, she has just delivered a baby 👶 she might not be in a position to fulfil all your demands and hence, she must be given time to heal and recover.
3️⃣ She is not only a mother but a wife too.
A new baby is a bundle of joy and in no time becomes the apple of everyone’s eye but in the meantime we must not forget the one who brought him/her in the world. Don’t make her feel left out, pamper her as much you pamper the baby.
4️⃣ Breastfeeding is not easy. Calling breastfeeding easy is an injustice to the investment women make when they breastfeed. Devoting hours to sustain that little life, it is incredible. Demands empathy and respect. ✊
5️⃣Give her that confidence Back. A new mother goes through a lot of insecurities , stress and self doubt. Give her compliments, tell her she still looks great 👍. This will definitely boost her confidence.
6️⃣ Divide the work and divide the stress.
✅THINGS SHE SHOULD/ SHOULD NOT DO 1️⃣ Why assume when you can ask.
Dear mommies stop assuming things abs don’t expect your partner to read under the lines. If you have problems tell him, don’t expect him to read your mind.
2️⃣Ask for help We know mothers are not less than any superheroes 🦸♀️ but you alone can not do everything so it is important to ask for help.
3️⃣ Get rid of that stress. Get indulge in varieties of activity , do not let you mind wander and stay away from that stress.
4️⃣ Communication. Keep everything transparent. Be open about your feelings , needs, moods. Keep the level of communication smooth.
