Sleep
deprivation can often present difficulties for the parents of
a new baby. If
you do not have other children, the old adage sleep whenever
you new baby sleeps is a good one to follow.
Resist the urge to catch up on the housework and
laundry and lie down, even if you don’t fall asleep.
When
you prepare a meal, make enough for two and freeze one in case
you don’t have time to fully prepare from scratch another
day. Keep a good
supply of fresh fruit and vegetables on hand. That way when you are feeding your new baby you can enjoy a
healthy snack yourself. Breastfeeding
moms especially need to remember to drink plenty of extra
fluids. A glass
of fruit juice, water or milk each time you sit down to feed
your new baby should keep you replenished.
Don’t
be shy about accepting offers of help while you attend to your
new baby. If you
have older children a friend or neighbor may offer to have
them over for a play and you and your new baby can have some
precious alone time.
