As a society, when a baby is born, we all want to support the baby (which is amazing), but we need to not forget about supporting the new mother. She has also endured a huge transition, and will need differing levels of support from the people in her world 💕
So I ask, how are you supporting that new mum in your life?
💭Lending a listening ear can make a world of difference. Sometimes, mothers just need to talk about their experiences, fears, and joys without judgment or advice. Offering empathy and understanding can provide immense relief. Try your best to create a supportive community with her. New mothers can often feel isolated so it’s important to offer connection, but just know she might not take you up on it straight away. She might need time, but it will mean the world to her to know you are there.
💭Practical help is also invaluable. Whether it’s assisting with chores, preparing or dropping off meals, or running errands… this can lighten the load for a new mum who is overcome by learning her newborn baby and might not have a lot of time to tend to the above tasks, so this would be SO appreciated 🙏
