We’ve officially entered the “distracted nursing” phase. And it’s…. something!

Here’s some tips if you’re in this phase too:
•Go to a dark, quiet room (I know not always ideal but does help)
•Adding in movement, bouncing on a ball, walking around
•Nurse while baby wearing
•Try feedings when baby is going down for a nap or waking up

Remember - your baby should be getting pretty efficient when they are 3-4months and older so it’s possible they have very quick feeds (like less than 5-10min) so don’t be surprised if they only want to latch for a short time. This is developmentally appropriate and expected! They are busy taking in the world around them!

Feeding is nuanced.

And honestly? Most moms are doing far better than they think they are! 🤍

I know, some will say… but those are basic needs. Sure, but for a mom, especially a mom with a baby. IT IS SELF CARE.

“Showering is personal hygiene, which is a baseline daily maintenance task rather than restorative self-care. True self-care involves intentional, restorative actions designed to actively lower stress and recharge your mental or physical well-being.”

BUT what if all I have time for is taking that shower? And what if it does restore me and lower my stress? What if having that coffee while my baby naps in the back seat is the only quiet I get with no one touching me? Can’t that recharge my mental well-being too?

Do you think these are self care? Tell me in the comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️
