Some tips for new parents

Becoming parents is a big change in life.

Our entire organization, our entire daily life is turned upside down. We are completely focused on this little being who has just been born... So much care for our little bundle of joy that we would even come to forget ourselves!

Many parents have difficulty reconciling their life as parents , their life as a couple and simply their personal life .

Here are some tips that we can give to young parents.

Tip #1: Rest when your little one sleeps

The first few nights, your baby will wake up several times and obviously won't fall back asleep easily sometimes (it wouldn't be fun otherwise). Your sleep will then be cut short and you can say goodbye to morning graces . That's why you'll have to adapt to your little heart's sleep . Forget your housework and go to sleep during these quiet moments. Take as many naps as possible to recover as you can.

Tip #2: You are a team, take turns

Stay united , share the tasks as much as possible, take turns when one or the other gets tired. Take turns getting up at night, or organize yourself as it suits you best so that everyone can free up time and also so that everyone can enjoy your newborn .

Tip #3: Stay in shape

Don't neglect yourself just yet. You had a child, but you had a life before too . Continue to take care of yourself , to move, to do sports. For your body but also for your morale , it is important to move. Practicing sports releases endorphins and thus causes a feeling of well-being . Go for a walk, go for a light jog, go swimming etc...

Tip #4: Accept help

Very often out of pride we refuse to receive help from our loved ones. We want to manage on our own, to show that we too are capable! But I might as well tell you right away: of course you are capable but you will not be perfect parents ! Simply because it is not possible. No one is. You will make mistakes, and that is completely normal!

If you feel like you are losing your footing, that you are too tired, that you are having difficulty with certain tasks, just ask for help ! It will do you the greatest good and those around you will be delighted to help you . Being a parent is not easy, it is trying and above all it is something you learn . This is why it is essential to ask for help , to accept the support of our loved ones . Let your little heart enjoy his grandparents, his uncles or aunts.

Create wonderful memories, simply discover yourself as parents!
