Welcome to Self-Care Tips for New Moms post, if you are a new mom, a young mom, or whichever age mom you are. I am here to talk to you about taking care of yourself, and how would that affect the next generation. We all agree that childbirth is one of the hard things that we go through.
Here are few Self-Care Tips for New Mom’s:
Grace Yourself
Grace yourself sometime of the day admire yourself and your body and feel good about yourself. Being a new mom and figuring out how life is and what would work for you takes time and you shall learn as you go. We might look tired and messy and embrace that mess! You are doing a great job and no one apart from you would do it any better for your kids! Look at yourself in the mirror and just feel amazing about yourself, and how you have created the beautiful humans who came from you! Mother or not a mother, no one is perfect we all should Feel Perfect! Do not go by social media ya’ll.
Have Good Nutritious Food:
Our elders say this to us so often! “Eat good healthy food, what you eat now gives you good health that will help you a lot” That is true right?! Eating right matters a lot, no matter new mom or not. I personally loved the dry fruits laddu!
Have a Good Sleep:
I know I know, phases like ‘sleep when the baby sleeps’ is not applicable in real life. No matter new mother or no, we all have our duties to do, be it home chores or other. And the only time we get to complete them is while kids sleep. But the night sleep is very crucial! Avoid spending time with phone while the baby is done for the day.
Have positivity around:
Family is always the backbone of you when you are in need. They are always the positive vibes that matter. Have happy talks and just don’t stress much on what would happen later on. all the if’s and but’s are there in life. but it depends that, if you wanted to affect them on your today as a new mom.

February 12, 2024A new Mom’s life can be topsy-turvy. Within a day of the birth of the baby, the sleep schedule, the meal time, the body … in short everything changes. It is a timely reminder that self-care and positivity should never be forgotten.
Neeta Kadam
February 12, 2024Being a mom and handling your baby is quite difficult to take care of self. There will be very little time left for us and that time also we get too much tired to do. It happened with me till date from new born day. Still somedays I am trying to look good for myself ????

February 12, 2024I wish all the new moms a lot of good care. It is not easy to give birth to a child and take care of the baby and raise good kids. Perhaps, the most difficult task in the world.
Cindy DSilva
February 12, 2024Sleep is most important, at least for me. This should be drilled into some women as many don’t take this seriously because they have a whole lot of other things to do too.
Pamela Mukherjee
February 12, 2024My sister is a new mom, and I must say that good food and good sleep are important for new moms. She is working in the morning, and at night, the baby awakens her, which is why she is losing her appetite day by day. I will pass this on to her so that she can at least take a little care of herself.
Kaveri Chhetri
February 12, 2024A new baby means sleepless nights, constant stress, overwhelming emotions, fear and so many other difficulties for the new mum. Although your post is short and simple Sadvika, it just about hits the bull’s eye. If a new mum is aware of and consciously practices whatever uv mentioned.. she is on the right path.
Sakshi Varma
February 12, 2024Sleep and nutrition are key in the early and even going forward. Very important to have a supporting and caring family around.

February 12, 2024I’m not a mom, but these tips are still super relatable. Who doesn’t need a reminder to eat better and get more sleep, right? Thanks for the reminder to take care of ourselves, no matter where we’re at in life!
Docdivatraveller
February 12, 2024I feel that I am still stuck in the new born phase. I have been neglecting myself for the past 10 years. It’s high time that I take my life back in control. Thanks for the reminder.
Kanchan Singh
February 12, 2024As a fellow mom, I absolutely resonate with these self-care tips! It’s so important to give ourselves grace during this demanding time. Embracing the messy moments and finding beauty in our bodies post-birth is a journey, but it’s one worth taking. And you’re right, social media can paint a skewed picture of motherhood – it’s all about finding what works for you and your little ones.
Sivaranjini Anandan
February 12, 2024No one is perfect and everyone needs to feel perfect that is a great statement to remember not just for moms but for each one of us.

Harjeet Kaur
February 12, 2024As a mother, balancing caring for your baby and self-care can be challenging. There’s often very little time and energy left for ourselves. I’ve experienced this when my baby was born, I was 20 and found it a huge responsbility with minimum knowledge of motherhood, 40 years ago.,
Madhu Bindra
February 12, 2024Back in our time, we didn’t know about self-care because we were so busy taking care of the child. I had the luxury of having a very supportive family. It was very difficult for those that did not.
Swati Mathur
February 12, 2024Positivity can come with a great support. And if your family is with you when you are going through such a drastic change in your life things become easy. And yes no one understands you more than you yourself, so embrace everything that comes with becoming a mother and enjoy this new journey.
Ishieta
February 12, 2024Good points for new moms, who i think forget to prioritise themselves as they get into handling their new roles. I agree that positivity is actually very important and an underlying aspect to the well-being of a new mom.
Varsh
