Connect with people that will provide support and encouragement
• Gather your village around you! Engage with people that will be able to listen and respond to your needs. Remember, when people come over you are not responsible for entertaining them. They are there to help you - let them! • Consider making a list of things friends & family can do to help you while they are visiting. • Be intentional about spending some time with your partner. • Connect with parenting support groups, breastfeeding support groups, church groups, on-line groups or any other communities that can relate to your experience and provide support. • Reach out to medical providers, lactation consultants, mental health providers if you need some questions answered or some additional support. No one expects you to do this on your own!
Take in your new life day by day. Be kind to yourself!
