9 lessons I learned my first month mom’ing
04/01/2023
I firmly believe we are the experts of our lived experience
AND we aren’t really hyped up to see ourselves that way
merp
i don’t remember what I was told to expect as a new mom, I feel like I’ve lived so many lifetimes since then
and you likely feel the same way too
I bet you have some lessons learned that make you the greatest parent for your little one, so why not take a moment to recognize your badassness, take up some space, and be your full ass self
I’ll go first! During my first month of caring for my baby AND myself, I learned:
- have a diaper caddy on each floor
- ask a friend to coordinate mealtrain
- let go of control, aim to connect
- sleep isn't the only way to rest
- ask questions early and often
- believe that you're doing a good job
- frustration happens, forgive yourself
- you get to decide what selfcare is
- celebrate any and all wins & POOPS
What are your lessons learned?!
Here’s a sneak peak of page 16 of the Body, Bottle, Breast Digest where you can see my lessons learned and celebrate your own!
With love and liveliness,
Lori
