A pregnant woman is looking forward to the baby. She buys beautiful things for him, listens to blows in the tummy, eats right. But often the expectant mother does not know what awaits her after the birth of the child.
During pregnancy, the upcoming life seems cheerful and joyful, the child is sweet and calm. A woman dreams of how her husband will help her, imagines how great it will be to walk and play with her child, and at night the whole family will peacefully snuffle after a hard day.
In fact, everything is somewhat different: the child cries for days and nights, constantly requires breasts, the husband disappears at work, and at home there are a lot of outstanding tasks, which significantly increased with the appearance of crumbs. Against the background of such stress, women develop postpartum depression, and the child can begin to cause only bad emotions. How to awaken the maternal instinct in yourself, how to love your little one?
Good sleep and calm
In the first months, the baby often wakes up at night, but mom needs to get enough sleep to avoid a bad mood and well-being. Do not try to do all the chores around the house, they still do not redo them. Better sleep with your baby during the day. This will give you strength, energy will be restored, and the problems will no longer seem insoluble.
At night, put the baby to sleep with you, it not only brings you closer, but also gives you the opportunity to sleep.
If you feel that you are breaking down, leave your child with dad or grandmother, and take a walk in the fresh air yourself. So you calm down, pull yourself together, and during your absence you will have time to miss the baby and want to spend time with him.
Transfer part of household duties to your husband, and try to devote more time to the child. The less he cries, the more you will admire him, be touched, observe behavior, and this will greatly help develop maternal instinct.
