How to care for yourself if you have a child

A child is a great love and a great responsibility. For some it is slave labor, for someone a pleasant pastime. Unfortunately, in our time there are "strong" women who do everything themselves. It's very hard for a young mother to cope with everything at once, but you want to look attractive in the eyes of others! It is not so difficult to achieve a good appearance, it is enough just to develop and practice a certain pattern of behavior.


First, do not refuse to help someone: a husband, grandparents, close friends, especially if they have experience in caring for a child. It is not necessary to consider it as something topless, since two or three hours will not take away many people from those who wish to help. And get out an extra hour, take a shower, rest morally. Moreover, do not consider it shameful to ask for help. You are also a person, you have certain needs.

When you and your child are discharged from the hospital, most of the time the baby sleeps, and will continue to sleep most of the day for several more months. Let this benefit you. The very first thing you should do is take care of your figure. After childbirth, most of them lose weight problems.

Remember! The norm during pregnancy is a set of weights not exceeding 15 kg!

If you have no contraindications, then exercise. Any. Kachaitepress, squat, do yoga - now everything will be good. Moreover, now is the most optimal time for physical activity, physical loading will help to reduce stress, and the baby does not have the opportunity to be injured due to your incorrect movement, because soon he will start moving around the apartment.

If the weather allows you to walk in the fresh air with a baby - walk. Do march-throw long distances: visit stores, visit friends and relatives. Do not be lazy, go fast or at least close to it. If the winter is winter with an acceptable temperature for walking, then this is generally fine. Is it hard for you to walk in the snow in the winter? And now you are pushing a huge wheelchair! Be of good cheer!

Attention! Do not overdo it! If you feel unwell or too overworked, postpone physical exercises until tomorrow!

The likeness of the baby will also help you to establish proper nutrition. If the child is breastfeeding, then you are already following a certain diet, if not, then minimize the intake of carbohydrates and fats (but do not remove them, they are needed by the body!), Eat foods rich in protein, fiber, take vitamins.

Important! Try to eat at the same time as the baby, except, of course, the night time.

Eatenemnogo. Let it be half of that portion that you could eat earlier and eat at certain intervals. It will be ideal if you adjust your nutrition to the feeding regime of the baby, that is, if you eat it every three hours, as a result your stomach will get used to producing gastric juice strictly the same time, so you will not feel hungry.

Take a shower for many mothers - it's something from the realm of fantasy. We'll have to wait for her husband to work, feed him and then, maybe, he, grumbling, will let you go in the room. Learn to do without help. How? Just.

Remember! A child is not an excuse for a bad appearance of the mother!

If you have a small portable cradle, a compact maneuver or a children's chaise longue with fixing straps, that's fine. Carry your lifeboat in the bathroom room, put the baby there and bathe. He is in front of your eyes, at any time you are ready to help him. In addition, the child will breathe a moist air that will revitalize its mucous membranes. There is nothing wrong with this, just try to use detergent without a smell.

If your child is already holding and slobbering toys, give him his washable toys for the purchase. Play with him in "Ku-ku! Who is there? ", Peeping out from behind the screen, sing a song to the little guy. Let this procedure be a fun game for the kid. Such games can be held even several times a day, if the child is in the mood. This is especially important in the summer, when after a few hours in the heat you turn into a foul-smelling incubator for microbes.

Important! Bathing should not occur earlier than one hour before feeding!

The next thing you want to remember is hair coloring. You and so the whole pregnancy did not leave a place for your shabby hair! Enough! If your child is fed with a mixture, then questions should not arise, of course, you have to paint. Myths that the dyed hair of a mother can somehow hurt the child (if he, of course, does not eat them) is a relic of the past. Feel free to paint your hair.

There is no single opinion about whether to dye your hair during breastfeeding. Firstly, in any case, hair dyeing in this case will have to be abandoned until the teens, until the baby can not replace at least one feeding for complementary foods, since the nearest breastfeeding will have to be abandoned. Why should you take chances?

If you want to paint the hair you will need help. You can go to the salon, you can dye your hair at home. In the first case, you have to ask for help for a couple of hours: painting, the road back and forth, unforeseen circumstances. In the second case, you not only save time, but you can do your homework, while the paint falls on your hair.

How to choose a paint for dyeing hair after giving birth? It is necessary that the paint corresponded to several criteria.

  1. The paint should be bezammiachnoy, the child can not breathe it in pairs.
  2. The developer instead of ammonia can serve as oils and hydrogen peroxide.
  3. Do not buy expensive paint, the color of lactating women is not very stable and stable.
  4. Look at the composition. The more natural components in it, the better.

If there is a question about makeup, then an unambiguous answer is yes! It is not necessary to persevere with it, especially with powder, foundation creams, and everything that lies on the skin, the baby can not just touch you, but also lick it, if it pleases him. But the eye is worthy of emphasis. Pencil, ink and shadow to help you! Well, if you have hypnotic-allergenic cosmetics after the pregnancy, if not, use only one that did not cause negative reactions before. Do not abuse makeup, apply it only if you leave the house. Sleep, sitting by the crib, you can and not made-up.

Manicure and pedicure - the processes are not so complicated. If your child is still very young, then take care of your hands while he sleeps. If the child is older - arrange a game with him. Pour the warm water in the same bowl as you have, show how you can play with this water, put the toy on the bottom. And most importantly - prepare yourself for the floods, without them will not do!

Introduce it with accessories for the treatment of skin and nails, however, keep them out of the reach of the place. If the child still asks for something, give something as safe as possible, for example, soft polish for the nails. Even if the baby decides that it should taste, he will not hurt himself. Another question is the application of the coating. Here is a child you do not need. Put the baby to sleep, and find yourself the fastest-drying varnish. Put it on the balcony or loggia, there, the gremnogo clean air.

Do not forget to pamper yourself with new things: dresses, shoes, linens. Let all this be not very expensive, but new, it will very strongly enrich your appearance. Forget the phrase: "I've been going through the whole pregnancy, I'm still going on!" And certainly do not delay shopping until you lose weight. Be beautiful and pamper yourself! Let your baby have the most beautiful mother!
