The Best Mom Advice

With our little girl due 2 months from today, I wanted to share some of the best Mom advice I have been given and heard!

See my latest pregnancy update HERE.

This is some of the best advice that I was given as a new Mom and things I still hear today that have helped me a lot!

Let’s face it, motherhood can be tough with which products to use, how to feed your baby, to sleep train or not, to stay home or go back to work, plus a million other decisions! It’s all 100% worth it for these little ones, but it can definitely be overwhelming. I wanted to share some of the best advice I have been given to help any new Moms to be or maybe a Mama who just needs a little pick me up!

My goal with this post is to help bring a smile to a Mom’s face so please share this with all your Mama friends and family so we can all share in the love!

MOM ADVICE I’VE RECEIVED

  • Don’t sweat the small things you can’t control

  • Give yourself grace, no Mom is perfect

  • You don’t have to sleep when the baby sleeps, every single time…Mama needs some time to herself too

  • The housework can wait

  • Don’t forget about yourself: take a shower or bath, paint your nails, drink coffee or wine, read a book, write in your journal, etc! You are still a woman that deserves time for herself, even if it’s just 10 minutes

  • Ignore the odd comments from strangers

  • DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU AND NO ONE ELSE!

    • probably my biggest piece of advice—no one is in your shoes or lives with you and your baby so just do what is the best for you and your little one

MOM ADVICE FROM YOU

The following advice was from all different readers as well as followers on IG! I combined a bunch that were similar so that we didn’t have duplicates! I would love to keep adding to this list so please be sure to leave comments with your advice so I can keep adding on!

  • Talk to your kids every chance you get

  • Just roll with it, literally everything

  • Give your children wings to fly, of course when they’re much older

  • Give yourself grace, you and baby are learning this new wonderful life

  • Set time aside for your other babies, it will help them transition but also cure any guilt in your Mama heart

  • Stay calm, babies feed off energy that surrounds them

  • Listen to your Mom gut

  • Ask for help when you need it

  • A BabyBrezza Formula Pro is a must for backup in case breastfeeding doesn’t go as planned

  • You can’t hold your newborn too much

  • Bring snacks for kids no matter where you go, you can never have too many snacks

I hope this helps and maybe you can offer some of this advice to a Mama in need in your life :)

Again, please share any other advice you have received or given and I will be sure to update the post!
