Congratulations on the arrival of your little one! As a new parent, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of caring for your newborn, however, it’s important to make sure to take care of yourself as well. Practicing self-care is essential for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We’ve put together a list of self-care products that will help you prioritize yourself as well.
Rest⎯Take advantage of any opportunity to rest and sleep when your baby sleeps. We have a lot of comfortable apparel that you can wear day and night, so you’re already in cozy clothing whenever you can get a nap in. Rest in comfort with stretchy high-waisted leggings, soft tank tops, and an all-in-one nursing and hands-free pumping bra made with lightweight buttery smooth stretch fabric.
Spa Day⎯Having a spa day is a great way to treat yourself and indulge in self-care, especially during the postpartum period when you deserve some extra pampering. Find a spa near you and book an appointment.
Light Exercise⎯Once you've been cleared by your healthcare provider, incorporate gentle exercises like walking or postnatal yoga into your routine.
At-Home Massagers⎯What better way to relax at home than by getting a neck and back massager and a foot and calf massager. A whole body massage will give you a great relaxation right at home.
Connect With Others⎯Reach out to other new parents for support and to build a community. Joining parent groups or online communities can provide a valuable source of advice, empathy, and tips.
Cooking Classes⎯Does cooking help you destress? You don’t even need to leave your home to attend one. Check out Sur La Table’s online cooking classes and learn some news recipes.
Take A Bubble Bath⎯Not only is a bubble bath a great way to relax and unwind, but it’s also the perfect way to pamper yourself. Get a bath balm set and relax in the bubbles.
Face Mask⎯One of the best ways to pamper your skin is by doing a home face mask. Not only are face masks relaxing, but they also can make your skin silky smooth. Sit back, relax, and let the face mask do its magic!
Scented Candle Or Incense⎯Burn your favorite candle or incense and fill your room with aromas that make you happy and calm.
Meditate⎯Meditation can help relax your mind and help your overall well-being. Take time for yourself and be in the moment without worrying about outside stressors.
Go Shopping⎯Retail therapy is a fun way to treat yourself to a new outfit. So grab your friends or family and get something new for yourself.
Manicure And Pedicure⎯Pamper your nails and toes with a manicure and pedicure. Get some much needed me-time and leave the salon with beautiful nails and toenails.
Practicing self-care after the birth of your baby is something you shouldn’t neglect to do. By getting in rest when you can and doing activities that bring you joy and relaxation, you can better navigate the challenges of being a new parent. Take some time for yourself because you deserve it!
