Here's what Srishti had to say!
Diwali can still be a special and memorable time, even with the challenges of being a new mom. Prioritizing your baby’s well-being and your own self-care is key. Here's what you can keep in mind!
Safety: Ensuring a safe environment for your baby, and keeping them away from firecrackers and candles, while enjoying these things can be a challenge.
Baby’s comfort during gathering: Make sure you pack essentials like diapers, snacks, and your child’s favourite cosy blanket when leaving. Don’t forget a favourite toy as well to keep them entertained!
Feeding the baby: Making sure the child is well-fed and comfortable amidst the celebration can be a bit difficult as it can get a bit unmanageable. The solution to this can be limiting the visitors or gatherings according to the mother and baby as they both need rest. It also means understanding that celebrating this time may be different and you can instead focus on meaningful moments with your new family.
Moms should not be left behind: Make sure you enlist a trusted caregiver, have a schedule for feeding and naps, and pack a well-equipped baby bag. This will give mothers the chance to have a moment to herself before she goes back to taking care of her little munchkin. It’s all about balance!
Hope you have a blast celebrating the festive season with your new one! Happy Diwali!
