The merry month of May brings us flowering fruit trees, rhubarb pie, fresh asparagus and, on May 25th, Memorial Day kicks off the official countdown to summer! This month also brings us Mother’s Day—a day to reflect and offer gratitude for all that moms do. And maybe you or someone you know has recently become a new mom, making this Mother’s Day extra special.
If you’re a new mom, you’ve probably found your thoughts and behaviors have shifted to the needs of your little one. Motherhood is an amazing journey with so much to take in and learn. But it’s important to remember that taking good care of yourself naturally helps you care for your baby, too.
Here are 3 quick self-care tips just for new moms:
- Take a postnatal multivitamin! Yes, there really is a multivitamin for the enhanced nutritional needs of mothers caring for their babies*! Discover whole-food cultured Perfect Postnatal multivitamin from New Chapter, which is formulated especially for new and nursing moms and delivers nutrients for energy, mood, and lactation support.* Perfect Postnatal also features a complementary blend of herbs traditionally used by breastfeeding women, including organic oats, turmeric and chamomile.* (If the new mom is someone you love, Perfect Postnatal can also be a great gift—for Mother’s Day, for her baby shower, or drop it off with a home-cooked meal!)
- Give yourself a break. You’ve probably noticed that caring for a new baby can lead to lack of sleep. Try following the advice to “sleep when your baby sleeps.” Also, emerging studies suggest that taking a daily multivitamin—such as New Chapter’s Perfect Postnatal—can support a healthy mood and help with occasional stress and fatigue.*
- Eat healthy foods. You’re probably spending a lot of time making sure your baby is well nourished. Be sure to nourish yourself! Sometimes you might feel so busy with baby, partner and other family that it feels like you hardly have time to eat. Don’t be afraid to ask for help—friends and family can always pitch in. Perfect Postnatal multivitamin can help too, delivering consistent nutritional support that busy moms can take anytime—even on an empty stomach*!
So when it comes to being a new mom, trust yourself to nourish your baby… and trust New Chapter to nourish you!
