exercise
Exercise releases ‘feel good’ hormones, energises the system, and helps tone your body after you’ve had your baby. Fit mums have more fun!
nutrition
Busy mums often snack on the run. Avoid junk and choose foods that boost your energy levels and give you staying power.
hydration
Experts say we should all drink at least two litres of water a day. The easiest way is to work it into your daily routine.
lifestyle balance
Balancing family, work and social commitments can be a juggle. Plan your day carefully – the down time as well as the work time.
sleep
Sleep is something most mums don’t get enough of. If you’re woken during the night, try to take a power nap during the day.
peer & family support
Support from friends and family can make a huge difference when you’ve just had a baby. Don’t be afraid to ask for help – they’ll be glad for the opportunity.
stress
Life is stressful enough without the pressures of a new baby. Give yourself a break and don’t try to do too much.
posture & pain
Pregnancy and birth may have left you with some aches and niggles. Fix your postnatal posture for long term good health.
