Sometimes when you are a new parent you get caught…
Baby Massage Online classes
Just after one of my recent baby massage online classes I took some time to chat to camera about baby massage classes.
I love teaching baby massage because I understand how crazy becoming a new mum can be.
I’ve been a new Mum four times.’ Ciara Kelly said on her lunchtime radio slot. I couldn’t agree with that statement more. It’s spot on. And seldom does anyone voice that.
Each time you have a child it’s a new experience.
You are a different Mum each time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are different challenges to meet each time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The overwhelming realisation of becoming a mother for the first time and all that it entails.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The juggling another child’s needs as you grow your family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not to mention how different you can feel after birth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Motherhood is amazing but also mundane and repetitive.
It’s awe inspiring and crap all at the same time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We measure everything in our society. At work tasks are measured. With a baby weight is measured, growth, milestones… and then there’s sleep and the schedule!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And there’s an expert for everything.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If that wasn’t enough pressure to be under there is a social media version of how a mother should appear.
Many women have their children later in life. I had my daughter at 42.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At this stage of your life you are used to managing life and being an expert in your field and having control of your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enter the most precious control disrupter ever 👶🏼… 💣💥🧨💥…. game over!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s really difficult to change from a woman who had a schedule and was independent to a woman who has to just roll with whatever the day brings…
So say after me….
I am a great Mum 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am doing my best 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s ok to ask for help 💟
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know my child best 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ve got this Mamma. Believe in yourself. If you need extra support ask for help.
Baby massage online classes can be a great way to connect with other Mums and to bond with baby. Have a watch of my video below and see what you think…
