3 things: New Mum Essential || The Cuddle Blog
While I was doing my research for this post, I noticed that not alot of people focused on the new mothers in their "essential" posts. It is important that new mums - howbeit hard - should not forget themselves. In light of that, here are 3 things I think are essential for new mums;
- A Snack Stash (Especially if you are breastfeeding): I found myself craving for different things when I started breastfeeding. No one told me that the craving won't end, it felt that I was losing weight fast at the beginning but I wanted to eat twice as much. I wanted all the junk food to stuff my face in. I later had a stash of go-to snacks to help with the fix
- Breast Pads: Nothin as embarrassing as a leaking breast. I didn't have a clue how serious it could be but it is verrrry important that you have enough breast pads, especially if you choose to use the disposable ones.
- Solitude: Being sleep deprived, overwhelmed, tired and feeling like you can't take it any more comes with the territory of becoming a new mum.
It's very important that you take a break and have some alone time, even if it's 30 mins to do whatever you want to do. I don't necessarily sleep when he sleeps. I take a long bath, do my nails, blog, write or just enjoy my own company in order for me to renew and refresh. At the end of the day, as much as I am doing everything for my baby, my baby also needs me to be in the right frame of mind.

3 things: New Born Essential 0-3 months || The Cuddle Blog
I know that there are many other things you need at this stage but I am tagging this "Essential" because somethings are more crucial than other things. In the first 3 months of your babys life I call it "Survival mode" most especially if you are a first time mum- because you are just getting starting this new experience and adjusting your life to accommodate a new baby and it is never easy. Here are 3 things that I think are essential to making it a lot more easier.
- Nursing Pillow; It's just amazing the difference this pillow makes when you are trying to breastfeed. When you are a sleep deprived new mother with a baby trying to get the hang of breastfeeding and wanting to feed all the time this is a life saver, the support. Oh the support. Your arms will thank you.
- Burb Cloth: Spit Up is REAL and boy is it disgusting!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my baby but that love doesn't extend to what comes out of his mouth. You will need the burb cloths, it will save you many times. Have it handy and have a backup for the backup! Thank me later.
- Baby Pain reliever: I think the pain reliever is essential because your baby will be taking immunisation injections back to back in the first 3 months and they get so cranky afterwards from the pain. Not a pretty sight. Having the pain reliever handy even before you go for the injections go a long way for them.
What else do you think is a New born essential?
