Moms Need Alone Time From Infants

There is nothing wrong with needing a break from your infant. Whether a family member or a husband takes over for a while is not going to make the bonding any less special between the mother and the baby. Many mothers feel that they have to be the only ones with the infant until they get a little older. This is not the case. In fact, it is the opposite. A mother does need time for herself after giving birth. This is a time when she needs to pamper herself as well as relax after nine months of carrying the baby.

Take the time to spend on yourself after giving birth. This can only help with your parenting abilities. If you spend all your time with the baby and do not allow yourself some alone time, you can become overwhelmed and may cause unneeded depression. Allow family and the father to take care of the baby for an hour or two a day, so you can have some time.
