The New Moms Morning Routine

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Weave Made Media® and Hyperbiotics, but all my opinions are my own. #weavemade #HealthiestDaysAhead http://my-disclosur.es/RgFrEH.”

I remember sitting at my baby shower with our first. My sister made me up this awesome gift basket basket for things I would need postpartum. Most of it, I understood. There were pads and snacks, a notebook, chapstick, and so much more. But there were a few things, like tucks pads and a peri bottle, that I looked in confusion as all the moms in the room busted out laughing. They were all in on this secret that I had no clue about. But soon I would learn.

My sister, to the best of her ability, would guide me those 41+ weeks through my pregnancy. Teaching me about what to expect both during pregnancy and postpartum. Still, there was so much that she could never teach that I would just have to experience on my own. So much of parenting is learning as you go, however, you can also learn so much from others’ experiences.

Today, I want to share with you our New Moms Morning Routine. Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, each time you have a new and unique adjustment period. One of the best things that you can do for your mental health is to establish a morning routine as quickly as you can. Getting into a groove will leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle every day with energy.

Here’s our New Moms Morning Routine in 5 simple steps.

I promise if you do each of these things, you will feel much better every day. Not going to lie, not everyday will be sunshine and rainbows, but overall, much better!

1. Wash Your Face.

Okay, if we are being honest here, you likely aren’t going to have time to shower every morning. While many other sites recommend meditating, exercising, or journaling, the truth is we don’t always have time for that. We think those are great ideas, but simply washing your face in the morning will have you feeling like a new person.

2. Make Yourself Breakfast.

This doesn’t have to be something outrageous. I’m not asking you to make yourself poached eggs with crepes and berry compote every morning (although that does sound delish). Make yourself a smoothie. Hard boil eggs once a week and eat two throughout the week. Or even avocado toast. Breastfeeding? Check out our lactation recipes.

3. Take a probiotic.

I honestly wish someone told me about probiotics when I was a young adult, even before having kids, but it wasn’t until I had given birth with my first that I learned about them. Probiotics have multiple functions, but in this scenario they provide temporary relief for anxiety, depression, and overall mental health. Hyperbiotics, a probiotic brand found at your local Target, encourages healthy, regular bowl movements (which if you’ve given birth know just how important help in that department is!). The Pro-Moms blend is prefect for both pregnant and nursing moms because it encourages full nutrient absorption which aids in a healthier immune system. Pro-Moms also helps produce essential B vitamins and contains natural folate. It also doesn’t have to be refrigerated, so you can keep it by your bedside and always remember to take it.

4. Take a postnatal vitamin (or continue your prenatal vitamins).

You just had a baby! You body needs all those vitamins and nutrients replenished as quickly as possible. It’s really important to continue taking your vitamins every day, but especially a quality postnatal or prenatal for the first 6 weeks after childbirth.

5. Fill up a water bottle.

I know some of you are going to hate me for this, but you need water. Put down the juice and soda, and pick up a bottle. Fill it with water as often as you need. You should continuously feel hydrated and not parched. Drink until you feel quenched. Don’t care for water? Try flavoring it (Pinterest has a bajillion different ideas) or try coconut water. If you are a breastfeeding mama, I try to aim for 64oz a day.

A bit more

Everyone has heard to do the things above, except maybe the probiotics. Let me give you a bit more information about them. Hyperbiotics, a premium probiotic blend, is now available at Target. Their blends help by:

supporting your immune system response
optimizing your best digestive health.
promoting improved immunity

Specifically speaking about Hyperbiotics formulas – they are vegetarian, non-GMO, free of lactose, gluten, and sugar. There’s also no soy, nuts, iron, artificial flavors or colors, and no preservatives. Also, unlikely many other probiotic companies, Hyperbiotics blends don’t have to be refrigerated, which means you can take them with you anywhere. They use a patented manufacturing process called LiveBac® that guarantees their blends for 18 months after manufacturing with no refrigeration.
