How did you manage to find time for self-care during the postpartum period?

Question

Hello busy mamas! Let's have a discussion on how we made time for self-care amidst the demands of caring for a newborn during the postpartum phase. Did you have any strategies, routines, or support systems in place? Share your experiences and inspire other moms to prioritize their well-being.

Answer

To be honest, I don’t understand moms that say they can’t find time to shower and wash their hair. And also preparing a healthy snack is a lot less work than junk food. 
We introduced routine quite quickly, how we start the day and how we finish it (we followed baby sleep solution book for the routine). When my husband went back to work, we still had breakfast together and after that I would put the baby in moses basket or baby nest and take a shower. It actually calmed him
down and he fell asleep. And throughout the day, i would set an alarm that every time baby sleeps, i will clean/tidy for max 10min and then rest. That helped a lot with having more energy when baby was awake.
