El equipo de LS comparte: lo que nos hubiese gustado saber como madres primerizas

Traer a un recién nacido a casa es mágico, abrumador, inolvidable y un poco caótico. A medida que se acerca el Día de la Madre, no pudimos evitar reflexionar sobre esos primeros momentos de la maternidad.

Las noches con los ojos nublados. Las dulces primeras veces. Los momentos en los que nos sentimos inseguras y los que nos cambiaron para siempre. Esto nos hizo pensar en nuestros propios caminos y en lo que nos hubiera gustado saber cuando apenas comenzábamos.

Así que les preguntamos a las mamás del equipo LS: ¿Qué te gustaría volver atrás y decirle a la tú que era madre primeriza? Esto es lo que dijeron, con sus propias palabras.

Nada es permanente.

"No importa lo difícil que parezca, recuérdate a ti misma que esto es una fase que pasará. Acepta la ayuda, no intentes ser una súper mamá. Simplemente sobrevivir es una hazaña en esas primeras semanas.

Y un consejo para mi yo del pasado: ¡graba más videos y no olvides aparecer en algunos de ellos! No tengo suficientes de esos pequeños gruñidos y ruidos de bebé y siempre deseo tener más". ~ Maradith, fundadora

 

Tómalo con calma.

"Como madre primeriza, tu rutina es completamente diferente, duermes menos y haces muchas cosas nuevas para mantener vivo a un pequeño ser humano. Si te pasas todo el día en pijama... ¡está perfectamente bien!

Aprecia todos los momentos del recién nacido. Esas primeras veces solo las tienes una vez. Además: invierte en un buen cochecito y un portabebés —las caminatas largas eran muy meditativas para mí". ~ Lindsay M., marketing

La comodidad importa.

"Me gustaría poder volver atrás y hablarme sobre el trastorno del procesamiento sensorial —lo real que es y cuánto alivio es posible con las herramientas adecuadas, como la ropa y el pijama de bambú. La vida podría haber sido muy diferente si hubiera sabido el primer día de la maternidad lo que sé ahora.

Una vez que lo hice, todo cambió —mi vida y la vida de mis hijos se transformaron de las maneras más significativas". ~ Anna H., operaciones

 

Comparte tu experiencia.

"Lo personal es universal. Si estás en medio de ello, es probable que uno de tus amigos padres también lo esté. Compartir tu experiencia hace que el viaje de la paternidad sea mucho más agradable.

¿Y sabes qué más? Contrata un servicio de limpieza o de entrega de comidas. Menos tiempo manteniendo la casa significa más abrazos al recién nacido". ~ Erin M., comercialización

 

Simplifícalo todo.

"¡Tú puedes, mamá! Invierte en las cosas que te facilitan la vida (¿ese cochecito increíble que querías? ¡Adelante! ¿Esos Zippies que facilitan los cambios? ¡Sí, por favor!). Cuando no puedas consolar al bebé, prepárate y sal a caminar o a pasear en coche. El movimiento y el aire fresco pueden hacer maravillas". ~ Agnes S., marketing

Estilos destacados: Blue Rainbows Zippy, Rust Rainbows Zippy, Pastel Rainbows Zippy

 

Lo estás haciendo genial.

"Como madre primeriza, me preocupaba constantemente no estar haciendo algo bien, especialmente cuando tuve dificultades con la lactancia. Escuchar y sentir la frase 'lo estás haciendo genial' marcó una gran diferencia para mí.

Además: los días son realmente largos, pero los años son cortos. ¡Atesora las primeras veces!". ~ Christine T., marketing

 

Encuentra tu tribu.

"No vivo cerca de ninguna familia, ¡así que ser madre realmente me ha enseñado que se necesita una tribu! Como madre primeriza (en una nueva ciudad en ese momento), recurrí a grupos de madres en línea en busca de apoyo y conexión, incluido el grupo VIP de LS incluso antes de unirme al equipo.

La nueva paternidad puede sentirse muy aislante, pero una vez que empiezas a compartir los desafíos, te das cuenta de que realmente no estás sola". ~ Lindsay M., marketing

Pide ayuda.

"No estás destinada a hacer esto sola. No puedes hacer todo por todos a la vez, algo que todavía tengo que recordarme a mí misma a diario 😅. Y está totalmente bien ser específica sobre el tipo de ayuda que necesitas". ~ Erin M., comercialización

 

Deja ir las cosas.

"Deja ir las expectativas y las presiones —sobre cómo será la paternidad, cómo saldrá una salida, cómo dormirá tu bebé, todo. Acostúmbrate a dejar caer algunas de las pelotas y a pedir ayuda. Al tener un niño con necesidades diferentes, nuestra vida es diferente, pero es perfecta a su manera". ~ Taylor B., comunidad

Ya sea que estés en la etapa de recién nacido ahora o que la recuerdes con lentes de color de rosa (¡y un poco más de sueño!), una cosa es segura: esta temporada es tan fugaz como inolvidable.

    Whether you are a first time or second time mom things are hard. Give yourself grace, everything is an adjustment. Listen to your babies and don’t worry so much about a schedule. It’s never a bad idea for everyone to spend the day in their pajamas.

    Which great points. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself and future mothers to be kind to yourself, our bodies just did a miraculous thing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love this blog, it’s such a great reminder! Xo

    I wish I would’ve known to trust my instinct and to not care if that upsets people.

    Such great advice in here! Being a first time mom there is so much to learn which can be over whelming. Just remembering this is all new and you will learn quick!

    It is okay to slow down and take one day at a time. Do not hesitate to ask for help especially in the first few weeks. You got this mamas!

    It’s okay to give yourself a break! You deserve it- whether it’s a mental or physical break, or both! Allow yourself sometime to rejuvenate!

    Absolutely asking for help is the best advice! It can be such a relief to have someone want to help especially with 2 under 2! And we don’t realize how wanted it makes other people feel when you actually accept their help!

    Some of these tips would’ve been so helpful with my first. He was a preemie and a nicu baby. I have definitely had to let go of expectations and the “norm”. Social media killed me a lot at first too because I was constantly comparing. My child was born two months early, it’s ok that things looked different with his development. I wish someone had told me that.

    Nothing is permanent.

    I can completely relate to that. Remind yourself to slow down. Time flies, one day you’ll wish to hear kids making a mess, asking for help, NEEDING you. Take all the pictures and videos. Keep those memories forever.

    It’s so cliche but very few things went how I envisioned them to go. My son was a true lesson in flexibility and slowing down. He was and is a Velcro child and needs so much of me. I routinely have to remind myself that he will not want me to snuggle him and be around forever so I need to slow down and enjoy the moments while I can. He also has called the shots and been very opinionated about how his life should go since coming into the world a month early. Parenthood for me has been a lesson in slowing down and letting go of all expectations. It’s so hard but also so beautiful and rewarding.

    Such great tips! It’s so hard when you’re in it, but now with a 4 year old and 1 year old I can honestly say I miss those sleepless nights up holding them as newborns. The days are long, but the years are truly so so short!

    My baby sleeps so good on her little sleepies sheets and her zippy.
    The best essentials for any mama!

    A very well written and heartfelt article! All very important points, I think a lot of social media depicts such a false sense of “easy parenting” and “perfection” that so many moms are left feeling like a failure or as if they’re doing something wrong. It’s important to remember that everyone is different, and everyone struggles. Focus on quality time with your family and take time to yourself! Treating yourself to some alone time does not make you a bad mom!

    The post partum trenches are rough. You are exhausted. You are sore. You are navigating a rush of hormones and a new indescribable, overwhelming type of love. It’s a cycle of “is this reals”, “can I do this?” “My house is a mess and I don’t remember the last time I’ve showered” and “dear heavens I have never been this thirsty or hungry in my life”. Through all that chaos, it’s hard to find time to ground yourself. But this poem is short and sweet and seems to always re- center me.

    “Oh, cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, But children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep. I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep”.

    No matter if it’s your first, second, tenth. Vaginal, cecarian, adoption, fostered- you’ve got this. It’s okay to just be. You’ll shower again. You’ll have a clean house again. You’ll feel full again. Your mind will find rest. You. Can. Do. This.

    Being a new mom is hard, my advice is to always trust your gut! There is so much pressure surrounding this new journey so when you feel overwhelmed take a moment to step back and see the bigger picture. One day all of this will seem like a lifetime ago and you will wonder why you let something silly weigh you down. Time flys, just do your best and have fun making wonderful memories with your babies, thats what truly matters.

    Take your time!! It is something you shouldn’t take for granted don’t spend it all wishing for the next step in your babies life enjoy when there a newborn and every other step in there life don’t rush it!!

    Finding your village (even when it’s not family) and letting things go are still things I am personally working on, but are definitely needed. If you don’t, it puts so much stress and pressure on you and you can’t enjoy the present moments either your littles!

    There are so many things I wish I could redo as a first time mom, but the main one I wish I did was ask for help. Asking for help can be SO hard to do. It was for me and I felt like if I asked for help then that meant I was failing at being a mother or I was being and inconvenience. Throughout my postpartum, I learned to gain my voice back and not keep anything inside. You are their entire world and it does not benefit you or them to keep things quiet if you are in need of any help whatever it may be.

    So many good tips! I’m in the thick of it with my 2.5 year old toddler and 5-month old infant. The phrase “nothing is permanent” is so helpful. For me, it’s letting go of perfection and recognizing that two things can be true at the same time. It can be both beautiful and messy. Fun and frustrating. I am so incredibly grateful for my girls, but also acknowledge that some moments of parenting just aren’t enjoyable. It’s that feeling of desperately counting down the minutes until bedtime, but then missing them once they go to sleep; wanting a break but then also not wanting to be away from them. I’m a second time mom now, and I wish I could go back and tell younger me that it’s all going to be ok. The hard moments will pass, and your feelings are valid. It feels hard because it IS hard. Not because you’re inadequate. You got this, Mama!

    Some days you will have 100% and some days you’ll have 50%. Lean on your support system instead of doing it all yourself. It’s their first time experiencing life to so you dont need to compare yourself. The hard days are a phase and you will look back a miss it!

    Take the pictures! All of the pictures! You can always delete them but you can never take them again of that moment in time. And videos are just one step better because you get to hear what is going on and see your baby move and interact. I wish I would’ve taken more of both when our baby was first born and the first few months of her life

    Always ask for help and find your village, it’s so hard to do motherhood alone. We as women feel if we ask for help it means we are failing and that’s not the case. The more people we have in our village means more people to love our babies ❤️

    This is all such great advice for new moms!! Looking back I wish I could tell myself that things will get better and that nothing is permanent! I wish I could tell myself that everything will workout and it will all be ok! I still have a toddler so I am definitely trying to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the ride because she is my last baby!

    Dear New Mom,

    I want you to know that you’re capable, strong, and loved. Your baby has chosen you to be their mommy, guiding light, and the person they want to grow with.

    Be kind to yourself as you navigate the ups and downs. Cherish every moment, big and small – the late-night feedings, first smiles, and tiny hands that wrap around your finger.

    Your love and care will shape your child’s life in incredible ways. You’re their safe haven, rock, and guiding star. Remember to record milestones and take pictures – these memories will be treasures for a lifetime. Time flies, and before you know it, these early days will be cherished memories.

    When others offer advice, listen with love, but trust your own heart. You’re the expert on your baby, and your intuition will guide you. You’re not alone; there are countless moms out there who understand your journey. Keep shining your light, knowing you’re loved, supported, and celebrated every step of the way.

    Last but not least, be patient with yourself and your little one, motherhood is a journey, and it’s okay to learn and grow together.

    You’re an amazing mom, and your baby is lucky to have you. Keep shining your light, knowing you’re loved, supported, and celebrated every step of the way.

    With love, María

    These are great reminders for ALL moms! It is so easy to get sucked into searching for milestones with your first baby but then by your second you just want it all to slow down…..
