Our Message to Parents
There is very little in this world that can replace the euphoria of having a baby and bringing them home for the first time. However, we also know that life with a newborn, babies and toddlers is hard work, really hard work. We know it can seem like a repetitive cycle and that the daily grind can start to take its toll (this doesn't make you a bad parent!).
Physical and mental wellbeing are of utmost importance to living and building a healthy and happy family life. This is why we strongly advocate and promote six key factors to help you achieve this.
Whether you are pregnant or a parent -
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF. Eat well, get some sleep/rest and find time for some exercise.
You are doing a great job. Nobody finds parenting easy (no matter what they say or what you might read). DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF and give yourself a break
Some days will be amazing and you will feel like you can conquer the world. Other days things might not go quite to plan. It's ok to change plans, alter a routine, go with an easy option and have a good cry - YOU ARE NOT FAILING​
Everyone needs a break every now and then, that is ok. GIVE YOURSELF SOME TIME OUT.
​​
There is no magic solution or one method that will work for everyone. Each family structure and dynamic is different. Learn to recognise and embrace this. DON’T JUDGE YOURSELF AGAINST OTHERS​
And the biggie - IT'S OK TO ASK FOR HELP - you don’t have to do it alone. We are here for you
