How to find balance as a new mum
I don't think someone ever said that it was easy to be a mom because you are trying to juggle a full-time job with a family life. Read my few tips on how you get closer to reaching an ideal work-life balance, special twins :)
I have to tell to myself that no mums are perfect, we just all do our best to make it work with our babies. In fact, you can never be wrong with them as you work out your life around them and they do the same. Everything is new for them anyway, so don't freak out !
* Make some time to enjoy being with your babies and getting to know them - cuddle and play with them as much as they need.
* Try not to spend all day in your pyjamas, even if it quite comfy. Get dressed, brush your teeth and hair. This will always help to make you feel better.
* Explain to yourself that if your babies are crying at the same time you have to work out a way to entertain them. They need to self-settle a way faster than singleton babies because it's two of them and you can't carry them both at the same time.
* Avoid big changes in your life once you find a nice routine for them, unless it is absolutely necessary. Babies love to follow a routine, morning, noon & night. It will help them to grow faster and better.
* Never feel guilty with your babies, they are two, so it makes your life a lot harder and it can be complicate to organise everything.
* Never ever compare yourself with an other mom, specially if she has only one baby. It is totally different, and it can be frustrating if you start so.
* During the day, make conversations with your babies to make them feel alive and good to be around you. They love to have you close to them, so explain to them everything you, step by step they will understand and they will start loving your company more than anyone else.
* Always use positive energy around your babies, and have realistic expectations.
* Be proud of yourself when things are going right, however try not to punish yourself when things are going wrong. With babies it is 1 step forward, 2 steps backward.
