Having a baby is one of the biggest blessings; bringing life into the world can give you more purpose and meaning than you ever imagined. But with this great responsibility can also come stress and struggle.

Whether you just found out you’re pregnant, have only a few more weeks until the baby is born, or your little one has recently arrived, there are so many different ways to prepare for this exciting and hectic journey.

Here are five new mother tips to keep in your back pocket:

1. Take it Day by Day

On top of the list of preparing for motherhood tips? Prepare for the unexpected.

Babies don’t understand schedules and they want nothing to do with an agenda. Even if you consider yourself the most organized person on the planet, it’s important to take it day by day, or even hour by hour, with your new little one. Once you get familiar with each other, you may have a better idea of creating a schedule. But at the start of this journey, be open to chaos.

2. Build Your Village

Whether you’re relying on family and friends to help when the baby arrives or you have a group of mom friends who are available for support, remember to accept the assistance. “It takes a village” is an old proverb that will never go out of style – with a community of loved ones around your family, you and your new baby can navigate the first year of life – and beyond – in a happy and healthy frame of mind.

3. Get Your Sleep

By now, you’ve been told a thousand times to “sleep when baby sleeps” but this isn’t always possible! Given your new responsibilities, such as late-night feedings and changings, you may find yourself feeling more sleep deprived than ever. Talk to your partner or another person of support to help you schedule time for rest. This can have an immensely positive impact on your physical and mental well-being.

4. Be Kind and Patient – To Yourself!

One of the biggest pieces of advice to take with you during your first year of motherhood? Remember to be kind and patient with yourself. Don’t compare yourself to other moms – becoming a parent is a learning curve that most people have to navigate, and with each baby, comes unique challenges.

5. Gain Peace of Mind and Give Baby Soft Skin

If you’re worried about your baby’s newborn skin and want to help them soothe any potential irritation, consider the Happy Cappy dry skincare regimen. The Daily Shampoo and Body Wash gently cleanses and moisturizes baby’s skin, while the Happy Cappy Moisturizing Cream locks in that moisture and keeps your baby smooth and hydrated.
