No matter how many times you tell yourself: “I will just put baby down and eat my meals with two hands,” there are many times when this just does not happen – and rare are the times when you can enjoy your food in peace!
Some new Mummies even resort to eating their meals with one hand while standing up, bouncing their little one around. You may feel sometimes that it is an accomplishment if you manage to eat your food whilst it is still luke warm!
Newborns love the closeness they feel when they are being held and it’s not surprising – after all, they have been all cuddled up inside you for nine months, so being out in the big wide world can feel quite daunting. That’s why many people call the few months after the birth the “fourth Trimester” as your baby is still a neonate.
Do you have an amusing story to share with other mums about eating – or doing household chores – while trying to soothe your baby? Head to our Facebook page
Here are a few tips to make sure you’re eating properly:
- Plan or buy meals that can be eaten easily with just a fork
- Prepare meals which can be easily reheated in a quiet moment
- Make sure you’re taking a great nutritional supplement
- Take it in turns to eat if you have help around.
- Try an Ergobaby Carrier or similar to free up both hands
- Invest in a baby bouncer for a few quiet minutes
It’s times like these when a great infant carrier like the Ergobaby Carrier Original three position carrier can come into its own. With your baby held comfortably and safely in the carrier, you can carry on with your life in the knowledge that your baby is happy. Your baby is held in a natural seated position that’s great for hip development and the padded straps and waist belt ensure that the weight is distributed evenly across your hips and shoulders. It comes with its own generous storage pocket and adjustable hood, has three carrying positions – on your front, back or hip and is machine washable.
