How to Ask for Help After Baby Arrives Without Feeling Guilty
The arrival of a baby is a magical moment, but it also comes with a whirlwind of emotions, challenges and sometimes exhaustion. Yet, asking for help often remains difficult, partly because of the guilt that can arise. Why do we have difficulty admitting that we cannot do everything alone, and above all, how can we overcome this guilt to better experience this transition?
1. Understand where guilt comes from
It's common to feel like asking for help is admitting failure. Society values the image of the "supermom" who can handle everything perfectly: baby, home, work, and social life. But this image is unrealistic and contributes to unnecessary stress.
Asking for help is acknowledging your needs. It is also an act of kindness towards yourself and your baby, because a rested and supported mother is a more serene mother.
2. Rethinking the concept of aid
Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re failing as a parent. On the contrary, it’s a sign of wisdom and strength. Whether it’s for household chores, emotional support, or professional advice, help can come in many forms.
If you feel the need for attentive listening or solutions adapted to your challenges as a young mother, do not hesitate to call on professionals. This is where Mama Cocon can play a valuable role.
