So there you are, a few months into your postpartum journey, juggling more new responsibilities than a circus performer with a caffeine addiction. Who knew that tiny humans could run a tighter schedule than New York's subway system? Between diaper changes, midnight feedings, and deciphering baby babble, maintaining friendships might seem more elusive than finding time for a shower. But worry not, fabulous mamas! Nurturing friendships doesn’t have to be another daunting task added to the list. And no, you don’t have to be as dependable as your houseplant to keep those friendships alive.

You're a Legend – But Sometimes Even Legends Need a Nap. Imagine you’re pulling an all-nighter, fueled solely by leftover baby food and a prayer. Suddenly, your phone pings with a message from your BFF: “Miss you! Catch up soon?” Don’t panic! Toss that mom-guilt out the window (along with your unrealistic expectations) and embrace the crazy, chaotic fun of keeping your social life alive.

1. Prioritize Your Time, Darling

Have you ever looked at a calendar and wondered how on earth you became busier than a Kardashian at a launch party? To make room for friends,

Embrace the chaos: A quick chat with a friend is way better than a perfect friendship tea party.

2. Communicate Like a Millennial

Text, tweet, or send a string of emojis—it doesn't matter how you do it, just stay connected. Emoji conversations might seem childish, but let's face it, you speak baby now. Your friends will love knowing you’re thinking of them, even if your last coherent message was sent from the delivery room. Keep it real. “Just changed the 10th diaper of the day. Wish you were here 💩😂.”

If baby talk has replaced adulting, remember that gifs and memes are the new Shakespeare.

3. Keep It Real and Raw

Now that you’re part of the mom club, vulnerability is your sparkling badge of honor. Gone are the days of maintaining the Pinterest-perfect friendship facades. It’s time to embrace the beauty of realness. Did baby puke on your new Zara shirt right before brunch? Share it! Keeping it raw-and-real can deepen your bonds faster than you can say “designer onesie.”

Forget Instagram filters. The real you is the hottest new trend—spit-up and all.

Shmooze Your Way into New Friendships

5. Let Go of Toxicity

Just like your closet (out with the old, in with the new), sometimes friends that were jewels pre-baby might not fit your new vibe—and that’s okay! Keep things light. Life’s too short for constant drama. Instead, surround yourself with positivity and remember, high school was a long time ago.

No more Queen Bees, just Queen Mommas ruling at nap o'clock.

6. Ask for Help When Needed

Life isn’t a soap opera (unless you make it one). It’s okay to ask for help maintaining friendships when the going gets tough. Partner got a spare half hour? Request baby duty while you dive into a 30-minute chat with your besties.

Because in the game of 'Mom vs. World,' sometimes you need an ally.
