How to Nurture Your Friendships When Life Gets Busy with Baby
Turns Out, Babies Don’t Come with a 'Pause' Button for Social Life: Tips on Juggling Friends and Diapers!
Who knew that one tiny human could upend your entire social calendar like a wrecking ball through a block of Jenga? Welcome to the wild ride of 0-to-6-months post-partum, where sleep is a mythical beast and social interactions are based on how fast you can text with one hand! Catching up with friends might feel impossible when your conversations revolve around burping, diaper blowouts, and that magical moment when they finally nap (hallelujah!).
Warning: Stepping into motherhood doesn’t mean you have to step out of your friendships. Just like that onesie collection for junior, your social life might need a bit of reorganizing! Maintaining friendships might seem daunting, but it’s not as elusive as an uninterrupted night of sleep, promise!
