Everyone has heard a mom say she was going to “sneak in” a little time to herself. Maybe she’ll “sneak out” for a cup of coffee with a friend or “sneak a nap” while her baby rests. It’s time to stop thinking about self-care as selfish. It isn’t, and it’s not something that we should relegate to the shadows. Self-care is something we should work into our daily lives and participate in proudly. When you have a new baby, you may have to get creative with exactly how you accomplish this.
