It’s so easy for the new mom to get buried under all the fuss and excitement around the arrival of a newborn baby.

I just had my 6th little one just a few weeks ago, but that doesn’t make it any easier to remember to take care of your own mental and physical well-being.

My hope is that at least one other momma out there will benefit from my experience and commit to taking care of themselves using this checklist as a reminder.

I’ve also created a great checklist for you with all the essentials for postpartum care after natural birth. You’ll want to add it to your list before to big “B” Day!

Let me know in the comments if you found this helpful. I’d love to read about your experiences.
