Not long ago, an exquisite grandmother took a video of her baby all over the Internet. The reason is that when my daughter came back from work, she saw the mother with the baby soaking her feet in the foot bath bucket and applying a mask on her face. At the same time, she did not delay feeding the baby with one arm. Not only that, this grandmother has her own way of taking care of her baby on weekdays. A photo shows that she can breast-feed her baby with one hand, eat melon seeds with one hand and watch videos with one foot on the screen of her mobile phone. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a hole in grandma's right sock, which is convenient for her toes to operate the mobile phone. Isn't this grandmother very clever?
Of course, grandma also said, "You can't delay your rich life because of taking care of your baby", and she laughed and inspired me.
As a stay-at-home mother, I know exactly what it's like to take care of my baby, and I feel completely out of touch with myself. Feed every two hours, and every time the baby sleeps in the middle, he will wake up and continue feeding. When the baby is older, you should make complementary food when you sleep. Breakfast is often eaten at 1 1, even twice a day.
The most important thing is that all the chores around you are trivial, unrealized and have no breathing space. Ma Bao's free time every day is after the children fall asleep at night, so I often don't know what time it is ... I even suspect that many postpartum depression in Ma Bao is related to not being able to find myself besides taking care of the baby.
Therefore, this "exquisite grandmother with baby" incident caused me to think deeply: everyone should learn from this grandmother's "opportunistic" method.
(1) Let go of the mentality of "strive to achieve 100", and the Buddha will take care of the baby.
Many precious mothers work hard with their babies because they set too high a standard for themselves. The target they are aiming at is "Mom 100". The child coughs, fearing that he has caught a cold. When he cried, he felt that the sky was falling. He tried his best to make the baby laugh, and his spirit was always in a state of tension. If you can put down your expectations and accept yourself with 60 points, you will find that the whole person can relax a lot.
The most obvious example is Ma Bao's attitude towards the first child and the second child. When the first child was born, Ma Bao felt more mentally exhausted. After the birth of the second child, her mind relaxed, but she felt that raising a baby was not as "difficult" as the first child. In fact, it is the reason for the change of mentality.
(2) Emancipate the labor force with various child-rearing artifacts.
Many people want to know why a person can take several babies abroad. In addition to the method of foreign hot moms bringing babies, they also use a lot of parenting artifacts. These can greatly save physical strength, thus reducing fatigue.
For example, the "feeding artifact" that specially fixes the bottle can relieve arm fatigue and reduce the hard work of holding the baby, while the complementary food machine and ready-made packaged complementary food can save parents at least one hour every day.
In addition, they also make good use of high-tech tools to reduce housework. The drying integrated washing machine can reduce the time to dry clothes, the sweeping robot can greatly liberate the waist, and the dishwasher can reduce the time you spend doing housework in the kitchen. ......
These artifacts are like the right arm, which can help you get rid of the complicated housework, read books and listen to songs with peace of mind and find yourself.
(3) Always sum up the reasons for labor and be clever in "being lazy"
If you want to raise children more easily, you must always sum up. Today, when I changed my baby's diaper, I felt my waist couldn't straighten up. Tomorrow I can sit and change, or even squat down to change, so that my old waist can relax for a while. If you feel that you are in a hurry every day, you can specify a timetable, sum up what you did in what time period the next day, and then look for projects that can be optimized. Always sum up, reflect and improve in time, and the efficiency will always be higher and higher.
