Often, mums don’t need anyone to solve anything for them. They don’t need advice or personal opinions.
What mums usually really need is someone who knows how to really listen, someone who gives them space to express their experience without immediately trying to fix it.
Truly listening without judgement can be incredibly powerful. And just imagine how much that can mean to a mother during those first weeks and months after giving birth.
Because it’s a time of incredible change. She is recovering from pregnancy and childbirth and, at the same time, bonding with and caring for her baby. And many mothers do this with very little support.
Of course it is intense.
Sometimes, simply listening to them and reminding them that what they are feeling is ok can make a huge difference.
And when you offer emotional support to a mother, you are also supporting her baby🧡
