The high of the ‘sweet spot’ in parenting

From the day you are blessed with a child, the days ahead become increasingly turbulent and tiring. You start experiencing stress, which, in turn changes your behavior and force you to stay in a state of mental and emotional chaos. This is a common experience in the initial years of motherhood but slowly with the passage of time, you will start enjoying this experience and come closer to the sweet years of parenting that are often termed as the “sweet spot”.Here is a list of few sweet spots to look forward to, for new parents.

You do not have to be awake all night long

When your child is an infant, you have to wake up several times during the night because the child screams and cries frequently, and you have no idea what is actually troubling your little one.Now, when you have a young kid it is easier to get longer hours of sound sleep again because your child can share his problems of why he is not sleeping, and you can get back to bed after you address them.

Time to restore your energy

With a new born baby, you feel drained of all your energy because you are feeding your baby after regular intervals, a consistent lack of sleep; as motherhood demands ample time, but gradually you restore the energy and wake up even before your child wakes up. You feel free to do the household chores that were earlier impossible to cater to.

No more monthly check ups
