A strong support network is essential for expectant and new parents, and building one takes effort. Here are some steps new mums and dads can take to surround themselves with a supportive community.
A strong support network is essential for both parents and babies. It's vital for a parent's well-being, impacting their emotional and physical health, and it directly influences a baby's healthy development.
Pregnancy and new parenthood can be tough emotionally, with hormonal changes, physical discomfort, and the normal worries of caring for a newborn. Support from loved ones boosts a parent's confidence, provides a safe space to share feelings, and reduces stress, which can also improve mood and lower the risk of depression and anxiety.
Practical help, like assistance with household chores or childcare, allows new parents to get much-needed rest, crucial for both their physical and mental recovery. When parents feel supported, they have more emotional resources to bond with their baby and provide sensitive, responsive care, which is key for healthy development. Supportive relationships also help create a secure attachment between parent and child, which has long-term benefits for the child's emotional and social well-being.
