Your Daytime Routine


-Get Motivated in the morning

Mooching around in your pj's will just make you feel even more lethargic.

-Jump in the Shower

This will give you an instant boost.

-Drink Plenty

Dehydration can sap your energy. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

-Go for a walk with Baby

Even if its just around the block. This is good exercise and baby will benefit from fresh air too.

-Cat-Nap when you can

Get your baby in the habit of a lunchtime snooze and then grab a nap too. Even 20 mins will make you feel more revitalised.


Your Diet


-Eat regularly

Eating five small meals a day keeps blood sugar levels stable, which is crucial to avoid yo-yoing energy levels. Always eat breakfast, lunch and supper and stock up on energising snacks.

-Eat Right

The best foods are those that release energy slowly such as fruit and vegetables, nuts, seeds and wholegrain cereal.

-Steer Away From Stimulants

Switch to decaffinated drinks instead.

-B Ware

B Vits are the key nutrients for energy. You'll find them in wheatgerm, wholegrains, fish, eggs and green vegetables. Boost your intake of these foods and consider taking an all round multivitamin.


Your Bedtime Routine


-Make Sleep your Priority

Put sleep first and get to bed whenever you can.

-Learn to Wind Down

Invent your own bedtime wind-down. Maybe a nice warm bath.

-Your bedroom

It should be cool, dark and quiet.

-Don't Eat, Work or Watch TV in Bed

This will over stimulate your brain.
