What should I do to reduce stress after having a baby?

Here are some ways to keep a clear head now that baby is here: Sleep (or at least rest) when the baby sleeps. Delegate or ignore all non-essential tasks. If you don't regularly rely on housekeeping help, invest in a weekly housecleaner for the first few weeks (great shower gift!).

Monitor your moods. Enlist breastfeeding support, if necessary - lactation consultants are often available at hospitals/birthing clinics, others make house calls; info is also available through La Leche League. Limit visitors, ideally to only those who are helping you.

Get out of the house and go for a stroll - with or without baby. Join a new-moms group (check your local Y) or mommy-and-me exercise group (such as Strollercize). If you plan to return to work and use in-home childcare, interview nannies.

Ask for help - don't try to be Supermom. Relax, trust your instincts, and try to enjoy being a mom!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
