What to do while on Maternity Leave

Your three-month maternity leave was granted to you to spend time with your baby. However, now that they are here, you might have realized that their sleep patterns are very different from your own. There is not much to bond about other than feeding and changing their diapers. It could be a difficult time for any mother, and you might feel a sense of "what do we do now?" after returning home from work with your baby. Here are some suggestions for what you can do during maternity leave.

Repack your Wardrobe
Now that you're done with your pregnancy, it might be time to pack away all your maternity clothes and make space for your regular clothes. You can now wear your jeans again, without worrying about whether someone will notice. You can also see what items are needed and what you can donate to charity. It will also make you feel great knowing that your closet is organized and tailored again.

Netflix and Chill
You can now watch some films you have been meaning to see but haven't had the time. Netflix has a lot of great TV shows and films available on the app. After preparing for your baby the last few months, it's time to relax and get some screen time. You should be looking out for new Netflix series and movies this week - you may find more than just a few to make your head spin or bring tears to your eyes! If you want to learn new skills, you can watch cooking shows or how-to videos. Cooking is an enjoyable hobby that will pay dividends in the future.

Read A Book
Reading a book that you have put off is another great way to pass the time. There are many books in your local library that are great and will never be returned to their shelves again. They can be read online or offline. You're likely to be an avid reader. But who has the time or energy to read while also managing your work and other responsibilities? You do, and you can read as many books you wish in the next few weeks.

Connect
You can join a Facebook group to ask questions about baby care or parenting if you wish. You might be able to share your knowledge with other moms who are just starting out. If you don't know any other moms with kids, this is a great option. You might be able to connect with others who are going through similar stages.

These are just a few ideas of what you can do during maternity leave. Enjoy your baby bundle of joy and make it a memorable time in your life!
