Coffee With Other Mums Is Necessary

The mother is responsible not only for looking after her own personal well-being, but also for the well-being of her children, and in many cases also for managing the home and professional occupations outside the home.

Being a mother is not easy. That’s why a coffee with other mothers is necessary. We’ll explain why.

Even under the best of circumstances, every mother faces changes and problems every day. Stress is a natural reaction to physical, emotional and environmental pressures.

Furthermore, the whole family is harmed when the mother’s stress is out of control, especially young children . It has been shown that even fetuses respond differently when the mother is stressed. 

Stress itself is not negative. Experts on the subject assure that the important thing is to have a stress level that makes us more dynamic, without causing us any harm. Something that is closely related to the degree of tolerance that each individual has.

As a general rule, all mothers have the feeling that the day does not have enough hours, that there is always a rush to arrive late and that in practice it is very difficult to reconcile family and work. This is known as burnout syndrome.

We realized that raising and raising newborn children until they become independent adults creates concrete and similar conflicts for many of us, for example:

• Feeling very tired, but not identifying and managing the emotions that this generates
• The difficulty of connecting with our child’s character
• Not being able to reconcile motherhood with the life you dreamed of living
• The mismatch with the partner
• The specific conflicts that each stage of our child’s development generates
• The collapse of the perfect mother figure
• The feeling of guilt that accompanies each decision

• the fear of making mistakes

What’s the solution?

Therefore, it is necessary to create awareness and it is ideal to create an adequate and respectful space.

In this space, through the biographical review of each mother and the personal sharing of common experiences, learning management techniques can gain new solutions to everyday conflicts.

This is a group for exchanging information and discussing motherhood as an individual experience. These types of groups are called “Baby Café”.

What is a Baby Café?

Baby Cafés were born in hospitals in the United Kingdom, where spaces were established where breastfeeding mothers would come together to breastfeed their babies and share their experiences.

The general public can receive medical advice about the benefits for both mother and baby.

It is important that the Baby Café takes place in a clinical, calm, informal, safe and pleasant environment for children, where mothers can breastfeed the baby in a normal way and take care of the child.

Also, mothers have to get to know other mothers who breastfeed their babies. In any case, the possibility of entering this space free of charge and the involvement of the surroundings that enable its establishment is essential.

Unfortunately, we don’t find these types of groups in many cities, especially if they are small. Therefore, the best alternative is to have coffee with other mothers you know and who share a similar view of motherhood.

However, being able to be with a friend who has not yet been through motherhood also helps a lot to give a new look to your daily life.

friendship and motherhood

Whether we like it or not, there comes a time when motherhood absorbs a lot of our time, leaving aside issues that may be important to people in general . Motherhood often distances us from our friends who are not yet mothers.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that we no longer have anything in common with them. We can have thousands of things, but changes in our lifestyle can affect the relationship we had.

When we are mothers, our priorities change and our children take the highest place. However, our friends are important and it’s very healthy to be able to take a moment to be with them.
