Bonding with Baby After Work (Even When I’m Exhausted)

Switching from work mode to mom mode isn’t easy - after a full day of my corporate job, it can be hard to feel like I have adequate energy to be fully “on” for my toddler. But even when you're running on fumes, there are small, meaningful ways to reconnect with your baby after work.

Try These:

• A 10-minute walk outside with your baby (baby-wearing when they’re small enough can add an extra layer of connection)

• Reading a short book together

• Singing during diaper changes or bathtime

• Baby massage before bed

Tip: If you can, try to turn off distractions around you. Just 15 minutes of focused connection can be just what both you and your baby need!
