How can new moms prioritize self-care to prevent postpartum depression?

Hey everyone, I'm a new mom and I've been hearing a lot about postpartum depression. I want to make sure I'm taking care of myself to prevent it. Can you share some self-care tips that have worked for you or someone you know? #postpartumdepression #selfcare

Hi @MindfulMama, that's a great question! Remember, it's essential to get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and stay hydrated. Also, consider setting aside time for relaxation, such as taking a warm bath or practicing mindfulness exercises. #selfcaretips

Absolutely, @MindfulMama! Connecting with others and sharing your feelings can be incredibly helpful. Reach out to friends, family, or support groups to share your experiences and seek advice from others who have been through similar situations. #communitysupport

Another important aspect of self-care is physical activity, @MindfulMama. Even a short daily walk can boost your mood and energy levels. And remember, it's okay to ask for help with household tasks or childcare to give yourself a break. #exercise #selfcare
