Mom’s Brain Grows
Posted by: Derek in Brain Foods-Smarten Up!, Be 1 of The 3 Wise Men, Sleep 8 Hours-Lights,TV Off!, Be The Vibrant WomanStudies show women’s brains grow after giving birth, yet they sleep 3-5 hours: Mom you all need 8 !
- The demands of giving birth, and becoming responsible for a new life that you have co created, are intense and immediate. These intense experiences all come so quickly, sapping a woman’s strength and energy, much of which she has just passed to her new little angel, with father nearside, holding hands, nurturing. Which mom will need so very much in the months, and several years in particular, as much as her new baby.
- Studies also show that new moms get 3-5 hours sleep, new dads not much more. And studies show that we need 8 hours of sleep nightly to recharge our bodies and re create our melatonin levels to allow our required 8 hours of sleep. And yet new mom’s, whose brains begin to expand immediately as they try to think clearly with their body chemistry askew, get inadequate sleep, and too many baby safety gadgets make that worse, going off for every squirm. New moms have to pay attention to when the baby is too quiet, or too noisy: mothers soon get to have eyes in the back of their heads, fathers also if they are also at home raising the child, which is a wonderful thing for the child in a home parenting environment as long as it is happy and nurturing. And a family routine will evolve.
- But for the time, may be useful for mom, or dad, get catch up sleep. Mom might want to buy dad an early birthday present, use his card and buy a great new barbeque grill, which dad’s love to take charge of: get Him a Chef’s White Bib that says CHEF or I Am the Boss, and mom go get some cat naps while dad promises no burnt parts, medium rare steak, yams and yellow peppers safely wrapped in aluminum foil; get him the large econo pack of foil, meats, fruits and veggies. You need a new fridge, with two doors, a fridge freezer, get the pure water filtration system now with a family to keep healthy, connect to the ice maker in the fridge, never worry again about your ice cubes in your health drinks. And you can have someone shop once a week and stack your larger new fridge freezer. Fit for life.

Bottom line is, mom needs to catch up on her sleep, her body is recovering, her mind expanding
- For a new mother, this is most primal experience of life, the most awesome moments. While all very exciting, new motherhood can be scary and overwhelming. Aunt Agatha and I have had our times through it, but pressures are so much more now. So get him the nicest all meal all season grill, mom, and enjoy. So let’s grill that steak, Jake, help the new mom, make her tum hum, she’ll love ya tomorrow, you just need to borrow, from Cary Grant, or was that Hugh, on how to grill on your barbeque…
Good luck, mom, dad, and baby. Be the Best glorious flowers you can be. Derek Dashwood and your Dash for Power Team
