I suffer from baby blues, is there something I can do with out taking a percription for it? As i am breatfeeding and don't want to pass the drugs to my daughter.

One thing that has helped me when I feel low in energy is to actually go do something like going for a dip in the pool– a wonderful way to heal. In an hour, I will sit in the hot tub, baby pool and big pool moving from all the pools ( at my local center) and just float. I might do aqua fit exercise that I know but not always. Sometimes when I would be really tired and drained and not sure how I made it to the pool I will float more. Just allowing the water to move my body. I have found by doing this I am listening to my body more. I have also found by not pushing myself to be active with a lot of excercise but to just breath quiety to myself I am able to relax. This helps for either the rest of the day or before bed to help me sleep better. But then there are also other days where I will be more active and that has helped as well. Such as doing heavy garden work can be very healing as you are focused on the earth which will allow you to take a moment away from baby. One last thing is to be with yourself. Listen to your body and just take one day at a time. Realize some days you will have a lot of energy and some days not so much. Listen to your baby as well as they are going through a lot of changes. It's OK not to do everything at once.
