One thing I hope this Support List doesn’t leave out is how important it is to change your scenery and get outside! Sometimes loading up the baby, diaper bag, pump parts and cooler full of bottles seems like too much and it’s easier just to stay home. For the first few months I did just stay home because it felt easier, but I also feel like I started to almost isolate myself too. We’ve started going out more and staying out for longer periods of time and while it can be tiring, I’ve noticed for myself that I feel soooo much better. Getting out of the house, even for just an hour or two, and spending time with family and friends has given my mental health the biggest boost! I know it can be daunting packing up a baby and heading out, but it can also be so good for both you and your baby to get outside, change up that scenery, and breathe some fresh air!![]()

I always feel so so much better after getting outside!!! Our summer has been brutally hot, scary storms and just so wet it’s been so hard to get out
I can’t wait for it to cool down a bit so I can get out of the house with my girls, we’re needing it!
First of all this pic is adorable!! And second of all I think this is such a good message. Plus it helps break up the day! I find that if I stay home too many days in a row it starts to wear on me. On the days where I feel like I have more energy on the morning I try to lean into that and see if I can bring my twinnies out that’s my best bet lol
This is a tip I needed to hear! Going outside makes me feel better and more relaxed ![]()
It definitely makes a huge difference!

Yes! It’s the BEST. Doesn’t last very long maybe 10-16 minutes at a time if that but well worth it!
Me too! I’d do anything to see that big cheese!
Oh I feel that! My family has made fun of me for worrying so much about her in the heat, but we don’t do 100 degree weather we’ll find an indoor activity ![]()

Yes definitely helps to break the day up! I love a good day at home but too many can definitely make me a little crazy so we’re all into finding free activities out and about![]()
Same! Especially even a 10 minute drive, where she’s happy in the back seat and I can drive and turn on some music in the front and not be needed for just a few minutes!
Even just stepping outside on my porch, something about being outside gives a good reset
Verrrry healing![]()
