Make sure your basic needs are being met

It’s likely that using the bathroom is going to be mentioned often within this slideshow, which may seem odd to some. However, as strange as it sounds, it’s one of the most ridiculous ways that mothers, especially those of infants, deny themselves. If you scroll the mommy message boards for even a few minutes, you’ll find posts from moms who hold their urine until they damn near pee on themselves because their baby will cry if they set them down to use the bathroom. Your baby will be okay while you take a moment to eat or use the bathroom.
