Affirmations for New Parents

The postpartum period can be filled with many moments of joy and also moments of challenge. This is to be expected as new parents’ bodies are changing and finding a new groove. Here at The Center, we believe that parents who are supported, educated, and connected with parent communities are more likely to have positive experiences. Aside from support, having tools in your back pocket can also be helpful. Below is a list of affirmations to remind you that you are a wonderful parent and you are doing the best you can. We are so proud to be with you on this journey!

Affirmations are most effective when repeated often with a positive and open mindset. By incorporating affirmations into your daily routine, you are manifesting these statements into reality.
