Did you give birth recently?
Mazel Tov!
Your life has changed from end to end and not only in terms of the energy and devotion you invest in the new baby, but also in your habits and behavior, mother, which have taken on a new character following the baby's addition to the family.
So what are the signs that you are a new mother, with which anyone who has been (or still is) in your situation can identify with them?
We have collected some of the most prominent behaviors that characterize the first weeks and months of parenthood and we are sure they will be familiar to you.
Shall we begin?
Hot coffee - remember what it is?
probably not.
Because every time you make yourself coffee, the baby, miraculously, demands your attention.
And so the coffee gets cold for him, morning after morning, and you already give up beforehand and drink it lukewarm or cold, and you've even gotten used to it and started to like the taste.
When you shake the stroller without a baby in it
Is the baby even in the carrier but the hand continues to shake the empty stroller?
Or can you find yourself in the supermarket, without him, rocking the shopping cart back and forth?
This is what is called "Welcome to Motherhood".
There isn't a single one that hasn't had it happen to her, so you're definitely in good company.
When it is no longer necessary to set an alarm clock,
the function of the alarm clock on the phone is a bit redundant when you have a cute human alarm clock that makes sure you are always awake, especially too early.
Right?
That the TV works with almost no sound and your phone only vibrates,
the baby's sleep is sacred, therefore any noise that might wake him up is a big no no.
Therefore and accordingly, the volume of the television is so weak, and luckily there are subtitles for almost every program.
Your phone has also switched to vibrate mode from time to time, and it is also in very light sleep mode and can wake up the baby and make you curse the texter/caller.
that you suddenly started being late for places
From the most punctual person there is, you suddenly started to flex the concept of time and in other words - after.
That's how it is to have someone at home who takes a lot of time to organize him, diaper him, diaper him again, change the clothes that got dirty during the diapering, pack a huge bag for two hours outside or simply wait for him to wake up from an unplanned sleep.
That you find yourself looking at his pictures after he falls asleep
if you thought it was just you - wrong.
Many mothers find themselves scrolling through pictures of the baby on the phone right when he falls asleep, thus "stealing" more time with him until he wakes up.

that you sometimes give up flushing the toilet at night,
do you pee in the middle of the night?
Going to the bathroom will look like a secret operation - in the dark, on tiptoe, and there are those who will even give up turning the water down so that the noise doesn't wake the baby up.
And that you've gotten used to leaving the door open when you're in the bathroom
, if it's a bathroom, then you probably don't really remember what it's like to close the door after you.
You need to be attentive all the time and usually also stay within the baby's sight range.
So privacy in the bathroom?
less.
that you are holding back for long hours to pee because he just fell asleep on you
and one last thing about toilets - I'm sure you found yourself holding back more than once to pee for hours because the baby just fell asleep on you and you don't want to risk waking him up when you put him to bed.
That suddenly you will have new friends-mothers, both virtual and in reality
An appointment for a drop of milk can yield you a new friendship with a mother who is just waiting for her appointment, as well as an activity for mothers and little ones that you sign up for or a tour of the store for baby products.
Mothers on maternity leave connect very quickly with mothers like them out of the shared destiny, and you can find many new friends right here at Jama.

The Jama application was established with the aim of responding to mothers of babies between the ages of birth and three, and to gather for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.
All the content in the application "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to the stages of his development, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.
The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and to create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
