Many would argue that new mum Kareena Kapoor Khan has the luxury to hire a full-time help to take care of her son Taimur, as she goes out and about her daily activities carefree. But why is that so bad?
All new mothers would agree that becoming a parent is not an easy task. It takes a tremendous amount of patience and confidence to take care of somebody who is completely dependent on you. And sometimes such a responsibility needs support, whether from friends or family.
And it looks like Kareena is not shy to ask for help when needed.
Bebo's girlfriends helping her relax
The new parents hired help soon after Taimur's birth. In fact, his nanny was seen carrying him during a dinner function to naani Babita's home.
As for emotional help, Kareena relies on her sister Karisma and her best friends Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Arora Ladak.
These new pictures posted by Karisma and Malaika are proof that the ladies are helping Kareena ease into her new role by taking her out from time to time. They spend a few hours with each other, have fun chatting session, pose together and move back into their roles as mothers.
The gorgeous ladies shared several pictures of their gala time together on their social media handles and as Karisma recently put it, no one needs to worry about Taimur because Bebo is a pro at motherhood.
The new maasi said, "Before I was rushing back from work for my kids and now I have another little baby to go to. It's a lot of excitement. Kareena is a pro at motherhood. She is superb."
Taimur is never without one parent
While all her friends are trying to help Bebo relaxed, the new mum is very well aware of her motherly duties. Even though she has help, she has always maintained that Taimur is never without one parent.
"Saif is with Taimur while I am here for the chat..so he delayed his meeting so that he could stay with Taimur and I could come here for this. Taimur is never without one parent because we always ensure that one of us is with him. About being all out and open, well, I am not trying to set an example. I am just living my life and I want to feel happy about it. I want him to know that we are actors and we are like this. I hope people appreciate that," she recently told the media.
While Kareena may be taking a few hours off from being a hands-on mother to spend time with her friends and sister, it doesn't make her any less of a great mother to her son.
In fact, doing so can help a new mother come back to her baby all refreshed and rejuvenated. That's perhaps the reason why new mother must try to maintain their social life.
3 reasons new mums need to socialise
- Helps to cool off: Being a new parent is perhaps one of most difficult jobs for which nobody would ever thank you. So if you need some time off, you must take it. There is no shame in not being a supermum, but yes, if you are always exhausted then you cannot really focus on your baby's needs and give your hundred percent.
- Helps to know you're not alone: Every new parent feels that he/she is the only one to go through a difficult phase of understanding their newborn. But that's not true. So when you socialise with your friends, you realise that you are not alone in this journey and there are many like you who are struggling and yet learning each day.
- Helps to get guidance: Sometimes you may not be doing the absolute correct thing for your baby and it helps when you talk to other new parents. You can learn a lot from their parenting style and they can learn from yours. So socialising and meeting friends and families can actually be beneficial you and your baby.
