I often hear many new mothers saying, "I am tired because the baby is getting up through out the night". My reply is sleep when the baby sleeps. Many mothers feel they should run errands, clean the house, make phone calls and grocery shop when the baby is asleep. I am not saying these things shouldn't get done, but take the time out and rest before you burn yourself out. Taking care of baby can be exhausting, because mother sometimes forget they need to take care of themselves. It is very important that you get enough sleep to rejuvenate your body. Studies have shown women sometimes get depressed and gain weight.
So I say to all of the new mothers out there, when you place your sleeping baby down for a nap, get some ZZZZ! yourself.

This is very good advice I am not a mother but I can only imagine the amount of fatigue a new mother has from a newborn and crying this is a great tip for future reference !
