Get your glow back

continued from page 1

  • If your nails are weak this could suggest that you need more minerals, including zinc, but also calcium. Good sources of calcium, for healthy teeth as well, include semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, calcium enriched soya milk, yoghurt, reduced-fat cheese, green leafy vegetables, tinned salmon or sardines (with the bones), nuts and seeds.

  • Breast feeding is definitely best for baby. However, you need to make sure that you are drinking sufficient water, up to 2.5-3 litres daily. This helps to keep skin smooth and your digestive system working well.

  • Make sure you take time out for yourself and give yourself a beauty treat on a regular basis. AVENT have a great range of skincare to help you get that glow back and make you feel more pampered. For instance, the indulgent body cream helps to de-stress, firm, smooth and moisturise your skin.

  • You need your sleep now more than ever and if baby is waking up during the night it is worth grabbing a couple of half-hour day-time snoozes while baby is dozing. It is always tempting to do more tasks when baby is asleep but you need to take a break. You will feel refreshed and energised if you do this.

  • You can also get your glow back through exercise. A gentle exercise such as walking or swimming is ideal. Take your baby with you or leave baby with Dad or Grandparents for a while, and treat yourself to an afternoon out. You can express milk for them to give baby in your AVENT Airflex bottle.
