I think that every mother should stay with her baby during the first year of a child's life. It is certainly not easy. Life is changing, so there are a lot of worries with the child that require time and understanding. Also, a lot of skills and abilities are required that have never been needed before.
However, between baby and mother there is an invisible thread. The baby needs his mom to be around and feel her warmth, and hear her breath. He knows her smell and the smell of milk, feels it and it calms him down.
Young moms should try to do without babysitters, even when they are your grandmothers and grandfathers. Let them free you by cooking and cleaning the house.
The birth of a child is an amazing, blessed journey. In the first year it is the most bright, most emotional and difficult, of course, but what are the difficulties compared to the happiness of motherhood?
