Having a child is one of the most joyous milestones of your life. There are endless happiness, celebration and the euphoria that comes from being a mum. However, more often than not, it does take a toll even on the most passionate relationships, which tend to fizzle out when you start juggling your baby, responsibilities and romance.

You can’t help but hop on this roller-coaster ride of parenthood, which can sometimes lead to a burnout. Don’t let the arrival of your newborn wear away the romance with your partner. Here’s a primer on how mums can rekindle the romance with their partners.

Rope in Help

The first tip is to get additional help with the baby as this will help you focus on your partner for a while. Look around and you’ll find help aplenty; there will be family and friends, who will come to your rescue by offering to babysit your kid(s) as you leave home for a night or two for a rendezvous. And even if help isn’t nearby, you can always dial B for Babysitting and hire a professional to do the job to take timeout from parenting. Easy!

Every Night is Date Night

Remember the fun times you had when you began dating your partner?
Bring those fond memories back by keeping the flame of passion burning eternally. To begin with, you can create a date night at home itself while your kids sleep soundly in the nursery. It can start with a breakfast in bed and end with a tall glass of wine by the fireplace as you spend the night reminiscing the old times. Nothing elaborate, but nothing ordinary either!

Add The Aphrodisiacs

Ditch over-the-counter products and include natural aphrodisiacs in your diet as these work magic for a session of intense lovemaking with your partner. Think oysters, chocolate, honey, figs, strawberries, cherries and pumpkin seeds, salmon, asparagus, pomegranate and red wine, which are known for spicing things up many notches. You can also opt for aromatherapy for the same purpose.

Try Different Methods To Get Intimate

Move over different positions as there are more ways to get intimate than you can ever imagine. To begin with, you can transform your bedroom into a romance cave with scented candles, flowers, wine and everything in between. Too boring? Book a room in a hotel or a cozy resort for an instant getaway and refreshing sex! Fan the flame further by using a vaginal tightening wand and see a visible difference that it adds to the intimacy!

Make Love More Often

Making love has several benefits, which have been spoken about in detail. One of them is that it boosts your confidence and keeps the love alive. Moreover, having intimate moments on an almost daily basis lessens the exhaustion and stress, which accompanies parenthood.

Make Small Moments Count

After having a baby/kids, there will be comparatively fewer moments when you’ll find some couple time to do some couple things with your partner. Make each of these moments count. Be it stealing a kiss while putting the baby to sleep or whispering nothings in the ears, you have to win at this. Remember how you couldn’t keep your hands off each other? Go on, indulge in extra PDAs to show your love, affection and admiration for each other.

Do Things Out of the Blue

It’s a great idea to take your partner by surprise once in a while. It can be something as trivial as doing their chores out of turn or giving them an amazing massage right before bedtime. Alternatively, you can order their favorite takeaways and you know, Netflix and Chill! You can even surprise them by flirting with them non-stop using different methods such as leaving notes using a lipstick on the bathroom mirror or preparing a sexy scavenger hunt. You get the hint!

Indulge In Some Art

Art is therapeutic. Period. You don’t need to be a master of any art form to randomly engage in artistic activities with your partner. For instance, you can both attend a salsa class together, learn how to create a terrarium or recreate the classic scene from Ghost during pottery. Even trying out DIY (so what if it is a failed attempt) from endless pins on Pinterest can help you both bond over something else apart from your kid(s)!

When life gives you a newborn, accept with an open heart and use these tips to continue the everlasting spell of love with your partner. All the same, you can bond over your little one(s) in more ways than one and thoroughly enjoy this new phase together. There’s no limit to what you can or can’t do! So go ahead and take the chance!
