Idk if this is the right place for this but my non ddlg friends and mom friends have no idea how to help so maybe a little that a parent can help or someone can offer advice

daddy and me just welcomed our first child together roughly 3 weeks ago I had a very difficultly pregnancy in and out the hospital so much I pretty much knew all the labor & delivery staff at our small town hospital I feel like during my pregnancy I went straight to mom mode and ignored my little side completely though daddy tried to get me to color and go into little space but so much was going on ignored my little side completely and we adjusting to life with a newborn and my child from a previous relationship and I catch myself wanting to go into little space but quickly snap out of it cause feel guilty like I shouldn’t go into little space cause the baby needs me more which daddy has offered to watch the baby so I can get some little space time and focus on myself and breath and not be on parent mode 24/7 but idk I felt like I wouldn’t feel guilty going into little space like with my oldest child feel like I’m losing myself cause been almost a year since I got into little space and it was something that made me super happy and a huge part of myself now I feel guilt when I think about my little space

WOAH BIG BREATH! First - welcome to baby, Mama! How wonderful - new babies are always a good thing. AND -- new mommies need their own care. Everybody's is different. Sounds like your Daddy is trying really hard to take care of you. As a mama of 4, I'm going to share what I wish I would have done that everyone tried to get me to do when every one of my babies was born. And that's to take the time for yourself. Everyone said, baby will be ok, baby will wait. Baby needs you to be healthy for baby, so take the time for yourself. I never did. And it was not the right choice. Babies would have all been find if I had taken half an hour to color, or have Daddy read to me, or have someone else hold baby so Daddy could cuddle me. Do what is best for your little side. Because that's the side that needs nurturing. You'll do just fine everywhere else, because society will help you, remind you. Let Daddy care for you, help you care for yourself. Sending big stuffy hugs.

Pretty Lil Baby Doll, first, congratulations and best wishes on the birth of your baby!
Please keep in mind that being little is simply an important part of you, however it does not describe you as a whole. 
Enjoy and feel proud of being a mom for as long as you need to without feeling bad or guilty about not being a little for the time being, take your time becoming little again until that happens naturally. 
Best  wishes!

Congratulations Pretty Lil Baby Doll Mama!!! 

Take care of yourself so you can better take care of your baby. If going in your little space is that self-care then don't feel guilty about it. 

It's heartwarming to see that your daddy has offered you the space and time to do that.

Accept that gift from your daddy. Because it is a beautiful gift.

Take care.
