Or just be Glamour Mum yourself. I am! OK, I'm lucky, I had my old clothes on before I left the hospital, I kept my great skin and hair until my period returned, DS was OK with me doing lipstick, eyeshadow, mascara while he watched and tried to copy, but the amount of times a less-glam friend was looked down on for babywearing while the same person told me how wonderful my babywearing was (almost identical slings) - seriously. 10 seconds for makeup and all of a sudden your parenting choices are right.
Having said that, a lot of people didn't want to be friends with me when our babies were small. It wasn't until everyone started feeling "normal" again and they could see I wasn't superwoman that some even spoke to me in our groups!
