I have yet to meet a new mother who doesn’t put on the cape and become super mom, even in the trenches of newborn life. It’s undeniable that new mothers are often shouldering the majority of the responsibility for caring for their newborn, especially if their partner has to go back to work quite early in the postpartum season. Our overculture praises mothers who can “do it all”, when instead we should be giving new mothers permission not to. We need to give new mothers permission to accept and rely on support, because this is exactly what the tender physiological healing process of postpartum demands. Support in this season is a biological necessity, and when we ignore this need for resourcing, it affects mother’s long term health and vitality. The trickle down effect of resourced mothers are healthier babies, families, and communities 🤎
If there’s a new mother in your life you’d like to help resource, or want to know more about postpartum doula support, send me DM or email me through my website, link in bio ✨
And to all the super moms out there, we see you, we love you, and we want you to take care of you too 🤎
