Some of these are not fun...
Most important is learning your own body and baby's needs.

I did have midwives who said one beer at night. This was really helpful for my restlessness from being 'on' all day when Maya was fresh from the womb. I would have a beer and then would be able to relax, and this would support my milk to come down. A good measure is to wait two hours after drinking.

I do know some people who limit dairy, wheat, honey and also camomile. If your baby is vomiting and unable to keep your breastmilk down, try eliminating all soy products. If your baby is screaming, try less rich dairy foods.

How do we as a community deal with postpartum mental health? Mom's need attention, not overmedication. When people in communities are suffering, I think they need to be held. I am also so surprised that no one gives the mom a break from the kids to give herself well needed care.
