Postpartum Support is truly life changing for families! ๐งก
This week, I am doing overnights with 3 of our postpartum families! I was there with each of these mama's supporting them in pregnancy, labor/birth, and it is such an honor to be there to support and care for them during their pospartum as well.
Having built that relationship with them in pregnancy, these mama's can rest easy, knowing they will be carefully cared for, honored and listened to and held. We've seen them at their most vulnerable place in labor and birth and are here to support them in the trenches of postpartum when they are struggling with exhaustion, hormone swings, the struggles that come with breastfeeding and learning how to meet the needs of this new little person in your life, and that coupled with their own healing journey. It can be overwhelming and stressful. That's where having that postpartum support can be life changing. WE SEE YOU STRUGGLING and are THERE TO HELP! You do not have to go through postpartum alone! ๐งก
Last night, after i arrived at my shift, I chatted with my sweet family about the struggles they have been facing, things they were dealing with, with the baby and they desperately needed sleep. While they slept and baby was sleeping, i did laundry for them, then baby woke up so I fed and changed and got baby back to sleep, then did more laundry and got that finished, spent more time snuggling and rocking baby, A LOT last night. This little one did not want to sleep, but baby is dealing with an eczema flare up, which is causing so much discomfort. ๐ญ I was able to soothe and get him back to sleep, and then sanitized the bottles, before it was time to get him up, changed and ready for the day. The smiles I got, once this little one was awake this morning were absolutely the BEST! His parents were rested and reset, ready to take on a few more days! ๐ฅฐ
This is what postpartum support looks like. It's not glamorous, but to me, it fills my heart with so much joy, because I KNOW these mama's are being taken care of. Their healing is priority, as well as their rest, their mental and emotional health are in check, because we have those real, honest conversations, we make sure they are eating healthy nutritious foods and are staying hydrated, taking their vitamins and supplements and doing all the things to help support their bodies. It is a TEAM effort... together YOU CAN DO THIS and thrive!
I'm off to go see another postpartum mama and her sweet baby, and give a postpartum massage! Then tonight, ill be at my next postpartum family and I can not wait to spend time supporting them! ๐ฅฐ Have a lovely day, friends!
