June Oasis

Many mothers are taught how to prepare for birth, but not enough are taught how to prepare for recovery.

At June Oasis, maternal wellness is approached through the MOTHER Framework, which is a restoration-centered model designed to support the whole mother through pregnancy and postpartum.

Because before anything else, we must:
Mother the Mother. 🤍

M — Mental & Emotional Wellbeing
O — Overall Nourishment
T — Time & Transition
H — Healing & Hormonal Recovery
E — Environment & Everyday Function
R — Resources & Relationships

A mother cannot pour from an empty cup.

Restoration begins when mothers are supported mentally, physically, emotionally, environmentally, and within community.

Postpartum recovery is not always about doing more.

Sometimes the body is asking for support. Sometimes it is asking to be replenished.

Today’s reminder: exhaustion is not always a reflection of your strength.

Nourishment is part of restoration. 🌿🤍

When is the last time you checked on a new mother and not just the baby?

Supporting a mother goes beyond holding or tending to the baby. Real support comes from helping reduce the mental, physical, and emotional load that can come with postpartum recovery and early motherhood.

In many traditional healing practices, the first 40 days after birth are viewed as one of the most important periods of a mother’s recovery. The care, nourishment, rest, and support received during that time can influence long-term wellbeing physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Support can look like:
- Providing warm and nourishing meals
- Helping create a calm environment
- Checking on her emotional wellbeing
- Offering help without waiting to be asked
- Allowing space for rest without guilt
- Helping with daily responsibilities

Many mothers are praised for being “strong” while quietly carrying exhaustion, overstimulation, and emotional burnout alone. Stepping in as a village can help reduce that burden.

Support should not disappear after birth. Consistent care, community, and safe support systems all play a role in how mothers recover and adjust through early motherhood.

Motherhood was never meant to be carried alone.

Healing cannot happen in survival mode ❕❕

One of the biggest problems with postpartum recovery is that many mothers are expected to keep going like nothing happened after giving birth.

Rest becomes inconsistent. Meals become rushed or skipped. Water intake gets overlooked. Mental recovery gets ignored. Support also tends to fade once the excitement around the baby slows down.

Over time, exhaustion becomes so normal that many mothers stop seeing it as burnout and start seeing it as part of motherhood.

Real recovery starts with basic needs first. Before mothers can get back to routines, work, responsibilities, or feeling like themselves again, the body and mind need proper rest, nourishment, emotional support, and safe environments to heal.

Many women are taught to push through recovery instead of being given the space to recover properly. That is why so many mothers struggle silently during postpartum and early motherhood.

Restoration is not laziness. Support is not weakness. Basic needs are not optional during healing.

Support should not end after birth.

The psychological consequences of a miscarriage are often lasting and profound. This study brings to light what I think many of us know to be true.

The aftermath of a miscarriage is something that needs to be acknowledged and taken seriously by our medical system.

Support should be available. Qualified counseling should be offered. No one should have to suffer in silence.

Sending love to everyone currently processing or grieving a loss. You are not alone. 🧡

PSI is here to help, you do not have to go through this alone.

🤱 THE PERFECT LATCH 🤱
The latch is so important because it is THE point of contact where the breast milk transfers from you to your baby.

If you’re not latched right, your ni***es can become very sore, and that kind of soreness can definitely lead to giving up early!

❤️ It’s not normal to feel pain while breastfeeding
❤️ While you may feel some discomfort when they initially start, once the ni**le is in the right position far back in the baby’s mouth, there should be no pain
❤️ When the baby is nursing correctly, the tip of your ni**le is way back in the baby’s mouth

Tips to achieve the perfect latch:
💜 Aim their nose, not their mouth, at your ni**le
💜 Latch the baby on with their lower jaw first
💜 Make sure your baby’s head is tilted back so their eyes are looking at your elbow or your armpit
💜 After your baby is latched properly, their lips should also be flanged out like a fish and not tucked in
💜 In order to get the deep latch that is needed, you’ll need to pull your baby close to your body
💜 You should never have to press on your breast for your baby to breathe while nursing, no matter how large your breasts are

After your baby is properly latched and you have triggered the milk to let down, you will start to see your baby sucking and swallowing by watching the baby’s jaw and listening for the swallowing sound.

Some facts about nuchal cords:

🔆 Nuchal cords are incredibly common, occurring in an estimated 1 of 3 births.

🔆 They are very rarely dangerous.

🔆 Fetuses receive oxygen through the umbilical cord, not by breathing through the mouth or nose, so a cord around the neck is not cutting off their air like it would for you or me. If the cord is left in tact, the baby can still be receiving oxygen from the placenta for several minutes after birth.

🔆 Most babies with a nuchal cord have one that is very loose and it can be simply slipped over the head after birth. There is usually no indication of the nuchal cord at all.

🔆 The main way for a nuchal cord to be harmful (if the cord is healthy) is if it is wrapped multiple times and is so tight that it compresses itself, thereby decreasing blood flow inside, or if there is a true knot so tight that it does the same (rare). The cord would have to be extremely tight to cut off blood flow between the body and brain.

🔆 Nuchal cord is very difficult to identify before birth, even with ultrasound.

🔆 You do not need to have a c-section solely due to a suspected nuchal cord.

🔆 Medications given during a birth induction/augmentation can cause erratic & extra strong contractions, causing heart decelerations in the fetus. If a c-section is performed and a nuchal cord is discovered, it is frequently blamed (though the cause was more likely the induction meds). This can lead the mother to feel her baby was "saved" by the hospital staff, when they may have actually been the ones to CAUSE the issues the baby was "saved" from.

🔆 A healthy umbilical cord is filled with a gelatinous substance called Wharton's Jelly that protects the cord vessels as a fetus twists and turns its way inside the uterus.
