I'm feeling very on brand as a perinatal and pediatric family chiropractor today! This morning I reviewed prenatal chiropractic care and made a meal for a recently postpartum friend and her family.
Looking for some thoughtful ways to support new moms and their families?
✨ Surprise them with a meal, considering any dietary restrictions or preferences. Sometimes dropping it off at their doorstep is best - just ask first.
✨ Offer to clean something, anything for them.
✨ Provide childcare for their older kids for an afternoon.
✨ Ask the mom if she'd appreciate you holding the baby while she showers or naps.
✨ If you're far away, consider sending a gift card for a meal delivery service, gifting a professional cleaning session, or contributing to a postpartum doula.
Personally, my favorite forms of support after giving birth were gifts of food and time to shower without worrying about “phantom cries.” How about you - what kind of support meant the most to you after having a baby? 👇🏼
