I’m resharing this because those first days matter so much. Here are a few simple, grounding steps to support you in the early postpartum season.
I met with a mamma today and we disussed a postpartum plan customized just for her and her baby. She had made the comment, "You remind me of my grandma". To tell you the truth I was honored. We talked about how my postpartum practice honors the mother and baby during the first 42 days after birth, and that the mother and baby are a unit. We support mother and baby with a nurturing lying in period by providing warm meals, raising mammas oxytocin, providing time for you to get much needed sleep and feeding support. Mamma we encourage you now to begin to start the plan for your postpartum care, it's so important. When a mamma receives help with her baby, she can rest. Most importantly when a mamma is supported, she can get to know her baby. Both mamma and baby can thrive during this time.
