Let’s be honest — no one really tells you what to wear after having a baby.

In those early postpartum weeks, your body is healing, your hormones are shifting, and your baby is in your arms around the clock. What you wear? It matters more than you think.

From nursing bras that let you go hands-free while pumping, to postpartum leggings that actually support your core — I’ve put together a guide to help you build a fourth trimester wardrobe that feels like you.

Whether you’re planning ahead or already in the thick of it, you deserve comfort, ease, and maybe even a little style.

If you’ve been thinking about booking your postpartum stay with us this summer, this is your gentle nudge: our last week of July is almost fully booked. Just two suites remain.

Why do parents choose Sanu? We’ll let one of our moms share:

"Having someone care for me—not just the baby—was transformational. Sanu gave me structure, calm, and the confidence to ease into motherhood without the chaos."

If that kind of support is what you’ve been craving, now’s the time. DM us or visit the link in bio to claim your spot. 💛

***Most parents don’t realize this, but it could be making your baby dangerously hot...*⁠**
⁠
Covering your stroller or car seat with a blanket—even a thin one—can turn it into a heat trap. Temps inside can spike by 20°F in minutes, putting babies at serious risk of heat stroke.⁠
⁠
Here’s how to keep your baby cool and safe during a heat wave:⁠
⁠
1. No blankets or covers over the stroller or car seat⁠
2. Dress baby in light, breathable fabrics⁠
3. Offer feeds more often to prevent dehydration⁠
⁠
These tips are backed by science—and could save a life.⁠

***New Car Seat Rules Just Went Into Effect***

As of June 30, 2025, car seat safety standards in the U.S. have changed — and parents, this matters.

Here’s what you need to know:

-Car seats must now pass side-impact crash testing (T-bone collisions at 30 mph)
-Infant seats now cap at 30 lbs (was 32–35 lbs)
-Forward-facing minimum raised to 26.5 lbs
-Booster seats now require 40 lbs + 43 inches tall
-Clearer height and weight ranges are now required on ALL new seats

What this means for you:
-No need to replace your current seat if it’s safe, not expired, and properly used
-If you’re shopping for a new seat, check for FMVSS 213a compliant
-Keep kids rear-facing and harnessed longer—it’s safer 💛

Pro tip: You can get your seat checked by a certified tech for free

🌸 Mother's Day wasn’t born in a store—it began with a daughter honoring her mother's strength, service, and love.

Long before flowers and cards, Anna Jarvis created this day to recognize the invisible labor and unmatched devotion of mothers. At Sanu, we carry that legacy forward—with expert postpartum care, luxury recovery experiences, and wraparound support for families in the most tender chapter of life.

This Mother’s Day, let’s return to what matters: rest, healing, and real recognition.

Celebrate motherhood the way it was meant to be honored.

It’s the first physician-developed postpartum retreat in the U.S., and it’s right here in Tysons, Virginia.

It matters who’s in the room.
After birth, when everything feels tender and new—the right care doesn’t just help the baby. It grounds the mother. It supports the partner. It shapes how a family begins.

Meet Morgan, one of our incredible Sanu Doulas. With her calm presence, skilled hands, and intuitive heart, she doesn’t just assist—she uplifts. She sees what’s needed before it’s spoken.

Because postpartum care isn’t just a service.
It’s a love language.
And Morgan speaks it fluently. 🫶✨

✨ Two of the most important science-backed benefits of skin-to-skin for moms?

🤍 It helps your body recover.
Skin-to-skin boosts oxytocin, which supports uterine healing, reduces postpartum bleeding, and promotes breastfeeding.

🤍 It supports your mental health.
Regular skin-to-skin can lower the risk of postpartum depression by calming your nervous system and deepening your bond with baby.

At Sanu, we make space for these moments—from the first hour to your final night.

Dads, did you take your parental leave? Or did it feel like you weren’t “supposed” to?

Forbes recently published a piece on dads not taking parental leave. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2025/03/03/dads-who-dont-use-their-paid-leave-are-losing-out-on-family-bonding-and-money/

Sanu founder, Julia, talks about her own experience with her husband's parental leave. "When I had my first son, my husband was lucky to have 12 weeks of paid leave (and 8 weeks for our second). But even with that time, I could tell—it felt too long to him. Like there was something unsaid about a dad stepping away from work for that long."

He’s not alone. Too many fathers don’t take their full leave—whether it’s because of workplace culture, career worries, or the outdated idea that newborn care is “mom’s job.” But here’s the truth:

👶 Your baby needs you.
❤️ Your partner needs you.
⏳ That time? You won’t get it back.

At Sanu Postnatal Retreat, we see the difference when partners are fully present. Moms recover better. Babies thrive. And parents step into their roles as a team.

So, dads, let’s talk: Did you take your parental leave? Why or why not? Drop a comment below! 👇
