064: Prioritizing Nourishment, Support, and Rest for New Mothers During the Postpartum Period

So much of a new mother's attention is focused on her newborn in the postpartum stage. Understandably so, a new mom should also be taken care of, and her health made a priority so she has the energy and clarity for her new role in motherhood.

During pregnancy, your body is devoted to your baby, but taking the time to be mindful of your nutrition once the baby arrives isn't self-indulgent, it's necessary.

After pregnancy, you are more susceptible to anemia, osteopenia, fatigue, and depression. Consuming a nutrient-dense diet will enrich your milk with the nutrients necessary to help your baby's brain and body grow and develop.

In this episode, I cover all the things new mothers need to do (and not do) after the baby is born. From who to have around in your home to what foods and supplements to take. I hope this helps you in some way on your postpartum journey.
