The Birth and Postpartum Diaries
13 | Things I wish I knew about postpartum & things I implemented that helped in the postpartum phase
Today is a solo episode where I share things that I wish I knew about postpartum, along with things that I did know (and implemented) that really helped.
I discuss things such as:
- meal prep and having ALL THE FOOD ready!
- what worked for me with breastfeeding
- how friendships may change
- postpartum hair loss
- body image
- how we got Grace to take the boob or a bottle
- the change of priorities
- how we divide tasks
- how I down-regulated my nervous system and managed to get some sleep in the first few weeks postpartum
- fighting the loneliness that can come with new motherhood
...plus way more!
