In the postpartum season, there are many things out of our control. Especially the first few months. This includes the babies feeding, sleeping, and elimination schedule. The baby you just birthed will flip the routine you once had. Sorry Mama, just keeping it 100. However, you can support your recovery process. Nourishment in the form of consumption of wholesome foods and proper hydration can be supported. Physical and mental rest can be managed to an extent. Lastly, mental clarity and energy can be balanced to a degree. 

Today I want to share with you what I am doing to support a thriving experience practically. This includes meeting the needs of my healing body, the demand for producing milk that flows and is nourishing for the baby, and the demand for natural energy, despite the inevitable loss of sleep at this time. Just as the baby has a period where they must recover from exiting the birth canal and learn how to integrate into a new environment, mothers should too. Pregnancy and giving birth are extremely strenuous mentally and physically. Athletes traditionally prepare the night before a competition with specialized nutrition, proper hydration, and adequate rest and support. Similarly, mothers in postpartum must share that same mindset and practice to thrive and support their best lives in the postpartum season and beyond.
