Postpartum Support: What Mom's Actually Need


Listen Later

Postpartum isn’t only about being a good dad — it’s about being a good partner.

In this episode, we’re talking directly to partners (and the moms who want to send this to them) about what actually helps in the postpartum season — and what doesn’t.

We cover what dads should expect after birth, how to truly support a postpartum mom, and why this season isn’t about doing everything “right,” but about showing up in the ways that matter.

We talk about:

  • Why things said in the middle of the night don’t count the next day 😅

  • Whether dads should take the baby to pediatrician appointments

  • Why we need to stop enabling husbands — they are fully capable

  • Letting go of “he’s not doing it the right way (aka your way)”

  • The real value of rest and only taking care of baby in postpartum

  • Why moms shouldn’t feel guilty for “not doing enough”

  • How dads can take ownership of scheduling, check-ins, and emotional support

  • Postpartum sex, changing needs, and honest communication

  • And why postpartum is less about being a great father and more about being a great partner

If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or want your partner to truly understand what support looks like after a baby — this is the episode to send them.


XX,

Natasha & Taylor
