064: Prioritizing Nourishment, Support, and Rest for New Mothers During the Postpartum Period 38:01

17 days ago38:01

38:01

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. Share this episode with other mamas who need postpartum support.

Dr. Elana Roumell ( @drelanaroumell ) is a Pediatric Naturopathic Doctor on a mission to teach moms how to safely be a “Doctor Mom!” She loves to teach moms how to transform their fear, panic, and overwhelm when their child gets sick into feeling calm, competent, confident, and well-equipped with the right tools to prevent illness and treat it wisely! In this episode, you are going to learn about what to stock up on at home to reduce your child's chances of getting sick, but also when they do get sick (because they will) how to shorten the duration of their colds and how to stay calm and confident as a mom! We also talk about Elana's cross-country trip across the USA with her family and how they found a new place to live, her empowering home birth, and all the best homeopathic remedies to have on hand at home. I am so excited for you to listen to this incredible episode with Dr. Mom.
