Self-Care Tips for Postpartum Healing

- Rest and Nourishment

Prioritize rest whenever possible and fuel your body with nutrient-dense foods that support recovery and energy.

- Hydration

Staying hydrated helps with milk production and overall healing. Aim for plenty of water each day.

- Gentle Movement

When cleared by your healthcare provider, light activities like walking or gentle stretching can improve circulation and promote healing.

- Perineal Care

Use warm water or a peri bottle to cleanse the perineal area and consider sitz baths for comfort and healing.

- Support for Breastfeeding

Seek help from a lactation consultant or support group if you're struggling with feeding.

- Mental Health Care

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you're feeling overwhelmed or experiencing postpartum depression. Emotional health is as important as physical recovery.

Remember, every postpartum journey is unique. Give yourself grace, seek support when needed, and listen to your body as you heal.
