Hello Mamas!!

As we step into March, let's take a moment to celebrate the incredible journey of postpartum. This phase of life is filled with unique challenges and joys, and it's important to slow down to acknowledge and honor each step along the way.

Remember, amidst the sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, you're nurturing and witnessing the miraculous growth of your little one. It's so easy to just power through from one task to another, but I'm here to remind you to take inventory and stop to cherish those quiet moments of bonding, cuddles, and gentle whispers - they are the threads weaving the beautiful tapestry of your family's story.

Here's a gentle tip for navigating the postpartum period with grace and resilience: prioritize self-care. This has been quite the buzz word lately, which is probably getting on your nerves like it is for me. But it's SOOOO important! It really doesn't have to be something big (but it can be if you want it to be!), but taking some time to figure out what will nourish yourself can make a huge difference in staying present and steady on this marathon of the first year. Whether it's stealing a few moments for a warm cup of tea, calling a friend, or simply stepping outside for some deep breaths in the fresh air (bonus points for wiggling your toes in the grass!), remember to nurture yourself along with your baby. Your well-being is essential for the well-being of your family. It's like they say before you take off on a flight, "put your mask on first before helping others". You can't take care of your family well, without first taking care of yourself!

And don't hesitate to lean on your support network. Whether it's reaching out to friends, family, or seeking guidance from professionals like your doula, you're not alone on this journey. Here's a little something that can hopefully help you in your beautiful, yet challenging current or upcoming postpartum stage.
