Postpartum care

Our final session: session six! Your body will go through significant changes after birth, and taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for your baby. This section includes:

  • Mental health: The baby blues, postpartum depression, and when to seek support.

  • Strategies for balancing rest and recovery with newborn care, and how to set realistic expectations.
