The Postpartum Period

Have you found yourself wondering, "What do I actually need during the postpartum period to support myself and my baby?"

Here at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, we love supporting mothers during this new season of life. While the postpartum period is technically forever-- we recommend intentionally supporting new parents through the first year of the newborn's life.

A few of our favorites are:

1. Incorporating skin-to-skin and baby-wearing daily.

2. Chiropractic care is not only for supporting the mom's nervous system but for the baby as well. A regulated nervous system for both mom and baby is important for bonding and healing.

3. Nourishing the "womb space" with warm foods such as bone broth, herbal teas, and soups is vital for the first few months.

A favorite book to check out is "The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother."

4. Finding a support team to help you rehab and rebuild physically and emotionally. Our local favorites are:

5. Connection to self and to others is important for parenthood. Taking time to see friends and family, for self-care including meditation, prayer, breathwork, and intentional movement helps new parents reground and recenter during this new season.

Need support during the postpartum period? We would love to be a part of your postpartum journey!
