Postpartum recovery involves more than just managing physical symptoms. Taking care of yourself during this time is crucial.

  1. Accept help when it's offered:
    • Don't be ashamed to ask for help when needed.
    • Be open to accepting help from unexpected sources.
    • Challenge the mindset of doing it all alone and set a new norm of accepting help.
  2. Implement the 5/5/5/5 rule:
    • Give your body the attention it needs after childbirth.
    • The rule includes spending 5 days in bed, 5 days on the bed, and 5 days around the bed.
    • Focus on rest, skin-to-skin bonding, breastfeeding, and healing.
  3. Talk to other moms:
    • Seek advice and support from experienced mothers.
    • Join mom groups or online communities to connect with a broader network.
    • Find a safe space where you can ask questions without fear of judgment or shaming.
  4. Prepare your spouse:
    • Communicate your thoughts, feelings, and needs to your partner.
    • Consider adjusting roles based on what feels natural for both of you.
  5. Rest:
    • Prioritize sleep and rest deep into the postpartum period.
    • Find moments to rest and relax throughout the day.
    • Discover what activities make you feel rejuvenated and decrease stress.
  6. Make a portable postpartum recovery kit:
    • Organize postpartum essentials in a portable caddy.
    • Keep everything easily accessible to make your recovery more convenient.
  7. Get outside:
    • Spend time outside with your baby, even if it's in your backyard or front porch.
    • Fresh air and sunlight can boost your mood and regulate sleep patterns.
    • Avoid seclusion and the feeling of being trapped indoors for too long.
  8. Don't get lost in opinions. Get informed, and make your own:
    • Recognize that there are diverse opinions on parenting topics.
    • Trust your instincts and make decisions that feel right for your family.
    • Find a middle ground that aligns with your values and circumstances.
  9. Be gentle with yourself:
    • Understand that hormonal changes and adjusting to postpartum life can be challenging.
    • Practice self-compassion and patience.
    • Take care of your physical and mental well-being as you heal and adapt.
  10. "Take Ten":
    • Take short breaks for yourself to relax and recharge.
    • Choose activities that can't be done while holding or nursing the baby.
    • Encourage your partner to handle baby care during these breaks.
    • Allow yourself time to focus on your own needs and rejuvenate.
