3 postpartum planning tips🫶🩷

1. Find a lactation professional BEFORE baby arrives. Have a consult call, ask questions, have a plan in place. And have them on speed dial! Even if breastfeeding ends up going amazingly well, it’s best to have someone in your corner if any challenge arises. Breastfeeding is NOT easy and it is so important to have support during those early weeks of learning.

2. Prep freezer meals! You will be so glad you did. Ask your mom, friend, sister to spend a weekend with you cooking up meals that will be ready for you when baby comes. Think nourishing, warm, healing, whole foods.

3. Plan ahead for help! You WILL need it. Talk with your partner about what you want your postpartum healing to look like. Who do you want in your space? Who will be there to care for you and hold space for you and be with you in those vulnerable postpartum days? Plan for this. Take it seriously🤍

Planning for your postpartum can make such a difference in your healing. I hope you consider it✨
