Postpartum recovery is about more than just healing—it’s about taking care of yourself so you can show up fully for your baby and family.

Here are some lesser-known ways to prioritize your well-being in the newborn phase:

• Pelvic floor therapy: Rebuild strength and prevent issues like incontinence or pain down the road. This isn’t just for now, it’s for your long-term health.

• Nourishing your body: Incorporate nutrient-dense foods like bone broth, leafy greens, and iron-rich meals to replenish energy and support healing.

• Postpartum massage: Help release tension, reduce swelling, and improve circulation as your body recovers.

• Restorative breathing exercises: Reconnect with your core and reduce stress through mindful, deep breathing.

• Uninterrupted sleep (yes, for you!) Work with your partner or support team to take night shifts so you can rest.

• Journaling: Write down your thoughts and emotions to help process the whirlwind of the postpartum experience.

• Rebuilding emotional connection: Even just a few minutes of quality time with your partner can help maintain and strengthen your bond.

• Leaning into community support: Whether it’s a moms’ group, family, or friends—don’t be afraid to ask for help or share your experience.

• Mental health check-ins: Your mental well-being is just as important as your physical recovery. Reach out if you need extra support.

• Learning to say no: Delegate tasks and let go of things that aren’t essential. Your rest and healing come first.
