The postpartum period, also known as the fourth trimester, is about healing and adjusting to life with your baby.
Physical Recovery:
• Rest as much as possible to allow your body to heal.
• Stay hydrated and eat nutrient-rich foods.
Emotional Well-being:
• Baby blues are common, but watch for signs of postpartum depression, such as prolonged sadness or lack of interest in daily activities.
Bonding with Baby:
• Skin-to-skin contact strengthens your connection.
• Learn to recognize your baby’s cues for feeding and comfort.
Give yourself grace as you navigate this transition—every parent’s journey is unique.
