It’s common for expecting parents to prepare for pregnancy and childbirth, but what happens after the baby is born? The postpartum period, traditionally called “lying-in,” is a time to bond with your newborn and establish a connection to build upon for a lifetime. It’s also a time to rest and let your body heal.

In today’s episode, we’ve partnered with our friends at Earth Mama, and we’re discussing how to create a plan for lying-in and tips on how to make the most out of your postpartum period.

Earth Mama Organics is a company we know and recommend to all expecting and new families. They harness nature’s herbal remedies to effectively support the common indignities of the entire journey of pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and baby care.

By combining generations of women’s wisdom with traditional plant medicine, Earth Mama has certified organic herbal teas, soaps, balms, lotions, soothings sprays, and the first Non-GMO Project Verified nipple butter, including a vegan nipple butter!

Hospitals have even chosen their products for the most fragile NICU babies. We love that. They have also safely nurtured women and their babies and families for over a decade. We are thrilled to discuss this important topic that we feel more families need to prepare for.
