It’s common for expecting parents to prepare for pregnancy and childbirth, but what happens after the baby is born? The postpartum period, traditionally referred to as “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.

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 company that 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!

Their products have even been chosen by hospitals for the most fragile NICU babies. We absolutely love that. They also have been safely nurturing women and their babies and families for over a decade. These reasons are why we are thrilled to talk about this important topic that we feel more families need to prepare for.
