As Tahlia underwent her first postpartum journey she thought she was well equipped, however the journey itself was more than she was prepared for, which she put down to a severe lack of tangible resources available in western society as a whole.
Having a background in Clinical Nutrition and an abundant professional resource network available to her here in the Northern Rivers, it’s upsetting to think what lesser prepared new mothers may experience.
In her personal and professional view, the postpartum landscape suffers from a lack of education, lack of support and pressure from society for new mothers to do more and be more, rather than just be, rest and be supported. This needs to change.
Enlisting the help of Caitlin, our authors set out to create so much more than a food bible for new mothers!
This book provides very really realistic information about how postpartum may look. It talks about taboo topics like what changes may occur with your vulva and vagina. It talks about seeking support. It talks about preparing your partner and children for the new baby and about questions that may be a good idea to explore with them before this period. And finally, it provides easy recipes for nourishment that can be preprepared and offered through a meal train and will nourish your whole family through this beautiful, yet dynamic period.
