As a holistic nutrition consultant, I’ve worked with several prenatal and postpartum mamas throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. In working with these mamas, I consistently recommend these six postpartum essentials to assist in their journey to true healing!

This is one of the most common questions that I get from clients and followers. And one that I’ve actually been quite interested in myself. I’m in my second postpartum currently and I’m interested to see when my first period shows up this time. With my first, I didn’t get my period back until almost 15 months postpartum. I pumped and nursed throughout my first postpartum period and co-slept through 15 months.

The choices we make for our children are very impactful since babies’ neurological development the first few years can is impacted heavily by the chemical exposure around them. They breathe more air per pound than adults, and they have thinner blood-brain barriers, which allows their developing brains to be exposed to more chemicals. Each time we pick an everyday product that’s safer than another, we are reducing our baby’s overall exposures to toxic chemicals that can undermine their health in the short and long term.
