So you had some tearing during birth… It happens. But how does this impact our journey with intimacy? How can we manage expectations for sex from our partners, and what are some of the safety concerns we need to consider before returning to penetration.

Sweet tiny onesies make your mama heart flutter, so why ditch the clothes?

For these three reasons:
Bonding, Boundaries and Back to Basics. 

With both my babies I opted for an extended postpartum time of wearing nothing but housecoats and diapers.  In this episode I talk about my reasons why, and how a traditional 40 day postpartum period is supported by staying naked with your baby.

I’ve been asked so many times… How many times a night is he getting up? Are you getting any sleep? How often are you waking out? Are you sleeping for more than an hour at a time? To which I respond… I don’t know. I suppose I could count dirty diapers. I suppose I could find a clock and put it in my room and look at it anxiously every time my baby wakes up. He only slept for 20 minutes. He only slept for half an hour. He only slept for three hours. He only slept for five hours. But why bring myself into anxiety and anxiousness over how much sleep I have or haven’t gotten. I could do these things. But why?

Breastfeeding is actually less work than bottle feeding. It’s for the lazy mom and it’s okay to be a lazy mom. Lazy has a really bad connotation but we could also use the words effective mom, natural mom, energy wise mom. You know, the the traditional mom, the physiological mom. Breasts are incredible. That they filter our own nutrition for creating optimal baby food is extra incredible. So I just want to sort of lay this down… it’s okay to take the easy route.
