You were not meant to do this alone & deserve support.
We have physiological requirements in order to move toward health & wellness in postpartum. Hundreds of cultures recognize & honor this in the postpartum time by emphasizing the need for a mother to be supported by her community giving her space to rest, while deeply nourishing her on a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual level. Although these physiological needs have been the same for thousands of years, the environment & lifestyles of humanity has drastically changed & is at extreme odds with a mother’s (and baby’s) physiological needs, leading to depletion, mood disorders, chronic fatigue, stress, overwhelm, etc.
