About this Event
Learn what to expect in the first days and weeks after birth — and how to nurture healing, connection, and confidence as a new family.
The first 40 days after birth are a vital time of physical recovery, emotional adjustment, and bonding. Yet this phase is often overlooked in birth preparation. In this evidence-based class, we’ll explore what truly happens in the body and home after baby arrives, and how to prepare with intention.
You’ll learn:
🕊 Caring for yourself – postpartum bleeding (lochia), hormones, swelling, nutrition, hydration, and simple comfort measures
🍼 Caring for your baby – soothing, safe sleep, feeding basics, and building confidence in newborn care
💛 Caring for your relationship – communication, teamwork, and sharing responsibilities in early parenthood
🌸 Creating a support plan – how to organize rest, meals, visitors, and emotional care during the fourth trimester
We’ll also touch on the 5-5-5 rule for postpartum rest, gentle movement and recovery tips, and practical tools to make the early weeks smoother — like peri care, comfortable clothing, and nourishing foods.
✨ You’ll walk away with:
Custom plans and tools to help your family feel prepared, supported, and confident as you welcome your baby home.
This class blends modern, evidence-based education with the timeless wisdom of traditional postpartum care — recognizing the importance of slowing down, receiving help, and caring for the whole family unit.
Ideal for: Expecting parents, partners, and anyone preparing to welcome a newborn.
