Self-Care for New Moms

Thriving Through Your Postpartum Year

Buchbeschreibung

Explore postpartum self-care strategies for eating, body image, emotions, nursing and milk production, sex, and so much more!

The role of motherhood is one where women are continuously asked to focus on the needs of everyone else but themselves. This is a significant issue in the arena of self-care, where we often ignore our own hunger, energy levels, and emotions in the pursuit of taking care of others.

Written from the perspectives of both therapist and busy mom, Self-Care for New Moms features several eye-opening exercises, interviews from a village of experts (who also happen to be moms), and helpful interventions to help you get through the chronic depletion common to the postpartum year.

Self-care strategies include:

Exercise and yoga

Pelvic floor recovery work

Psychotherapy

Self-compassion techniques

Complementary and alternative methods (massage, chiropractic, or acupuncture)

Simple recipes

Methods for reconnecting with your partner

And so much more!

The practical exercises and comforting techniques in this book will help you manage one of motherhood’s biggest challenges: self-care. Self-Care for New Moms is written empathetically by Corinne Crossley, and read with care by Erika Schindele. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
