121. How Men Can Support Postpartum Healing: Nourishment, Rest, and the Fourth Trimester with Eric Stein

from The Well Nourished Mama · host Brooke Harmer

The postpartum period isn’t just about the mother—it’s a critical window where partner support can make or break recovery. In this episode, I’m joined by Eric Stein to talk about the essential role men play after birth, why so many partners want to help but don’t know how, and how others underestimate their responsibility altogether. We unpack how intentional nourishment, rest, and a strong support system can radically change the postpartum experience. This conversation is a must-listen for any family wanting a calmer, more supported fourth trimester.
