The importance of good postnatal care and recovery -An interview with Sophie Messager

Sophie Messager joins us in the Cauldron to talk about her new book Why Postnatal Recovery MattersWe talk all things becoming a mother, including how a lovely pigs trotter soup or lotus birth is the perfect way to avoid too many visitors. We explore the raw, real and forgotten side of the 4th trimester and the misconception that mothering is 'just doing nothing' and the mother guilt and expectations put upon women. Sophie discusses the best ways to support women as they navigate the early days of mothering. And lastly, we discuss the beautiful 'closing the bones' ceremony', which aims to bring the new mother back to herself energetically, spiritually and physically. This episode is for new parents and anyone who cares for new parents in the postnatal period. LINKSBook:  https://sophiemessager.com/why-postnatal-recovery-matters-book/Courses and more: https://sophiemessager.com/mums-and-mums-to-be/Instagram: @sophie_messagerHead over to The Latch Revolution Podcast to continue the conversations with Katie James and Johanna Sargeant, IBCLCs Click here if you would like to find out more about Decoding The Suck  and advance your clinical skills in lactation and suck assessment.Support the showResources & SupportGet Katie’s Milk Supply Confidence Kit — a free resource to help pregnant women, new parents and professionals feel calm, informed, and confident about breastfeeding.👉 Download here⭐Leave a ReviewEnjoying the podcast?
