Postpartum Non-negotiables!

Postpartum is such a special time and if it is done right then you are setting yourself and your family up for success!

My first postpartum experience I didn’t have this non-negotiables and I definitely felt the difference from my second where I did!

Things are some things I’ve learned and things I won’t budge on during my postpartums going forward!

STAYING IN BED FOR AT LEAST 5 DAYS-

This is so important for healing, bonding, rest, and nourishment. I didn’t do this with my first baby, I came out and sat on the couch and went to appointments and on walks and I wasn’t as restful as I should have been! With my 2nd I was in bed for about 2 weeks except to walk to the bathroom and then about 3 more weeks where I stayed on the bed except to go out to the living room for about 30 minutes per day.

NO VISITORS FOR AT LEAST 6 WEEKS-

Postpartum is such a private time as well and a time where you are really needing to sleep or be establishing your milk supply by nursing often. This is hard to do with any visitors! I only have my husband and my other kids around for at least 6 weeks after baby is born!
