Postpartum Recovery Tips: For Your Body and Mind

Your body has just done one of the most remarkable things it will ever do: grow another human being! After 9 months of waiting, you were probably excited to finally be home with your new baby. While much of your focus and energy during these early weeks and months are on your baby, remember that you also need to take care of yourself, too. Generally, most birth givers are cleared for sex and exercises by their doctor or midwife at the 6-week postpartum check-up appointment. Yet, a body that grows another human for 9 months can take much longer to heal and is in many ways forever changed not just physically but emotionally too.

Key Nutrients you need for Fertility and Pregnancy

It is quite well known that nutrition in pregnancy plays an important role for a baby’s development inside and outside of the womb. But did you know that there is increasing evidence that shows that nutrition before pregnancy, even up to 3 years before conception, could have an impact on the future development of your child?

Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Children

We see a lot of babies and children here at Rooted Family Wellness Centre for a variety of reasons.

Cranial techniques are safe, gentle and are very effective when treating young children and newborn infants.

What you should know about Vitamin D in pregnancy

Prenatal multivitamins commonly contain between 400 – 1,000 IU of vitamin D, however many individuals may need more, especially through the fall and winter months. Individualized dosages are best determined through testing since genetics, nutrition and sun exposure all influence an individual’s vitamin D requirements.

Breastfeeding is a continuous learning curve that you and your baby must navigate as you both learn to nurse. It can be a wholesome experience that solidifies your bond, and further connects you to your baby in the postpartum period. However, breastfeeding takes a lot of skill and patience from both the parent and the baby as you both figure out what works best for you. Often it is normal to feel like you are not on the same page as your baby, and struggle with finding that perfect balance between what works for you both.That is where a Lactation Consultant steps in.
