What awaits us after birth? A holistic guide to the postpartum period and the entire first year of life with a baby.

A book published by Natuli – children are important

Here is the long-awaited holistic guide to the postpartum period. With tenderness and empathy, the author guides readers through a series of issues related to this breakthrough moment. From her perspective, the postpartum period is much more than just the reversal of physical changes after a recent pregnancy. She takes into account the full range of emotions that accompany a young mother, defines the role of co-parent, looks at sexuality and suggests how to build a village of support. She provides knowledge about care and nutrition, deals with stereotypes that cast a shadow on motherhood and in this way supports the mother's well-being holistically.

The postpartum period is a great transformation in the life of a young mother – identity and emotions – that creates the foundations for the relationship with the child. The author writes with great empathy and expertise about the changing body and its physiology and the emotions that accompany this process. She deals with nutrition, looks at sexuality and the return to fertility, discusses physiological difficulties. She devotes a lot of space to the co-parent, as well as the family and loved ones, helping them find their way in a new family situation. She suggests how to cope in the later months and how to prepare for a return to the job market. She deals with myths about motherhood, and all this to support a woman in caring for her well-being. In this way – full of warmth and care – she guides through the postpartum period, which becomes not only a time for survival, but a breakthrough moment in the life of the family and an important complement to the perinatal triad. By bringing it out of the shadows, she allows us to appreciate its exceptionally bonding power.

The latest publication is a must-read for people who are expecting a child for the first or second time or are confronted with their own postpartum experiences.
