59m · Nourished and Nurturing: Postpartum Moms and Feeding Babies · 22 Dec 03:51

This week Michelle talks to Lindsay Mumma, Chiropractor and prenatal and postpartum fitness educator. She has an incredible wealth of knowledge on recovery after having a baby and how rest and slow rehabilitation set you up for a better recovery. We talk about what the early days postpartum should look like - what does the 2 weeks in bed and 2 weeks near the bed rule really mean. And we talk about what to look for when you are ready to start moving, what movements work the best and how you can use this time of healing in a profound way to really connect with what your body needs. We also talk about swimming during pregnancy and the benefits of chiropractic care during the pregnancy and postpartum periods.

This week Michelle talks to Megan Garcia, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and expert in baby nutrition. In this episode we talked about placenta consumption postpartum. She speaks to the properties of the placenta from a TCM perspective, and expresses concerns with how the hormones in the placenta can interfere with hormones needed for breastfeeding. I share about my positive experience consuming my placenta, and I left this conversation understanding that a lot better. This episode does not give a clear one-size-fits-all answer, but it provides a lot of information if this is something you are considering.
