Your guide to postpartum

NZ$15.00

This booklet is your comprehensive guide to postnatal care. My goal is to empower mamas on their journey by providing essential information, because I truly believe that being informed is key. Countless hours have gone into creating this resource, ensuring that all the evidence is current and reliable.

While this booklet serves as a valuable guide, it’s important to also consult with your midwife or obstetrician if any concerns arise.

  • Formula feeding, postnatal bleeding, and newborn weight gain & loss

  • Lactation support, mastitis, and nipple damage

  • Common newborn issues, mood changes, and safe sleep

  • Jaundice, screening tests, physiotherapy, exercise, contraception, and intimacy

And so much more!

I hope this booklet becomes a trusted companion as you navigate this incredible journey.
