Postpartum Matters

Postpartum care begins at birth and lasts forever. The tender days and weeks following birth are tender are often overlooked as families and providers focus on safe birth outcomes and the resiliency required to return to work and household duties.

Mothers teach us that postpartum care matters, and that this care needs to extend beyond obsetric care. Quality, well-rounded postpartum care supports the whole family - beginning with the mother & baby's holistic wellness.
