Natural Support for Mama and Baby in the 4th Trimester

There is no time more important in a woman’s life than right after giving birth to her child.

Yet so few have access to real knowledge of how to heal from the birth, bond with her baby and support a proper diet and lifestyle that sets up both mama and baby for a life of vitality.

The gratitude I have for my teachers passing down such profound holistic knowledge of how to care for myself and my children is indescribable.

It is extremely unfortunate that so many have little access to real HEALTH care.

Luckily, there are resources out there that are becoming more widely accessible that support natural health and healing. Let me just confidently say that this website is designed as one of these gem like resources.

Let’s jump right into some of my biggest tips for new mothers to heal their bodies, bond with their babies, support their babies during sicknesses and colic and stay sane during the formative fourth trimester.

Colic/gassy baby

Taking Beano before eating anything that may cause gas! It really really helps ensure your milk doesn’t pass it to baby.

It’s extremely important to follow the ayurvedic postpartum diet for the mother the first few months after giving birth to prevent gas and colic in baby.

Natural soothing tablets completely safe and SO HELPFUL for when baby is crying with colic and nothing else works. Give baby one or two every 15 min for an hour and witness the magic!

Sick Baby

Tiny Cold Tablets for when baby will inevitably get sick… really help take the pain and fussiness away.

Breast Feeding

Disposable breast pads

This brand worked the best for me out of all the ones I’ve tried over the 8 years of breastfeeding and birthing 4 babies. The reuseable ones just didn’t hold the amount of milk I needed.

Baby Wearing

Moby Wrap It is vital to continue to keep baby close to the body for the first 40 days after birth. Having baby tightly secured in a newborn wrap is very very helpful until they grow big enough to safely fit in a carrier.

My favorite is the Ergo 360. Here in Florida where it gets HOT in the summer, their cotton choice is necessary to avoid a sweaty sticky baby. It keeps us cool and comfortable. My children lived in theirs. After three kiddos, I needed to get a new one for my fourth because they were in it so much they wore it out!

Baby massage

Massage baby with a warm grounding oil.

This supports the baby’s transition from the womb, grounds her, elongates and relaxes her little limbs and really keeps her skin nice and smooth! Mama should also receive regular massages with warm Sesame Oil. I like this one from Banyan Botanicals.

PRO TIP: Keep the warmed oil in a thermos. Warm oil massage literally changed my life after each birth

Let the oil seep into baby’s body. Soap/water bath won’t be necessary for the first little while. using a simple warm wet washcloth is good until the unbilical cord stump has fallen off and is healed.

Cord Care

I used this homeopathic colloidal silver gel once it does come of. I use this for all my kids scraps and cuts https://amzn.to/42fQAay

Baby acne

All my baby’s all got baby acne. Fortunately with my first son, I figured out if I used a warm washcloth on his face a couple times a day then applied this absolutely amazing completely natural mineralized solution it went away. With the other three baby’s I knew just what to do and it never got as bad as my first. Miracle 2 Nuetralizer Gel

Cradle Cap

All four of my baby’s also got cradle cap. It is this strange flaky skin on their heads. This homeopathic for cradle cap takes care of it so easily.

If you’re not familiar with homeopathics they are like dream medicines. Extremely affordable with remedies for everything from poison ivy, to gas pain, to ADHD, to nausea, fevers literally almost everything. And they’re $7 a bottle for a bunch of little doses. They are tiny little sweet pellets and the kids love them. Safe for adults and babies.

Homeopathy

You can Google almost any sickness or symptom and out homeopathic remedy next to it and find the medicine for it.

My favorite medicine for gas take it when you first begin to notice symptoms to prevent the gas from entering into your breast milk!

Teething

When baby starts teething these are absolute gold Teething Tablets

Pain Relief

CBD oil Nuume Organics (Use Coupon Code SUCHILIFE For 10%off) Absolutely necessary for after pains. After you’ve birthed your first baby it takes more energy, muscles and time to contract your uterus. Some say these pains are worse then the labor itself. The CBD+CBG oil from Nuume Organics saved me for my last two births. Trust me, you don’t want to skip on this.

Anti Trauma Tincture

Tachyonized Anti Trauma tincture with Calendula, arnica and st johns wort. Be sure to use my discount code PURESUCHILIFE for 15% off
