| Summary |
Honest, compassionate advice for post-partum new moms. Having a baby is supposed to be the happiest time of a woman's life, but for some it isn't. And for many, it is the most challenging. As they learn to care for their newborns, many new mothers often face physical challenges with breastfeeding, sleep, and nutrition, and struggle with feelings of isolation, sadness, and guilt. Dr. Sriraman shares practical professional advice along with her own personal experiences and those of other mothers to help 4th trimester moms know they are not alone. From pelvic floor issues to postpartum depression, no topic is taboo. Return to You will help new moms restore themselves physically and encourage them to ask for help and give themselves the time they need to rest, recover, and heal emotionally. |
