Deep in The Void: Months 5-7 Post Birth

Pregnancy, birth, and newborns are often the most popular topics in new motherhood discussion, but today we're going to navigate a less-often mentioned timeframe: five to seven months after birth. 

This timeframe presents its own set of challenges, but we're not afraid to face them head on and discuss ways to overcome them and offer support to new moms that continues well past birth!

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

1. settling into a whole new identity
2. the challenge of expecting a routine when it doesn't exist
3. energy/connections shifting
4. changes in milk supply 
5. the importance of reaching out for support
6. scheduling connection time with whoever supports you
7. integrating more touch from others than the baby in your life (to sooth your nervous system) - hugs, massages, snuggles, etc.
