“Somehow, a pervasive idea has spread in modern times that the mom who is out and about soonest with her baby is somehow the strongest, like an episode of Survivor. But that's all upside down—in a healthy postpartum period, it's she who stays still that wins the prize.”


- Heng Ou,
The First Forty Days

The Fourth Trimester

The postpartum time is often referred to as your fourth trimester. It is such a sweet time of bonding between you and your baby, and also a crucial time for healing. Throughout many ancient cultures, mothers who just gave birth were especially honored and had a specific healing regimen for the first forty days of postpartum. It is in this time that key foundations to the development and sense of belonging are established for your baby, and it’s a vital time of bonding between the both of you. It is often said that these first few days will affect the next many years for the both of you.

All mothers and babies deserve to be held like we have been since the beginning, and it would be my honor to help create and protect this sweet cocooning time for you and your family.
