Leave the men at home.
I remember when I birthed my first baby. My own mother hadn’t before seen my breasts yet all of a sudden I was learning to breastfeed in front of everyone! If I had my time over I would do it so differently, including asking our male friends to stay home.
Can we have our postpartum bubble and eat it too?
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need signs on the front door requesting short visits, or meal train schedules or maybe even Doulas! In a perfect world the knowledge about postpartum care would be innate.
