Why we should stop telling new mums to find their village… and what to do instead
So have you been told that you need to find your village?
Was that the advice given to you when you had a new babe in arms?
Because I was told it, and I knew it was important. But it also felt so hard to do.
So I think that we need to stop giving this advice.
This month’s blog explores why during late pregnancy and after birth our bodies just aren’t primed to be reaching out and finding these connections. It’s too late!!
But we do need a network of support and this video gives some ideas of what we can do instead to support newborn mothers through this significant transition.
