Yoga can help strengthen core muscles, restore pelvic floor muscles, and offer relief from common postpartum issues such as back pain, neck stiffness, and even insomnia by calming the nervous system. Yoga can also become a mental refuge by reducing stress and anxiety levels through breathwork, positive affirmations, and body awareness.
The first three years are pivotal in shaping your child’s gut health, as it takes that time to fully mature. That’s why opting for whole, unprocessed foods for your infant (once solids are introduced) is vital beyond breastfeeding. So, faced with my baby eyeing my chocolate shake, I whipped up a special treat – a Chocolate “Baby Shake.”
It was such a relief to eat food that actually tasted good and nourished my body. Starting my day with a yummy chocolate shake filled with 30g of protein has significantly improved my mornings. This nutritious shake is so delicious that sometimes I enjoy it twice a day – perfect as an easy dinner option or a lunch treat!
Babies, especially newborns, need plenty of sleep to support their rapid growth and development. Disrupting their sleep with unnecessary changes can lead to a fussier baby during the day, which is something no parent wants. Balancing this with the necessity of changing a soiled diaper is where things get tricky.
