The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother
The First Forty Days is a warm companion for new mothers and mothers-to-be, providing nourishment, connection, and guidance during the earliest weeks of motherhood. Inspired by the traditional practice of zuo yuezi, a set period of "confinement" this book offers practical guidance for rest, recovery, healing and bonding with your newborn.
The book includes 60 simple recipes for healing soups, nourishing meals, and lactation-boosting teas, all formulated to support the unique needs of the new mother. In addition to the recipes, this warm and encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help during the postpartum period, navigating relationship challenges, and honouring the significance of pregnancy and birth.
