A must-have book when preparing for what lies after birth.
As modern mothers are pushed to prematurely "bounce back" after delivering their babies, and are often left alone to face the physical and emotional challenges of this new stage of their lives, the first forty days provide a lifeline - a source of connection, nourishment, and guidance.
The book includes 60 simple recipes for healing soups; replenishing meals and snacks; and calming 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 honoring the significance of pregnancy and birth.
The First Forty Days, fully illustrated to feel both inspiring and soothing, is a practical guide and inspirational read for all new mothers and mothers-to-be.

from 17 reviewsOne of the cleanest/shortest list of ingredients I've seen on the market. This and Wotnot are great. Will definitely be buying again when run out.
Pleasant smell, nourishes my skin really nicely. Wish I purchased earlier whilst still pregnant, but oh well, never too late to get started I guess. Will buy again when I run out.
Beautifully packaged & feels so nourishing to drink
Silverettes are nipple saviours! Would do postpartum without them.
My daughter loved the gift card! It was perfect for me because I am in the United States and she lives in Australia.
This is my 2nd time buying these cookies. They’re delicious and feel healthier than what I’m able to make at home. Great for a daytime snack or very early in morning to help with staying awake while breastfeeding. Will definitely buy again!!
Delicious and super easy way to start the morning. Have been using this as a morning coffee replacement and am happy with the results. Will but again and now want to try the other options in this range.
I wore these from the very start of my bf journey, and though its a bit of a rough journey for nipples, mine never got red / cracked / bleeding and I praise these little gems for that!
I've been insatiably ravenous while breastfeeding and these biccies are the perfect one handed treat!
My wonderful Radiant Birth book came beautifully packaged with thoughtful personalised note & crystal. A wonderful experience with WOOM.
A book that everyone needs before they give birth. Do yourself a favour, it read and savour it. It could change your entire postpartum period.
Absolute life changer I have been using foraged for 2 months now and it increases my energy, mood and makes me feel all round better. I honestly couldn't live without it again
Such a beautiful nourishing product, perfect for any stage of motherhood. It has changed my life since taking it, so much energy and clarity of mind.
MAGIC!
Bought one as a gift and one for me - this product is stunning. Smells amazing, feels so lovely on the skin and the little flowers in the bottle make it feel like a real treat!
Honestly, I wish I did my research before because Foraged has been incredible to my body. The first time having it in my smoothie I went without a coffee for days. Eventually when I had coffee it wasn’t because my body craved it but just a social habit. My energy levels, mood, everything elevated and I’m feeling great. I will forever rave about this product. Give it a go mama!
