Product Information
The first 40 days after the birth of a child offer an essential and fleeting period of rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on author Heng Ou's own postpartum experience with zuo yuezi , a set period of "confinement," in which a woman remains at home focusing on healing and bonding with her baby, The First Forty Days revives the lost art of caring for the mother after birth. As modern mothers are pushed to prematurely "bounce back" after deliver-ing 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 post-partum 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--the perfect ally during the first weeks with a new baby.Product Identifiers

Please read this for the woman in your life
I wish everyone connected to a potential or expectant mother or mother-again would read this. Women should be well taken care of in the fourth trimester; it's her job to take care of a new baby while recovering from an amazing accomplishment and transformation in her body. Birth and fertility at other times and places in the world were/are considered practically sacred and this is no time to applaud a woman for "bouncing back", but rather to honor and support this time of profound bonding and replenishment for mother and baby. This book lends the perspective of a modern woman seeking to bring together the world's post partum wisdom and the lives of modern women in the US. I am especially excited to employ the recipes and help my friends and myself rest after the births of our babies.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
