Description

Essential advice for adjusting to challenges facing women during the first year after giving birth


• Includes herbal tips, recipes, and gentle yoga exercises


• Addresses a new mother’s need to replenish her body, mind, and spirit so that she can nurture her child


Midwife, herbalist, and mother of four, Aviva Jill Romm shares her insights into how to make the transition to motherhood a smooth and happy one. She provides essential advice for preparing for the postpartum period before the baby arrives, coping during the first few days after the birth, establishing a successful breast-feeding relationship, getting enough rest, eating well even with a hectic schedule, and finding time to regain strength and tone with gentle yoga exercises. The book provides support both for women who plan to be home full or part time during the first year and for those who must return to their jobs soon after the birth.

"This is a superb and much needed book that should help and support all postpartum mothers."
Suzanne Arms, award winning photojournalist, author of Immaculate Deception II : Myth, Magic and Birth

"Thirty years ago, when I had my babies, we were rediscovering natural birth and breast-feeding. But, we struggled alone during postpartum. If I had been able to read Aviva's book then, I would have cried less. Every new mother should have a copy of this book."
Peggy O'Mara, Editor and Publisher of Mothering magazine

"Destined to have widespread appeal for its compassionate and wise advice. Thank you, Aviva, for so much vital information in one volume."Jeannine Parvati Baker, author of Prenatal Yoga and Natural Childbirth

"Finally, a book that addresses an aspect of birthing that has been forgotten in the western world.  This book should make a valuable contribution not only to women, but to the whole family."Mary Bove, N.D., of the Brattleboro Naturopathic Clinic, Brattleboro, Vermont
