Use our guide to help you plan for the initial weeks post baby. If you have a birth plan, you should definitely have a postpartum plan. Let us help you get started.
Why make a postpartum plan?
The first days and weeks at home with a newborn involve a lot of planning and moving parts. A postpartum plan can help you think through your needs and make sure you have the right support in place. It will also strengthen your self-confidence as a new parent. Our postpartum plan is a guide to help you think through some of the key questions you should ask yourself and your family as you plan for the weeks after birth.
