Nourishment
According to Ayurveda, the first 10 days post birth is essential in restoring and strengthening the digestive fire, and supporting the physical, hormonal, mental and emotional changes, post birth, through mineral rich, easy to digest warming foods.
Meals that are unctuous, soft, soupy, hydrating and warm, and incorporating specific spices, good fats, carbohydrates and proteins benefit tissue repair, digestive elimination, and overall wellbeing. According to ayurveda it is important to get the digestive fires burning again so that the food is easy to absorb which serves mother and baby preventing gas and bloating for both.
Foods that are easy to digest aids conservation of your precious energy, to meet the demands of taking care and feeding a newborn whilst healing and recovering from the immense physical, hormonal, mental and emotional demands of your pregnancy, labour, and birth as well as grounding and supporting this sacred window of time of emerging from womb to world.

Active Rest
Rest can be experienced in a few ways, apart from sleeping and napping when you can. Rest can be experienced through listening to a guided relaxation, or a breathing practice, self-massage, a foot bath or enjoying a cup of tea staring out the window can also feel supportive at this time, especially if you manage to have a few moments to yourself.
