Nourished and Nurturing: Postpartum Moms and Feeding Babies Michelle Tagge

This is the finale of our mini series with Anne Marie on her pregnancy and birth with her daughter. We talk about how she processed her birth experience knowing that she wanted an unmedicated birth, and how limiting what she read to natural births at a farm made it harder to accept her circumstances.

Michelle talks to Kim Perez about weight loss in the postpartum. We talk about both losing too much weight and having trouble losing weight after having a baby. Kim goes deep into what is happen hormonally immediately after having a baby as well as some of the changes that happen around the time baby starts solids if mom is breastfeeding. She talks about what is considered normal and what you can expect, and also when you might have something off in your hormone health. Part of what we want to communicate in this episode is that it can be totally healthy for your body to hold on to weight during breastfeeding and postpartum healing.

This week Michelle talks to Megan Garcia, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and expert in baby nutrition. In this episode we talked about placenta consumption postpartum. She speaks to the properties of the placenta from a TCM perspective, and expresses concerns with how the hormones in the placenta can interfere with hormones needed for breastfeeding. I share about my positive experience consuming my placenta, and I left this conversation understanding that a lot better. This episode does not give a clear one-size-fits-all answer, but it provides a lot of information if this is something you are considering.
