Community Postpartum Traditions

Reclaim Black & BIPOC postpartum wisdom—rest, nourishment, and ritual—so new parents feel held, not hurried. We pair gentle herbal know-how with practical supports for the first 6 weeks that everyone should know.

You’ll learn:

• Postpartum physiology basics and why deep      rest matters (0–6 weeks).
• Nourishment & warming foods (easy      broths/teas; meal-train tips).
• Herbal safety 101—when herbs help, cautions with      meds & lactation.
• Visitor boundaries & roles for partners, aunties, and friends.
• Baby blues vs. PMADs (perinatal mood/anxiety) and warm handoffs.
• Red flags & urgent care—what to watch and how to act fast.

You’ll leave with:

• 7-day postpartum care menu (rest, fluids, warming foods, gentle movement).
• Herbal infusion & oil recipes + a pocket safety/contraindication      card.
• Visitor/boundary plan template (who, when, how long, what to bring/do).
• Support-roles map for partners & kin (rides, meals, overnights, texts).
• Red-flags checklist + clinic/911 decision guide.
• Resource mini directory (lactation, hotlines, community clinics).
