Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... podcast, season 1, episode 23 with my incredible guest - Alice AKA The Suffolk Doula. We’re talking about the incredible healing and nourishing properties of food in the postpartum period and where to get it. We discuss what you should be eating immediately after giving birth to ease the transition into motherhood and encourage rest, replenishment and recovery whilst ignoring societies fixation with bounce-back culture (and so much more).
