Today Emily Vallejo, an Ayurvedic practitioner, provides an explanation of Ayurvedic principles and how they can be applied during the postpartum period for maternal well-being. The topics covered include the importance of rest, bonding with the baby, the significance of the first 42 days postpartum, and easy-to-digest nutrient-dense foods to aid recovery. Emily also outlines her favorite offerings such as different types of bodywork and her provision of teaching infant massage, highlighting its benefit in fostering a bond between the baby and their parents. The potential benefits of these practices were discussed within the framework of current cultural trends around 'bouncing back' after birth.
