TOP TIPS FOR
POSTPARTUM
PARENTS
"If I had to give one word, speaking
not only as an OB/GYN but a parent
to two daughters, it's flexibility. We
have a lot of expectations, a lot of
people giving advice… and they
don't always apply."
— RAYMOND
BETCHER
"Trust your instincts. Trust
yourself. Especially today with
social media, they get so much
information from so many places.
It makes people doubt themselves.
So often, their first instincts on
how to take care of their baby
was the right one. Talk to your
pediatrician, talk to everyone, but
when you're at home, do what
works for you."
— ERIN SWART
"You need to give yourself time
and not rush into anything. You're
not just rebuilding a body that has
changed. You're sleeping less. If
you're breastfeeding, you're using an
enormous amount of calories. Take
it slow."
— ERIN RAINE
"Ask for help! It's okay to need help.
It's okay to use all of your resources.
Don't try to be Supermom or
Superdad."
— KEYONA MCCARTHY
