By Jeffrey Hughes


Post-delivery depression is a common thing that is usually assumed until it affects you or people surrounding you. No amount of prior preparation readies new moms to surprises as well as anxieties of a newborn baby. For some women, it is easy to overcome worries besides doubts brought by motherhood while others find it almost impossible to conquer those emotions. Even though this may be the case, very few of such mothers consider such as post-birth depression. Before visiting specialists, victims of such may undergo postpartum Ayurvedic medicine which considers healing during the first 42 days after delivery. Outlined below are tips recommended by this approach.

Usually, mothers feel empty immediately after birth. This is brought about by numerous reasons such as a very restless infant. For this reason, parents must surround themselves with close family members as well as in-laws. They help with house chores which may be overwhelming after delivery. Similarly, they distract one from psychological sensations of stress as well as sadness.

Secondly, your body needs a lot of energy during breastfeeding. Likewise, many organs are adjusting to the original state. Thus, mothers must ensure what they eat is very healthy. Avoid cold foods as well as smoothies. Similarly, hard foods such as meat ought to be evaded at the beginning since your digestive system is not strong enough. Instead, hot drinks especially bone soup is recommended. Additionally, before and after eating, munch some chafed ginger root with some salt coupled with lime. If this causes your baby stomach pains, it is advisable to stop.

When it comes to proper feeding habit, it is necessary to create a feeding calendar earlier before delivery. Share this with relatives who will be bringing you food in shifts. It is tiresome to cook let alone think of what to be eaten while one is breastfeeding.

Light exercises help moms recover quickly. In the absence of that, regular massages are advisable. Massage may be done with warm oil that soothes and relaxes muscles. Partners or relatives come in handy. In case they are not available or able to do so, one can self-massage.

Abdomens tend to enlarge as well as loosen after delivery. This is because space initially occupied by the womb is left empty after birth. Specialists advise that mothers can speed up normalcy through tying tummy trimmers or large sheets around the affected abdominal area. For caesarian sections, moms may wait a bit longer before tying up.

Enough sleep is key to a quick recovery process. Experts believe one major contribution of post-birth depression is insufficient sleep. Keen observation will enable mothers to learn when their infants sleep most. At that time they too can sleep. If this is not possible, then relatives or parents may help with carrying babies as mother sleeps.

Post-delivery stress may come overwhelmingly sometimes. Normally for many moms to ignore feelings of fatigue, sleeplessness, the guilt of inadequacy among others. Others shut themselves off people hoping those feelings will disappear with time. This may not happen. Thus, they should seek assistance from professionals. Mothers ought not to feel ashamed of seeking assistance.
