Postpartum Primer is an intro to Infant Feeding, Babywearing, and postpartum mood disorder warning signs.

We will discuss ways to bond with your baby beyond feeding and help you gather tools and resources so that you can implement a plan to care for yourself while caring for a newborn. Additionally, we will chat about how to recognize symptoms of Baby blues, depression, psychosis, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in regards to when to refer to a medical professional.

The basics of feeding an infant- proper latch, paced bottle feeding, proper milk storage, introducing a pacifier. Body mechanics while wearing your baby, and proper positioning of the baby in various carriers. Postpartum plan creation and why it is important.
