Motherhood 101: Your Questions Answered on Stretch Marks, Postpartum Vitamins, Fasting, and Gut Health

Motherhood is a wild ride, and it's completely normal to have a million questions along the way.

Breastfeeding: Trusting Your Instincts

It's about trusting your intuition. When you feel the letdown, ask your child if they want to nurse. Listen to your body and your child's cues, not a strict schedule.

Postpartum Body Changes: Embracing the Shift

There's no need to "get your body back" postpartum. Your body did an incredible thing. I used belly binding, a technique from Balinese culture. Continue eating nourishing, nutrient-rich foods like bone broth, and listen to your body's cravings.

Gut Health and Fasting

I recently completed a 21-day gut reset protocol that was transformative — not just physically but emotionally. Since then, I've been fasting regularly on new moons (dry fast) and full moons (liquid fast).

Postpartum Vitamins

I highly recommend: Ashwagandha, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin D3, and Selenium. I also recommend encapsulating your placenta.

Stretch Marks and Skin Care

I have no stretch marks after two full-term pregnancies. My approach: dry brushing, followed by applying castor oil. I also make my own collagen using sea moss.

Motherhood is a journey filled with challenges and immense gifts. Trust your intuition and embrace the beautiful, ever-changing process of being a mother.
