Want to help a new mom?
Don’t just ask to hold the baby. 🤍
Hold the baby so she can shower.

But common doesn’t mean she should just deal with it.
A mom shouldn’t have to prove she’s hurting before she deserves comfort, support, rest, or solutions that make recovery easier.
Instead of saying:
“Every mom goes through it.”

“What would make you feel more comfortable right now?” 🤍
Because postpartum care shouldn’t begin only when something
