Episode 53: Postpartum: what it’s really like. Whitney Rowell, founder of Miracle Milkookies

And we’re back with episode 53! This is a topic that is especially relevant for me— about to have a baby and enter the “4th trimester”, aka postpartum time. Today’s guest is a friend of mine, Whitney Rowell, founder of Miracle Milkookies, cookies that are designed to boost supplies for breastfeeding mamas. In this episode, Whitney talks all about postpartum: the good, the bad and the ugly. This is the perfect episode for expecting parents (moms AND dads), couples trying to conceive and even family members and friends who want to support the new moms in their lives a little better. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we talk about:

• Miracle Milkookies & what it’s all about

• postpartum life and how the attention/support is focused on prenatal, not really postpartum

• how to better prepare for postpartum

• exercise during postpartum

• signs of PPD and PPA

• awesome resources (products, books, etc)

• & more
