JUST HAD A BABY? THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

After Birth is a beautiful 228-page book full of practical advice and inspiration that will help you recover and feel better in the months after giving birth. It is the brainchild of Cape Town doctor of Chinese medicine, Dr Luanne Epstein, who is also a doula and breastfeeding consultant. For this self-care manual, Dr Epstein drew on her vast experience in the field and her travels and research into global cultural practices and ancient wisdom. The remedies and recipes all include ingredients that can easily be found in South Africa. After Birth includes chapters on breastfeeding, healthy eating (with recipes), herbal medicine, postnatal exercise and advice on common health problems experienced after birth, as well as on postpartum happiness to keep the baby blues away.

This book is a must-have for everyone who’s just had a baby, or has a baby on the way. It can also be very useful for their partners, family members, friends and caregivers, including birth professionals and natural medicine practitioners. It could really change your entire postpartum experience for the better, as has the ability to leave you feeling radiant, happy and healthy! After Birth costs R250 (including access to three gorgeous YouTube videos on yoga, belly dancing and qigong) at after-birth.baby.
