A nourishing guide to postpartum healing inspired by Ayurvedic & Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom
 
The days following birth are sacred. A time for rest, replenishment, and realignment. In many traditional cultures, the first 40 days are a period of deep care — where the mother is held, fed, and restored. This guide was created with that same spirit in mind.
 
Rooted in ancient postpartum traditions, the First 42 Days Meal Plan offers gentle guidance to nourish your body, calm your nervous system, and support your milk supply as you ease into motherhood. With a focus on warm, easy-to-digest foods and intentional ingredients, this plan is more than just a list of meals — it's a ritual of care.
 
Inside, you’ll find:
A day-by-day meal roadmap from birth through six weeks postpartum
Gentle reminders, grounding practices, and emotional support notes
Warm, nurturing recipes like rice pudding, kitchari, milk tonics, herbal teas, and stewed fruit
Suggestions for herbs and spices that support digestion, healing, and lactation
A list of foods to favor — and gently avoid — based on traditional postpartum wisdom
Special notes on reintroducing foods, salt, and more, to support your unique healing process
You’ll also receive:
A How-To Section with practical guidance on prepping rice, milk tonics, and more.
A gentle overview of lactation-supporting foods to keep nearby in your postpartum cart
 
Let this guide be your quiet companion during this tender season — reminding you that your healing matters just as much as your baby’s arrival.
