Traditional postpartum foods are wet foods, but at

Traditional postpartum foods are wet foods, but at three-months postpartum the menu has changed along with mother’s desires. French toast aka fried bread as some say, can be a delicious energy booster; the nuts and egg coated bread adds protein to the meal, and the bread is the carbohydrate. You can swap the maple syrup for black strap molasses to add som traces of iron. #postpartum #newmother #blackmidwifecooking #smcdoulas #grannymidwife #blackmidwife #blackowned #frenchtoast #protien #blackdoulas #nutrition #eattolive #theoutbound #cookinggene #postpartum #blackbirthtraditions #iron #anemia #postpartumrituals #blackmidwifecooking #shafiamonroeconsulting #trainwithme #herbs #garden #vbac #homebirth #postcaesarean #bellywrap #blacklivesmatter #maternalmortality #power shafiamonroe.com

Doing garden work by night, using artificial light. It’s mysterious and beautiful all in one. The elders said, some things grew better when planted on the full moon. #night #fullmoon #smcdoulas #blackmidwidwifecooking #nightgardening #enchantedforest #shafiamonroe #goodnight

Elevate fatherhood, keep them engaged through education, respect and sincerity; their involvement helps reduce premature births, and more. They are needed and loved. This what the granny midwife taught. smcdoulas #blackmidwifecooking #fatherhood #grannymidwife #blackdoulas #blackwomanowned #blackfathersdoexist #baby #parent #supportdads #homebirth #vbac #midwifery #blackmidwifestudent

Birth balls should be of varying sizes to accommodate the height and weight of the pregnant woman, introduce your client to the use of birth balls in the 2nd trimester. This can prevent/reduce back ache and posterior presentations. Plus birth balls are fun to sit on. #birthballs #doulas #occiputposterior #backache #blackownedbusiness #blacklivesmatter #smcdoulas #breastfeeding #shafiamonroeconsulting #blackmidwifecooking #midwife #blackdoulas Join our free newsletter at shafiamonroe.com.

In my 20-years of marriage, my husband and I make time to drink coffee and tea together every morning. I really look forward to this time with him. As an engaged business woman, midwife and doula trainer, I spend many hours in the office, and this ritual is a part of my self care. This morning I drank green tea and Gota Kola, and he drank Hawaiian coffee. #metime #coupletime #loveandromance #businesswoman #doula #blackdoulas #shafiamonroeconsulting #blackmidwifecooking join our newsletter at shafiamonroe.com

Just finished our August online SMC Doulas graduation. In August we taught two different four-week classes simultaneously. This was a leap for the company but we landed with flying colors. We also hired our third SMC Doula trainer. It’s exciting to have a vision and watch it materialize. Our next graduation will be with our October class. #onlinegraduation #smcdoulas #onlinelearning #womenowned #blackowned #shafiamonroeconsulting #wedidit #doulagraduate #doula #blackdoulas smcdoulas.com

10 days for the cervix to close, 30-40 days for the uterus to return from 2.5 lbs to 2 ounces,
and 120 days for the placenta site to close. That is why the postpartum period is one year. Stay in bed, rest at home, enjoy your new baby, smell your new baby, hold your new baby, nurse your new baby, relax, eat, drink, be nurtured, ask for help. You deserve it. #grannymidwives, #blackpostpartumtraditions #smcdoulas #nomaternalmortality #postpartumrecuperation #fourthtrimester #blackmidwifecooking #shafiamonroeconsulting #postpartumcare #blackdoulas #nationalblackmidwivesalliance #blackbreastfeedingweek #blackmamasmatter #midwifery #blackmidwife #midwifery #breastfeeding #doulas #homebirth #bedrest #care #serve #postpartumfoods #bellywrapping #postpartumbelly
