Lactation smoothies are one of the best tools for losing the baby’s weight while breastfeeding because you can blend up some awesome ingredients to boost your supply, while also helping you lose the baby’s weight. Green lactation shakes don’t always taste good because of the greens…but this one is super yummy. The key to a green smoothie is a really good vanilla protein powder, and frozen, sweet fruit. Rather than ice, I like frozen pineapple the best because it makes the sweetest taste, and it also blends up smoothly. The protein powder (this one is super clean and safe for breastfeeding mamas), helps keep it creamy, gives you the protein…

Finding your pelvic floor muscles postpartum is not always easy because the mental connection between the brain and the muscles is weakened after pregnancy and birth. Pregnancy and childbirth cause damage to the muscles and connective tissues in the pelvic floor, making it hard to connect to these muscles mentally. Finding your pelvic floor muscles again post-childbirth can seem overwhelming if you’ve tried to contact them and been unsuccessful. I remember when I laid down to work on my core and pelvic floor, and I felt like I HAD NO IDEA where those muscles went. Almost like I lost control of them altogether. The whole situation crept me so much…

This Pilates and cardio workout is unique, specifically for postpartum mamas. It focuses on protecting the pelvic floor and core by engaging and pulling in those muscles, then moves into cardio to help burn that extra baby weight off. This is my favorite form of workout because Pilates keeps you lean. You maintain your strength through body-weight exercises while burning massive calories through aerobic exercise. First, you want to take yourself through a Pilates warm-up, engaging the pelvic floor and pulling in your core BEFORE you start working out. This is SO IMPORTANT!! Healing your body before working out and losing the baby weight is essential to any postpartum plan.…

Yoga is a wonderful, gentle technique to start introducing strength back into your life postpartum. Especially before the 6-week mark, as a way to reconnect your mind to the muscles that have been weakened. Previously I was a Pilates instructor, which is very similar to Yoga in terms of the type of strength. The breathing techniques and poses are different, but both do wonders for mama healing after birth. Here are 6 Yoga poses that will help your postnatal body start to feel alive again: Child’s Pose and Kegels: Do the pose, she explains, then when facing downward, practice inhaling, then exhaling and contracting your pelvic floor muscles.

Postpartum recovery isn’t a pretty picture, and there are some not-so-fun aspects to healing and getting better. I personally have been through three births now, and three recovery times. In all my postpartum healing seasons. I have determined what I think is the worst part. This part is the most uncomfortable and scary. It is the aspect where your body feels totally weak and unlike your body. To me, this is even more frightening than postpartum intercourse (which freaked me out after all my babies!), the postpartum period (not so fun), or the 6-week check-up. The weakness and unfamiliar body last for quite some time unless you properly strengthen your…
