It's Postpartum Week at Amy Wraps Babies! This week we're focusing on the intersection of babywearing and all the other stuff that happens when a new person is welcomed into the family. We'll be sharing a bunch of inspiration, resources, and support about postpartum and gathering it all for future reference here in this pinned post and online at the link below.

"Postpartum" is defined for us this week as any period of time following the welcoming of a new family member, no matter how you measure that period of time (for example, my son is almost a year old and I still consider myself in some extent of postpartum), whether or not you were a gestational caregiver (partners and adoptive parents have postpartum considerations too!) and whether the new family member is an infant or older.

Here's what to come during Postpartum Week! As we progress, links to resources will be gathered here as well.

Sharing stories! Babywearing has shown to be a very successful tool for postpartum. We'll be sharing several stories across social media.    
Ergonomics - what physiological considerations need to be made for postpartum babywearing, both for baby and caregiver?
Support - a look at Postpartum Progress, an organization that works to reduce the stigma of maternal mental illness by spreading awareness and providing support. Thank you to Lalu Wovens for donating a portion of Chrysalis sales proceeds to Postpartum Progress so they can continue their advocacy and support work! http://postpartumprogress.org/

Live Videos - a couple therapeutic and super comfy carries for you and baby!
Thank you to Lalu Wovens who have provided a couple great wraps for us to use this week!
