Vitamin K Shot for Newborns
The increase of postpartum depression has increased dramatically ever since families have started migrating geographically apart. In many cases, parents are left to raise a child primarily alone, with minimal support. This progression has increased society's expectations of new moms to do it all by herself ; ultimately isolating moms which can result in depression. Support is very essential to raising a family and maintaining balance. Family, friends, and mom groups are great ways to connect with others and know that you are not alone. Experience from these people can help you identify additional options and solutions to situations that you encounter along with providing an outlet.
Herbs to support new moms:
Motherswort: reduces anxiety and helps give you a more relaxed, balanced feeling during stressful times
Rhodiola: Promotes energy, endurance, & stamina
Ideas to soothe a fussy baby:

holding.
