Massage after the delivery of your baby can be just as important as during and preconception. After birth, you can be extremely tense and this tension can lower you energy and interfere with the caring of your new born. Massage can help you feel better physically, mentally and emotionally. By nurturing yourself early, it can help support and assist you if you happen to experience post delivery ‘blues’ or if you end up feeling for what ever reason ‘overwhelmed’ by the whole process.
When breast feeding, especially for new mothers and the first few weeks, tension around the neck and shoulders can occur. By reducing this tension through massage, it not only helps the mother relax and focus but it also assists with the process of allowing the milk to ‘letdown’.
Having your first massage after birth depends basically on how the birth process went. Check with your healthcare provider, midwife, doctor as to when it is best for you to schedule your massage.
