Be Well Postpartum:
7 Tips for a Healthy Postpartum Experience
BY CHRISTA M. HINES
Throughout your pregnancy, you eat the right foods, drink plenty of fluids, rest and try to keep stress to a minimum. You might think once your baby arrives that you can relax your self-care regimen, but caring
for yourself should remain a top priority to ensure the health of both of you.
Water – the key to optimal postpartum health
Drink plenty of water.“The key to optimal health after delivery is fluid hydration with water,” says Dr. Gina Petelin, OB/GYN. “This is important for replenishing your body after significant fluid losses.”
“Drinking fresh, filtered water is especially important during and after pregnancy,”advises Dr. Neel Bulchandani, Integrative Airway & Feeding Chiropractor specializing in breastfeeding issues, prenatal, pregnancy and postpartum care in Redding. “Since our body composition is more than two-thirds water, and over three-quarters of breastmilk is made of water, the quality of the water can make a big difference in how hydrated and healthy you are.” 52
