Once you make it through the first two weeks after the birth of a child, you simply need to keep track of the demands on you versus your ability to recover. Nutrition plays a role in its ability to help you have more energy and better stress tolerance. All of these issues are fully covered on the Prenatal Nutrition topic pages, and the tips given there.

Being a mother is quite demanding and not always easy. Wear and tear is expected and mood may suffer. Some of this is quite normal and expected, considering all that you have been through and all you must now do. However, you don't want a lack of energy to lead to a magnified problem.

In general, the most basic approach is to ensure you have adequate dietary protein and B vitamins. If needed, use Stress Helper^® for additional basic mood support and Leptinal or Daily DHA to nourish brain cells. You are striving to find a combination of nutrients that helps boost your energy, mood, and sense of feeling in control.*
