The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother

<div>The first 40 days after the birth of a child offer an essential and fleeting period of rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on author Heng Ouâ€™s own postpartum experience with zuo yuezi, a set period of â€œconfinement,â€ in which a woman remains at home focusing on healing and bonding with her baby, The First Forty Days revives the lost art of caring for the mother after birth. Â As modern mothers are pushed to prematurely â€œbounce backâ€ after deliverÂing their babies, and are often left alone to face the physical and emotional challenges of this new stage of their lives, the first forty days provide a lifelineâ€”a source of connection, nourishment, and guidance. Â The book includes 60 simple recipes for healing soups; replenishing meals and snacks; and calming and lactation-boosting teas, all formulated to support the unique needs of the new mother. In addition to the recipes, this warm and encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help during the postÂpartum period, navigating relationship challenges, and honoring the significance of pregnancy and birth. Â The First Forty Days, fully illustrated to feel both inspiring and soothing, is a practical guide and inspirational read for all new mothers and mothers-to-beâ€”the perfect ally during the first weeks with a new baby.</div>
