Post Partum rest

Shieva Ghofrany: [00:00:00] So the notion that sending the baby to the nursery when you are at the hospital, being something that means you're giving in or that you should feel guilty about is really something that I would love to create, um, a complete no against meaning. As I've said all the time, in the olden days and in many cultures, we used to have our, our village. 

The minute we had a baby, we had a village typically of women who would take care of us, nurture us, and we would hand them the baby after we breastfed. Now, everything has changed in our world as we know. So when you are at the hot. That might be your opportunity to have anywhere from two to four nights of sleep with the help from the nurses. 

If you don't wanna send your baby, of course you shouldn't, but if you really need or crave sleep, then please do not feel bad or guilty using the nursing staff as your postpartum village because that is what they are there for, to help you heal so that you can go home and be your best self. Let's get rid of the shame, okay? 

People, there's no reason for it.
