Postpartum Replenishment Program
Postpartum Replenishment Program (PRP)
Postpartum depletion is real and in 2021, a reflection of the fact that the care traditionally given to mothers postpartum that has been lost in Westernised cultures.
With comprehensive blood tests at ~6 weeks postpartum, together we will develop a plan to replete your stores from pregnancy and continue to do so while nursing. While postnatal anxiety (PNA) and postnatal depression (PND) are complex and multifactorial, a repletion strategy is an essential part of minimizing our risk of PNA and PND. Unfortunately, at this this stage, optimising nutrient status is not part of the standard postpartum conversation, and very much needs to be.
