You're a planner. You research, you prepare, you want to understand how things work.
You've invested in birth preparation and that matters. But birth is one day.
What about the 90 days after?
Most parents enter the fourth trimester without understanding that birth is just the beginning, not the endpoint.
This work is about creating what should have always existed: preparation for the mother-baby dyad that matches the depth of birth preparation.
I'm a neonatal nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and Neuroprotective developmental care practitioner with 9+ years in clinical practice.
I've supported hundreds of families through the critical first days and weeks of life after birth. The Prepared Mother Method emerged from those vulnerable moments spent with families in my care.
I recognise that the gap between birth preparation and postpartum reality isn't individual failure, it's a systematic absence of education about the biological realities of the fourth trimester.
This work is about creating what should have always existed: preparation for the mother-baby dyad that matches the depth of birth preparation.
This is the preparation that should have always existed. Systematic knowledge for strategic mothers who prepare.
This isn't generic parenting advice. It's lactation science, infant development research, and attachment theory - taught systematically before the demands of new parenthood begin.
