Questions
Who is this guide for?
Any parent in the first six weeks after birth, whether it was a vaginal birth or a C-section, and whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or doing both. There is a dedicated C-section recovery note and a partner page, so it works for the whole household, not just the birthing parent.
Is this a substitute for my midwife, GP, or doctor?
No, and it never pretends to be. It is a tracker and a plain-language guide that helps you notice changes and gives you clear thresholds for when to call. Every health and safety claim is grounded in an authoritative source (NHS, CDC, the AAP's HealthyChildren, NICHD), and the guide is deliberately conservative: when in doubt, it tells you to contact your provider.
What format do I get and can I print it?
It is a digital guide built around daily and weekly pages plus reference sections. It is designed to be printed or kept on a device wherever you feed the baby. The red-flags and lochia pages are built to print and stick on the fridge or save as a photo on your phone.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If the guide is not right for you, contact us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. Because this is for a tender, exhausting time, we keep the process simple and no-questions-asked.
I had a C-section. Does this still apply to me?
Yes. You still bleed (lochia) and still benefit from the daily pages, mood reviews, feeding pages, and red flags. There is also a separate C-section section covering wound care, lifting limits, when to resume activity, gentle pelvic floor work, and the specific warning signs of wound infection and blood clots, all sourced from the NHS.
What if I am worried about my mood?
The guide includes a weekly mood review modeled on the kind of screens providers use (EPDS and PHQ style) and a plain note that postnatal depression is common and treatable. It tells you clearly when to seek help and includes the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for the US. It is a self-check, not a diagnosis, and it always points you toward professional help.
The first six weeks after birth are their own season.
