Rest is a recovery tool
Sleep in short stretches, keep feeds and care close, and let others handle household tasks. Your body is healing and needs time.
Hydration and steady meals
Keep water and easy snacks nearby. A consistent intake supports healing and energy when sleep is short.
Ask for specific help
Clear requests like laundry, a warm meal, or baby care during a nap make it easier for others to step in.
