The First Latch & the Golden Hour
The golden hour is the first 60 minutes post birth.
It is considered a period of transition for a newborn who has emerged from an internal uterine environment to an external environment.
The first 60 minutes after a baby is born is a critical time for both baby and mom.
One important aspect of the golden hour is to give the baby skin to skin contact with its mother to help promote bonding.

My Postpartum Fitness Journey
The female body is incredible…we have the capability to grow a human life! 🤰
Our bodies go through many changes throughout pregnancy and post pregnancy.
For me weight gain in both of my pregnancies was major!
In both of my pregnancies I weighed over 200 pounds, but it never really bothered me bc I knew what my body was capable of.
Well here I am 10 months post baby and not only did I get back to my pre pregnancy weight…I weigh even less than I did before pregnancy and am in the best shape I have been in a long long long time
