POSTS STORIES REELS

Those first few weeks with a newborn are beautiful… but they’re also a huge adjustment. 🤍

Having @almapostnatal by my side made such a difference in how I experienced those early days. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or unsure, I had guidance, reassurance, and real support when I needed it most.

Postpartum care isn’t just about the baby, it’s about supporting the mom too. And having help can make those first weeks feel calmer, more confident, and a lot less lonely.

Some of the biggest benefits of having postpartum support:

✨ Guidance with newborn care and routines

✨ Help creating a calm environment so you can actually rest

✨ Emotional reassurance during a very new season

✨ Support with feeding, soothing, and sleep

✨ Someone experienced there to answer all the little questions

Looking back, having that extra support helped me focus on what mattered most: bonding with my baby and giving myself the space to heal.

Postpartum was never meant to be done alone. 🤍

Hey! 👋🏼 it’s been awhile. Slowly coming out of the newborn fog 😴🥱

Wanted to share one of the most wonderful services offered from @almapostnatal 🤎

The gift of sleep, guidance, love, support and care is something BEYOND.

@almapostnatal helped me with Easton while I was back to filming 8 weeks postpartum and needed a full nights sleep. To me, it is so much more than sleep. It’s having an experienced doula watch and care for your baby in whatever capacity you need/want.

There is this amazing tribe of women to help guide me through this time, even as a second time Mama. They help with feeding, changing and watching the baby all through the night, so you can have peace of mind.

It feels like I was wrapped in a blanket of warm, loving care. Some are Mums and some are just experienced women to help support your postpartum journey.

Aisha (our doula) came from 9PM-7AM and always allowing me to ask whatever questions, show me techniques, help with care/feeding etc. — no silly questions, only love. 💓

@almapostnatal offers a variety of services to help support your postpartum experience and needs in the best way possible.

I am forever grateful knowing that not only was I supported, but so were my babies in this super fragile and loving time.

Thank you for all of this 🙏🏼🤍 I truly am a better mother because of your support.

Your baby didn’t get the memo about daylight saving time 🫠

Clocks fallbabysleep #newparents #postpartum #fourthtrimestert care, so 6 a.m. is about to become 5 a.m.
Swipe for 5 small tweaks that actually help, pulled from pediatric guidance, not vibes 👉

A rough few days won’t undo their progress. Keep things familiar and give it time 🤍

Save this and send it to a parent who needs it.

Schedule shifts are for older babies with a routine. Newborns, keep feeding and sleeping on demand.

#babysleep #fourthtrimester by @almapostnatal

Normalize showing up for new parents without making them project manage your help.

Don’t ask them to make a list. Don’t make them host you. Don’t assume holding the baby is the favour.

Bring food. Do a task. Keep the visit short. Check on them.

The fourth trimester is a team sport. Consider this your cheat sheet. 🤍

Save it. Send it. Be that friend.

Working late puts Melissa Gallagher’s mind at ease 💆‍♀️

As a mom and the CEO and founder of @almapostnatal, a company that offers premium postpartum care in Ontario and B.C., Gallagher’s days can get pretty heavy.

“The decisions that we’re making are related to a very vulnerable period of time in someone else’s life, and I don’t take that lightly,” she says.

So how does she do it? At the link in bio, Gallagher shares her best career advice, the Toronto facial she swears by and how an AI tool helps her manage her never-ending to-do list.
