Life After Birth is your essential guide to the wide and diverse spectrum of motherhood. In this companion, Jessica Prescott and Vaughne Geary share their evidence-based approach to the lost but ever important art of caring for yourself as a mother, including recipes from their postpartum food delivery service Mama Goodness.
