Can you recommend remedies for my body to quickly recover from giving birth?

Taking a daily comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement designed for lactating mothers, and having low coffee and tea intake, because they neutralise some nutrients.

• Visiting an osteopath, chiropractor, physiotherapist or masseuse who is experienced in maternity care in the first 6–8 weeks postpartum, to put things back into place. This is especially important if you have been left with a sore tail-bone or backache, which can be extremely debilitating. Help avoid the permanent wrinkles of a furrowed brow: get your body sorted. There are also many herbal formulations, herbal teas and flower-essence remedies which can be hugely beneficial. (An excellent reference for this is the Naish and Roberts book The Natural Way to Better Birth and Bonding,and see the Mother’s Little Helper sections on pages 158, 393 and 409.)
