It takes a village to raise a Mother.
Throughout history, the knowledge of motherhood was imparted to us by our community. Across generations, we were supported and nurtured by our predecessors. The wisdom flowed from grandmother to mother to daughter. In societies of the past, we observed the tender care given to infants and children from early on. These observations shaped our understanding and influenced how we raised our own children.
We were never meant to do this alone.
Women in the past were supported during the postpartum period by a dedicated network of maternal figures until they regained their strength. Assistance was readily available for childcare when needed. Presently, mothers are expected to quickly recover, return to their pre-pregnancy state, and resume their usual activities. The pressure to effortlessly manage every aspect of their lives can leave mothers feeling like they are falling short for their children and themselves.
