Our nervous systems are not adapted to independently do all the care, healing, learning, tracking, morphing of identity and priorities, etc., that are inherently part of the fourth trimester and beyond. We need a village to hold and nurture us in early parenthood! Even if we do all the yoga, meditation, tapping, acupuncture, and therapy and get good sleep and nutrition (which are all fabulous things!), we still will feel the lack of support. This is a societal problem. Nothing is wrong with mothers; their warning systems are working exactly as they should.

Postpartum depression and anxiety are often framed as problems mothers need to fix—but these struggles are actually signals that our culture is out of alignment with what new mothers truly need. This perspective invites us to look beyond individual pathology and recognize the profound impact of isolation, lack of village support, and unrealistic expectations during the fourth trimester.

It all starts earlier than you think.

Amniotic fluid loves to absorb near-infrared light. A 2010 study on the optical properties of human amniotic fluid found something remarkable: Amniotic fluid selectively transmits red and near-infrared light, with peak transmission at 850nm—the exact wavelength abundant in morning and evening sunlight. These are the same wavelengths that power mitochondrial energy production and cellular development.

But here’s the critical part: As pregnancy progresses, light transmission drops. Amniotic fluid becomes more optically dense in later gestation, meaning less light passes through. Early and mid-pregnancy sun exposure matters most. – Lindsey Mathews Cantu, DC

In postpartum, your body heals through signals, and one of the most powerful (and overlooked) signals in pregnancy and postpartum is natural light. Morning and evening sunlight help regulate hormones, support tissue repair, stabilize mood, and even entrain your baby’s developing circadian rhythm before and after birth.

Another sought out reason for care is the resolution of a particular symptom or condition. Parents seek care for conditions such as colic, ear infections, asthma, allergies and headaches (to name a few) because they have heard from other parents that chiropractic care can help.

It is important to understand that the Doctor of Chiropractic does not treat conditions or diseases. The expertise of the chiropractor is in checking the child’s spine for misalignments that impair nervous system function therefore affecting overall body function. The bones of the spine, the vertebrae, house and protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain and carries information from the brain to the body parts and back to the brain again. Subluxations interfere with the nerves’ ability to transmit this vital information.

By the second trimester, babies begin to process sound, light, and even emotion. The hormonal and emotional environment of the womb becomes their first “world.” When mothers feel calm and connected, the baby receives those cues of safety through hormonal signals, heart rate rhythms, and even the tone of her voice. These experiences shape the baby’s developing nervous system and emotional blueprint.

There are several ways you can begin building your song library to use with your children. In our home, songs may appear in response to what is happening around us. With the onset of rain, a gentle ‘Pitter patter, pitter patter, listen to the rain…’ When it is time to clean up, ‘I’ve been working on the railroad…’ During nail clipping, ‘5..4..3..2..1.. Blast off another rocket ship run.’ If encouragement is needed to take off a shirt, an enthusiastic ‘… hands up baby hands up give me your heart…’ might do the trick.” — Alisha DiMasi, MS, OTR/L

Singing isn’t just play—it helps stimulate the vagus nerve, support emotional regulation, strengthen connection and bonding, and gently shift mood and behavior through rhythm, voice, and presence.

Breastfeeding isn’t just a personal choice—it’s one of the most powerful public health interventions we have. Research shows it significantly reduces rates of infant infections, chronic disease, childhood cancers, and maternal illnesses, while saving families and healthcare systems billions each year. From lower medical costs in infancy to long-term protection for mothers against cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis, the benefits ripple across generations.
