Today’s dual masterclasses were a full house… and a powerful reminder of who we’re here for 🤍

Led by Ronnie, our Supervisor, former NICU RN, postpartum doula, and child development expert with a master’s in child psychology, the room was filled with thoughtful questions, engaged partners, and parents-to-be who are clearly planning ahead, not waiting until they’re exhausted or overwhelmed.

One thing we noticed: every attendee was pregnant, and many came with their partner. That tells us you’re being intentional. You’re preparing early. And that’s exactly when support matters most.

So we’d love your input as we plan our next masterclass:
A. Birth Prep (by popular demand)
B. Baby Milestones (0–12 months)
C. The Fourth Trimester: planning recovery before baby arrives

Comment A, B, or C below, or tell us what you’d most want support with 🤍

And a big thank-you to our juice sponsor for keeping everyone refreshed 🌿

A statue that finally tells the truth about motherhood...

Outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in London ~ the same place where generations of royal babies were born ~ a new bronze sculpture now stands: Mother Vérité, or Mother Truth.

Created by British artist Rayvenn Shaleigha D’Clark, the life-size work shows a woman just days after giving birth: belly still soft, breasts engorged, body still healing. Note her stance: raw and unapologetic, one hand cradling her postpartum abdomen, the other resting by her side in quiet defiance.

It’s the first public statue in the UK to depict a woman in the immediate aftermath of childbirth.

Her body tells the story we rarely see: the exhaustion, tenderness, and power of the fourth trimester.

D’Clark designed the piece using digital sculpture and hyper-realistic bronze casting. Every detail, the linea nigra across her belly, the milk ducts under her skin, the veins on her chest, is intentional. It honors the truth of what women’s bodies actually look like after birth.

Only about 4% of public statues in London portray real women, and almost none show mothers.

Now, one does.

At Sanu Care, we see in her the mothers we serve every day — still recovering, still learning, still strong.

This is what postpartum recovery, birth healing, and postnatal care truly look like. Not something to hide — something to honor.

If you’ve ever felt invisible in your own recovery, this is for you.

You are art. You are strength. You are truth.

Tag a mother who deserves to be seen. 💛

(Thank you , !)

Let’s be honest — no one really tells you what to wear after having a baby.

In those early postpartum weeks, your body is healing, your hormones are shifting, and your baby is in your arms around the clock. What you wear? It matters more than you think.

From nursing bras that let you go hands-free while pumping, to postpartum leggings that actually support your core — I’ve put together a guide to help you build a fourth trimester wardrobe that feels like you.

Whether you’re planning ahead or already in the thick of it, you deserve comfort, ease, and maybe even a little style.

Only 2 Spots Left — Final Week of July!

If you’ve been thinking about booking your postpartum stay with us this summer, this is your gentle nudge: our last week of July is almost fully booked. Just two suites remain.

Why do parents choose Sanu? We’ll let one of our moms share:

"Having someone care for me—not just the baby—was transformational. Sanu gave me structure, calm, and the confidence to ease into motherhood without the chaos."

If that kind of support is what you’ve been craving, now’s the time. DM us or visit the link in bio to claim your spot. 💛

***Most parents don’t realize this, but it could be making your baby dangerously hot...*⁠**
⁠
Covering your stroller or car seat with a blanket—even a thin one—can turn it into a heat trap. Temps inside can spike by 20°F in minutes, putting babies at serious risk of heat stroke.⁠
⁠
Here’s how to keep your baby cool and safe during a heat wave:⁠
⁠
1. No blankets or covers over the stroller or car seat⁠
2. Dress baby in light, breathable fabrics⁠
3. Offer feeds more often to prevent dehydration⁠
⁠
These tips are backed by science—and could save a life.⁠

***New Car Seat Rules Just Went Into Effect***

As of June 30, 2025, car seat safety standards in the U.S. have changed — and parents, this matters.

Here’s what you need to know:

-Car seats must now pass side-impact crash testing (T-bone collisions at 30 mph)
-Infant seats now cap at 30 lbs (was 32–35 lbs)
-Forward-facing minimum raised to 26.5 lbs
-Booster seats now require 40 lbs + 43 inches tall
-Clearer height and weight ranges are now required on ALL new seats

What this means for you:
-No need to replace your current seat if it’s safe, not expired, and properly used
-If you’re shopping for a new seat, check for FMVSS 213a compliant
-Keep kids rear-facing and harnessed longer—it’s safer 💛

Pro tip: You can get your seat checked by a certified tech for free

🌸 Mother's Day wasn’t born in a store—it began with a daughter honoring her mother's strength, service, and love.

Long before flowers and cards, Anna Jarvis created this day to recognize the invisible labor and unmatched devotion of mothers. At Sanu, we carry that legacy forward—with expert postpartum care, luxury recovery experiences, and wraparound support for families in the most tender chapter of life.

This Mother’s Day, let’s return to what matters: rest, healing, and real recognition.

Celebrate motherhood the way it was meant to be honored.
