Did you know that after a flamingo has their baby they turn this feathers from a shade of popping pink to a shade of pure white, due to taking care of their babies and using all of their physical and mental energy to do so. Similar to a flamingos, Mum’s often suffer similar postpartum periods where we become lost in ourselves as we pour everything into nurturing our new beautiful babies.
With some love, time and self-care, Mum’s do eventually get their pink back. It may not be what they were beforehand,but it’s a stronger more resilient self from their former shadow… and we need to remind ourselves that everything does take time ποΏΌ
A print I made for myself as I was/am in the throes of postpartum that I wish to share with other mums π
