​1.Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom by Dr. Christiane Northrup

​3. The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother by Heng Ou

It is very traditional in many cultures to spend the first 40 days after birth as a time of deep rest; restoring the body and facilitating the connection between mom and babe. This book breaks down and explores this period of sacred rest with wellness and self-care tips as well as laying out deeply nourishing recipes and foods to consume to restore your body and spirit post birth.

A plant based cookbook that showcases simple and delicious recipes that you can make on a budget. Plus all the ingredients are easy to find at any grocery store. It’s a great cookbook to get if you’re wanting to dive into the world of trying out some plant based meals without breaking the bank. Plus the photography is gorgeous!

​5. Nurture by Erica Chidi Cohen

This is the ultimate prenatal resource. It is beautifully written, and provides a holistic approach to the stages and phases of pregnancy and postpartum. It touches on simple and effective wellness and self-care practices as well as how to support and nourish you and babe nutritionally and emotionally through all stages.
