Embrace Motherhood Giveaway

To celebrate the launch of the Ergobaby Embrace Cozy Newborn Carrier, we’ve put together a fourth trimester prize package to nurture mama during those first weeks postpartum.  

Motherhood starts here. Real, raw and powerful.  No matter how much preparation you do during your pregnancy or even before conception, it’s not really real until baby is here, and you start to feel the magnitude of the identity shift into the role of mother. Nurture yourself and babe during this incredible transformation.  With the birth of a baby, also comes the birth of a mother.  We invite you to honor this time, often referred to as “the fourth trimester” or “the first 40 days.”

The focus on the fourth trimester is not only nurturing the newborn baby but also the postpartum care and mental health of the healing mother.  It’s as much an emotional and spiritual change as it is physical, and  to help women make this transition as seamlessly and gracefully as possible, we’ve partnered with a few of our favorite brands to put together a truly nurturing and healing bundle. 

It all starts here. Embrace Motherhood.

Nurture Yourself and Babe with the Embrace Motherhood Prize Bundle
