Establishing new family routines can be tough. It takes patience and consistency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9767521dd86820e6dec482/1588173888224-46CNP2BDFPRQ1M8UYPD4/KenyanPostpartumCelebration.UpendoDoula.JPG The FOURTH Trimester - My own understanding of the 40 Day rest Traditionally we would stay away from the outside world, so in confinement for 40 days after childbirth to recuperate, re-energize and stabilize ourselves. The only contact is with the immediate family living in the homestead with the new mother and baby. The baby is not exposed to outside energies for fear of diseases and bad spells too. In Africa it is believed that babies are pure and evil spirits are attracted to them, so you may find a newborn baby with a drawing on her forehead to waide away the bad spirits, or mothers using bottle covers to cover their babies food away from people's eyes This practice has been going for all the times i can remember. My own mother came to the Netherlands to honor my 40day period with both my pregnancies and births. Culturally and Traditionally, we name the baby on the 40th day and the hair is shaven to pace way for a new beginning and then everyone is welcome to hold the baby etc. Therefore; I understand first hand the importance of rest after birth So traditionally i was raised with the culture and it is imprinted in me naturally :-) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9767521dd86820e6dec482/1590238311836-XM9EH8IJWF47JEF8YFAL/Levibackhome The FOURTH Trimester - A son in my culture is welcomed with Bow and Arrow to signify his sex (male), the sourcer and finder for his family. After the naming ceremony and shaving of the hair, the baby is now called by his given name .

The only contact is with the immediate family living in the homestead with the new mother and baby. The baby is not exposed to outside energies for fear of diseases and bad spells too. In Africa it is believed that babies are pure and evil spirits are attracted to them, so you may find a newborn baby with a drawing on her forehead to waide away the bad spirits, or mothers using bottle covers to cover their babies food away from people's eyes This practice has been going for all the times i can remember. My own mother came to the Netherlands to honor my 40day period with both my pregnancies and births. Culturally and Traditionally, we name the baby on the 40th day and the hair is shaven to pace way for a new beginning and then everyone is welcome to hold the baby etc. Therefore; I understand first hand the importance of rest after birth So traditionally i was raised with the culture and it is imprinted in me naturally :-) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9767521dd86820e6dec482/1590238311836-XM9EH8IJWF47JEF8YFAL/Levibackhome The FOURTH Trimester (Copy) - A son in my culture is welcomed with Bow and Arrow to signify his sex (male), the sourcer and finder for his family.
