Real Postpartum captures the magical, sometimes mundane, and treasured moments of motherhood. Real Postpartum encapsulates love and motherhood and womanhood in all the little details you’ll always want to remember.

Real Postpartum: A Tandem Breastfeeding Milk Bath in St. Paul, Minnesota by Meredith Westin

What a treat it was to spend some time with this mama and her two sweet babes. Real Postpartum is an opportunity to preserve a glimpse into the intimate bond you share with your child.

Real Postpartum is also an opportunity share your experience, normalize breastfeeding, and to help other women feel more confident about breastfeeding (representation matters!). Nurturing a baby creates such a unique bond between mother and child and it's a fleeting phase that soon flies by.
