Today, I want to tell you why I created the Postpartum Prep Podcast. My goal is simple: to help you feel more informed, supported, and confident as you step into life with your newborn.
Most expecting parents spend months preparing for labor and birth. But what about the weeks that come after? Postpartum is often called the fourth trimester, and it can be one of the most challenging - and most overlooked - seasons of parenthood.

What Is the Postpartum Prep Podcast?
The Postpartum Prep Podcast is a weekly show for expecting and new moms who want to feel prepared for life after birth. Hosted by me, Ceridwen Farley - postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and infant sleep practitioner - the podcast covers everything from postpartum recovery and breastfeeding to newborn sleep and emotional wellbeing.
Each episode blends practical information with compassionate guidance, giving you the tools you need to create a smoother, more supported transition into motherhood.
Why Focus on Postpartum?
So many families put all of their energy into preparing for labor, only to feel blindsided by the realities of postpartum life. Recovery takes time. Feeding a baby can come with challenges. Sleep looks different with a newborn. And emotionally, motherhood is full of changes.
The Postpartum Prep Podcast exists to make sure you don’t walk into this season unprepared. Instead, you’ll have knowledge, perspective, and encouragement to help you navigate it with confidence.
Topics You’ll Hear on the Show
Every week, the podcast dives into topics that matter most for new parents:
Postpartum recovery – healing after birth and caring for your body.
Breastfeeding preparation – what you can do during pregnancy to make feeding smoother.
Newborn sleep – gentle strategies to support rest for you and your baby.
Bonding with your baby – building connection from the very beginning.
Emotional wellbeing – preparing for the mental and emotional shifts of new motherhood.
Each of these themes is designed to meet you where you are: pregnant, hopeful, and maybe a little nervous about what’s to come.
