How to recover after childbirth? - #15068

I feel like my body has changed so much after childbirth that I barely recognize it. Some of the symptoms I’m experiencing actually scare me—I don’t know if they’re normal or if something is seriously wrong. I gave birth naturally 6 weeks ago, and I still feel exhausted all the time. My back hurts, my knees feel weak, and I can’t seem to get my energy back no matter how much I rest. My digestion is also a mess—sometimes I feel bloated, other times I get constipated for days. And now, on top of everything, I’m starting to worry that my milk might go missing. My supply was fine at first, but lately, I feel like it’s decreasing, and I have no idea what to do. My mom keeps telling me to eat heavy, oily foods to rebuild my strength, but honestly, that just makes me feel more sluggish. I tried drinking warm milk with some spices, but I’m not sure if it’s actually helping. My skin is also so dry, no matter how much I hydrate, and my hair is falling out in clumps. I know some hair loss is normal, but this is insane. I barely recognize myself in the mirror. Sleeping is also a nightmare. The baby wakes up every couple of hours, but even when I do get a chance to sleep, I wake up drenched in sweat. My emotions are all over the place, too. One minute I’m fine, the next I’m crying over something stupid. I don’t know if this is just hormones or if I’m doing something wrong. I read that Ayurveda has specific ways to help women recover after childbirth, but I don’t know where to start. Should I change my diet completely? Are there specific herbs I should take? What kind of massage is best? Some people say abhyanga is good, but I’m worried about using too much oil since my digestion is already off. And what about exercise? I feel like I should be moving more, but every time I try, my joints feel weak, and I get tired so fast. Also, how do I fix my sleep? Are there Ayurvedic tips for better rest? And what’s the best way to stop the hair loss? Should I be taking specific supplements? And most importantly—how do I make sure my milk supply doesn’t disappear? I feel like I need a full-body reset but don’t know where to start. Any advice would be really appreciated!
