Support & Resources

Compassion, clarity, and care for every woman’s postpartum journey.

Every woman deserves to feel informed, supported, and empowered. Especially during moments that are rarely talked about. Whether you’re suppressing lactation, healing after pregnancy loss, or navigating postpartum changes, this page was created with love, intention, and compassion.

You are not alone. Your body’s responses are normal. And your healing matters.

Lactation Suppression Guidance

For moms who choose not to breastfeed or cannot breastfeed

Lactation suppression is a natural postpartum process, yet it’s rarely discussed. Many women are left to figure it out on their own, often while dealing with emotional overwhelm or grief.

Here are gentle, trusted ways to support your body:

Common Physical Symptoms

  • Breast fullness or engorgement
  • Tenderness or sensitivity
  • Warmth or swelling
  • Leaking
  • Hormonal shifts
  • Emotional heaviness

Gentle Ways to Support Your Body

  • Wear a full-coverage compression bra (like the Eunoia Bra®)
  • Use cold therapy to reduce swelling and slow milk production
  • Avoid heat or warm showers directly on the chest
  • Limit breast stimulation to avoid increasing milk supply
  • Stay hydrated and rest when possible

Eunoia Bra® was intentionally designed to support this exact transition with gentleness and thoughtful coverage.

Healing After Pregnancy Loss & Stillbirth

Your body remembers what your heart has endured.

After loss, many women are shocked to find their milk coming in. This painful moment can reopen emotional wounds and interrupt the healing process especially when no one prepared them for it.

What You May Experience Physically

  • Engorgement
  • Tender breasts or leaking
  • Hormonal changes
  • Fatigue
  • Night sweats
  • Appetite shifts
  • Cramping

How to Support Your Body Gently

  • Wear supportive compression to slow milk production
  • Apply cold packs to ease swelling
  • Rest without guilt. Your body is grieving too
  • Stay hydrated and nourished
  • Seek emotional support when you need it

Your healing won’t look like anyone else’s, and that’s okay.
You are allowed to take your time. You are allowed to feel everything.

Emotional & Mental Well-Being

Postpartum emotions can feel overwhelming, especially when layered with grief or unexpected endings.

You are not weak for needing support.
You are worthy of care, compassion, and gentleness.

Helpful Healing Practices

  • Grounding with your feet on the earth
  • Deep breathing exercises
  • Warm baths (avoid chest heat if suppressing)
  • Journaling your thoughts
  • Reading comforting or spiritual passages
  • Talking to someone you trust

Your emotional health is just as important as your physical recovery.

Cooling Pack Usage (Cold Only)

Our mineral clay & gel cooling packs were designed to soothe breast tenderness and support lactation suppression.

How to Use Safely

  • Refrigerate or freeze until comfortably chilled
  • Always place a soft barrier (like a cloth or nursing pad) between the pack and your skin
  • Apply for up to 30 minutes
  • Allow the skin to return to normal temperature before reapplying

Cold therapy can ease swelling and discomfort while helping slow milk production.
