Praise for Everything You Know About Postpartum is Wrong "This book is a vital contribution to the conversation around postpartum health. Maranda has created something compassionate and profoundly cathartic--a work that validates the often-unspoken realities of recovery while offering knowledge, hope, and healing. Her honesty and expertise makes this an essential resource for every new parent and for anyone committed to improving postpartum care." --Nell Hudson, actress, writer and mother "This book gave words to what so many mothers, including myself, have felt but struggled to name: the longing for a postpartum experience rooted in care, nourishment, and community, for moms and not just their babies. Maranda Bower reminds us that the system is broken, not the mother. She offers a roadmap for transforming how we care for mothers in ways that will strengthen not just mothers, but their families and future generations. This change is both desperately needed and entirely possible." --Dr.

Hilary Claire, clinical psychologist and author of The Motherhood Reset "As a registered dietitian and IBCLC, I''ve seen firsthand how often postpartum mothers fall through the cracks. In Everything You Know About Postpartum Is Wrong , Maranda Bower compassionately challenges the belief that exhaustion, depletion, and suffering are simply part of motherhood while calling for a more comprehensive, mother-centered approach to postpartum care. This is an important read for both mothers and the professionals who support them." --Allegra Gast, RDN, IBCLC , Founder of Aloha Nutrition "As a Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner and mother of five, I''ve cared for hundreds of women navigating the often-overlooked challenges of postpartum recovery. Maranda Bower shines a much-needed light on one of the greatest gaps in modern healthcare: caring for the mother after birth. This book challenges long-held assumptions, encourages deeper conversations, and reminds us that true postpartum healing extends far beyond the six-week checkup. Whether you''re a new mother, a seasoned parent, or a healthcare professional, this is an important invitation to rethink how we support women during one of the most transformative seasons of life." --Dr.

With honoring and wisdom, Maranda guides us to remember what early motherhood has always needed: delicate, devoted care and true nourishment of body, mind, and soul." --Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD , author of The Nurture Revolution "I honestly had chills reading this. Maranda is an immense wealth of knowledge and so articulately explains how to work with the wisdom of the woman''s body, not against it. This is a must read for anyone about to enter the fourth trimester." --Holly Stein , Founder of Restorative Roots (ancestral postpartum meal delivery) "This book will do something that traditional postpartum care has never done for mothers: it will tell her the truth about her suffering. That she''s not broken--the system is." --Bryana Kappadakunnel, author of Parent Yourself First "Powerful, beautifully written, and profoundly well researched.

This book dismantles today''s incomplete and fragmented approach to maternal health and redefines the gold standard for postpartum care.
