At Sanu, we believe that the fourth trimester deserves as much intention, support, and grace as the birth itself. And that begins with the people we choose to surround you. Introducing doula Morgan!
When I founded Sanu Postpartum Retreat, I knew one thing for certain: I wanted it to be a judgment-free sanctuary for new mothers. The postpartum period is one of the most vulnerable times in a woman’s life, and the last thing a new mother needs is to feel criticized or shamed for her choices. I know this because I’ve lived it.

Becoming a new parent is one of life’s most exciting, rewarding, and, let’s be honest, overwhelming experiences. During this crucial postpartum period, it’s natural to seek out the right type of support for both your physical recovery and emotional well-being. With so many options available—including postpartum retreats, night nurses, and doulas—it can be challenging to determine which form of care best suits your needs. In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences between Sanu Postnatal Retreat, night nurses, and doulas to help you make an informed decision for your postpartum journey.
As the Director at Sanu, a Registered Nurse, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, and soon-to-be mother of two, I understand the heightened concern many parents feel about respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common but potentially severe infection for infants, as well as preventing other common illnesses that crop up around this time of year.
During your second trimester, your journey to motherhood is in full swing. By now, you’ve likely gotten into the rhythm of preparing for your baby—whether it’s planning your nursery, attending prenatal appointments, or exploring birthing classes. While these steps are important, there’s one aspect of this journey that often gets overshadowed: preparing for your postpartum experience. You may be thinking, “huh, postpartum care?”
At the end of your second or early in your third trimester, you’re at a beautiful stage of your pregnancy journey. With the first trimester discomforts behind you and your baby growing steadily, it’s a wonderful time to indulge in some travel and self-care. In fact, this could be the perfect moment to plan that special “baby moon” you’ve been dreaming of!
When expecting a baby, many parents are familiar with the concept of a birth plan—a tool to help guide their preferences for labor and delivery. However, fewer people consider the importance of a postpartum plan, which outlines how they will care for themselves and their baby in the weeks after birth. Both plans serve distinct purposes and can help alleviate some stress during what is both an exciting and overwhelming time. But what exactly is the difference between these two plans, and do you really need them? Let’s explore.
In this post, we’ll break down the different types of formulas, how they compare, and whether toddler formula is necessary, along with guidance from Sanu, where we support parents in making informed decisions about infant care.
