The Partner's Postpartum Playbook
Twenty-four pages, written directly to the non-birthing partner. Daily action cards for the first six weeks. A weekly support guide. The gift she'd actually want.
Most postpartum books are written to the birthing parent. This one is written to the other one.
It does not assume you know what to do. It does not assume she’ll tell you what she needs. It assumes you both love each other, the baby has just arrived, and the version of your life that worked yesterday is gone.
What’s inside
Twenty-four pages, structured around the first six weeks:
- Daily action cards for week one — five small things that matter more than you’d think.
- A weekly support guide for weeks two through six — what changes, what to keep doing, what to stop apologizing for.
- A “watch list” — the signs that suggest she should call a provider, not wait it out.
- A page on you. Non-birthing partners experience postpartum depression at a rate of about one in ten. Your wellbeing is part of the system.
- A handoff page for the in-laws or your own parents who will eventually visit.
- A list of things to say that are better than “let me know if you need anything.”
A note from the studio
This was the product I most wanted to send to my partner in week two, when I could not articulate a sentence and he was trying. It is written warm, not clinical. It will not lecture you. It will not call you “Dad” or “Daddy” or make you the butt of a joke. It treats you the way I’d want someone I loved to be treated.
It also makes an excellent gift from a friend or family member who wants to support the household but isn’t sure how.
