the first forty days The essential Art of Nourishing the New Motherby Heng Ou

I will use their overview of the book from the back cover because it says it all.

“The First Forty Days is a short season in which you recover from birth and your baby unfurls slowly into the world. It is a time of amazing intensity and adjustment. This warm and encouraging guide offer advice on navigating the postpartum period and includes recipes for healing broths, calming and lactation-boosting teas, plus more-all formulated to support the needs of new mothers.”

A great read with so much practical information that I wish I had when I was a new mom.
