Most women don’t realize that your baby is experiencing natural light in utero, through your belly, through your amniotic fluid, and all of your choices about where you spend your day.
In this month’s newsletter, Dr Lindsey Mathews Cantu reveals the truth about how your body and your baby’s body know how to grow and heal, and how time in the sun signals that knowledge to spring into action. And this is more than simply theory, read the full quick article for clear, easy steps for what to do to get the most out of even a few minutes of morning light. It will reset your circadian rhythms, after all, in utero babies can’t tell time, but they can sense the sun’s warmth and light. So when we stay inside all day, we lose that essential signal. In our own experience, more time in nature always leads to feeling better.
