Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also bring anxiety. Moms-to-be often worry about postpartum life, especially the challenge of soothing a crying baby. What if there was a natural way to help your baby be calmer and more content from day one?
Enter Reishi Mushroom, a staple of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for generations. This powerful adaptogen may be the secret to a calmer, happier baby—what some call a “Reishi Baby.” Mothers who take Reishi throughout pregnancy report babies who are more content and easier to soothe. In the SubLuna community, 85% of moms who used Reishi during pregnancy said their babies were calmer and more content.
Why Take Reishi During Pregnancy?
Reishi is an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body manage stress. During pregnancy, stress is inevitable—your body is changing, and emotions run high. Elevated cortisol levels, a natural part of pregnancy, are crucial for your baby’s development. But excess stress can negatively affect both you and your baby.
Reishi steps in by regulating your stress response, helping you feel more grounded and calm. These calming effects extend to your baby. Research shows that higher levels of endorphins and oxytocin during pregnancy contribute to happier, more content babies. Reishi may support these “feel-good” hormones, making it a natural aid for a more peaceful pregnancy and postpartum experience.
Reishi's Additional Benefits: Hormonal Balance, Immune Support, and Postpartum Wellness
Reishi doesn’t just help with stress; it also supports hormonal balance. Maintaining healthy progesterone levels is essential for a stable pregnancy, and Reishi aids in regulating these hormones. This creates a nurturing environment for your baby to thrive.
In addition, Reishi supports your immune system, which can be more vulnerable during pregnancy. Its gentle immune-modulating properties strengthen your body’s defenses without overstimulating them, keeping both you and your baby healthy.
Reishi is also rich in prebiotics, which promote a healthy microbiome. Since your baby inherits your microbiome during childbirth, this can contribute to a stronger immune system and—you guessed it—a calmer baby.
Finally, Reishi remains beneficial postpartum. It helps your body recover and replenishes lost vitality, while also keeping you calm and balanced—directly impacting your baby’s well-being.
Missed Reishi During Pregnancy? It’s Not Too Late
If you didn’t take Reishi during pregnancy, don’t worry! Many moms introduce Reishi to their children’s wellness routines and notice improvements in calmness and sleep. Reishi supports a child’s nervous system and immune health as they grow, making it a valuable addition at any stage.
How to Choose the Best Reishi Products
To get the full benefits of Reishi, it’s essential to choose high-quality products. Look for properly heated and extracted Reishi, such as a multi-extracted tincture like SubLuna’s Reishi Mushroom Triple Extract. For powders, opt for extract powders like those in SubLuna’s Beauty and Bliss Cacao.
Incorporating Reishi into your pregnancy and postpartum routine is a natural way to support your well-being and help your baby thrive. From reducing stress and balancing hormones to boosting immunity and fostering a healthy microbiome, Reishi sets the stage for a happier, more content baby.
Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned parent, Reishi offers a powerful solution for a peaceful postpartum experience. Start your journey with Reishi and watch as your “Reishi baby” grows happier and more resilient each day.
