Postpartum Care
Postpartum care refers to the support and medical attention a new mother receives after giving birth. This period, which lasts for about six weeks, is crucial for recovery and adjustment. During this time, mothers may experience physical changes, emotional shifts, and the challenges of caring for a newborn. Healthcare providers often check for any complications, provide guidance on breastfeeding, and offer resources for mental health support.
In addition to medical care, postpartum care includes education on infant care, nutrition, and self-care. New mothers are encouraged to rest, eat well, and seek help from family or friends. This holistic approach helps ensure both mother and baby thrive during this transformative time.
