Postpartum practices refer to the care and support provided to a mother after childbirth. This period, often called the postpartum phase, typically lasts for about six weeks. During this time, mothers may experience physical and emotional changes as their bodies recover from pregnancy and delivery. Common practices include rest, proper nutrition, and monitoring for any complications. Support from family and healthcare providers is crucial during this time. Many cultures have specific traditions or rituals, such as doula support or lactation consultant visits, to help mothers adjust. Engaging in gentle exercises and attending postpartum check-ups can also promote healing and well-being.
